Writing My Way To Health
Non-Fiction, Self-Help / Parenting
Numerous studies indicate that fifteen minutes of writing every day can improve your health
Today, many doctors practice “reparatory medicine” with their patients, instead of simply searching for the causes of their complaints. Assisted by doctor and writing therapist Silke Heimes, we will become the best experts on our own health. Her prescription: twelve weeks of writing, fifteen minutes every day. These might be the effects of daily writing:
• reduce your blood pressure
• strengthen your immune system
• lessen gastrointestinal problems
• open up your respiratory system
• reduce anxiety
• help battle depression
• make you healthy and happy
We will learn how to once again recognize our bodies’ warning signals as such, through clear, motivational writing prompts. We will also discover a good way to cope with physical and mental ailments, and how to recognize what makes us healthy and well-balanced.
- The author is an expert in two fields: medicine and writing therapy
- Charmingly designed workbook for physical and emotional well-being
- A 12-week program for improved heath and balance
- For readers of Andreas Michalsen and Dominik Spenst’s The 6-Minute-Diary
