One of the best ways of unlocking our personal power is by being creative - expressing on the outside how we feel on the inside. In the process, we work through our fears and feelings and come out the other side with a sense of power and freedom.

I ‘d like to share with you a simple practice that has helped me and my clients do just that.

Context:

You begin by becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings. Thoughts and feelings are linked together. Thoughts tend to be lighter, faster and rest on the surface, while feelings tend to be slower and deeper.

So whatever you are thinking, I'll be asking you to write it down. Whatever you will be feeling, I'll ask you to write it down. Express on the outside how you feel on the inside. The simple process of naming and expressing enables you to transform a negative into a positive.

I'll invite you to explore any negative material that you may be carrying and befriend your dark side, especially feelings such as shame, sadness, regret, bitterness, hatred, anger, rage and fear. The more you can open up to and allow these feelings to find expression, the more vital and content you will become.

I am inviting you to re-contextualise your pain and see it as an intrinsic part of you and an essential part of life. By being able to befriend and include all parts of you – even the so-called dark aspects – you get to live a fuller, stronger, healthier and more empowered life. You become resilient and trustworthy. You become capable of taking on responsibility. You develop strength and courage. You don’t scare so easily. You create a foundation of acceptance and reliability that supports every aspect of your life.

Get Comfortable:

Make sure you are in a quiet space. Turn off your phone and let your family and friends know that you're busy for the next 20min. Sit down with a piece of paper and a pen.

The Practice:

• What are you thinking about now?

(Press pause)

• What are you feeling right now?

(Press pause)

• Draw or write about this feeling on paper.

(Press pause)

• What does that feeling look like, sound like, move like, smell like?

(Press pause)

• Keep making changes to your drawing writing, allowing it to evolve and transform into whatever wants to come through.

(Press pause)

• How do you feel now? What shifted? Describe your experience?

This practice encourages you to express on the outside how you feel on the inside, opening you up to a fuller and stronger vision of yourself.

Benefits include:

• Therapeutic release of emotional pain
• Dissolution of fears and judgments
• Inner peace, stillness and freedom
• More power and energy for your life
