Embodied Practices
I think this would be a shame because one of the things I value about writing, is the act of writing itself. It is an embodied process that connects me to my own humanity, by putting me in touch with my mind, the same way a vigorous hike through the woods can put me in touch with my body.

Sums up in a few words why I make it a priority to include writing and running in my life. As someone who loves to juxtapose different ideas, argue a case with myself and ruminate on what’s been happening, writing helps me tame that chaos. As someone who spends a lot of time in my head, running is important for bringing me back hard “into” my body.
How about you? Agree or disagree?

Agree 100%! Writing helps me work through things that would otherwise be stuck in my head in incomplete form. I find it so cathartic. It’s like once I get things out on the page I can move forward – with fresh ideas, or away from unpleasant ones.

Yes, it definitely helps with moving forward.

As said before. Writing is process where I sort my minds chaos. Often times not knowing where I end up.
