In this episode, John is joined by Marilyn Horowitz, an award-winning author, writing coach, and professor. Marilyn discusses her innovative writing method, the "Word of the Day," which helps individuals uncover deep-seated issues and gain self-awareness. Listeners are encouraged to check out Marilyn's book, "Word of the Day," available on Amazon, and participate in her bi-weekly webinars to experience the power of this unique approach to self-discovery and healing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Marilyn Horowitz is an award-winning author, New York University professor, TV show creator, and writing coach.
She discovered that her techniques, initially developed for writing, also have significant healing potential. She shared stories of how the "Word of the Day" practice helped individuals overcome personal traumas and make transformative changes in their lives.
The Word of the Day is a writing system Marilyn has developed, which helps people uncover deep-seated issues and improve self-awareness.
The Word of the Day practice involves journaling with a specific word each day, leading to emotional literacy and self-acceptance.
The practice can be transformative in relationships, helping individuals understand their patterns and make positive changes.
Marilyn emphasises the importance of self-acceptance over self-esteem. She argues that self-acceptance, which can be cultivated through practices like the "Word of the Day," is crucial for healthy relationships and personal well-being, as it helps individuals stop judging themselves and others unrealistically.
Marilyn offers a free bi-weekly webinar where participants can engage in the Word of the Day practice and work on various topics like clearing clutter.
BEST MOMENTS
"The word of the day is a journaling practice that takes either five or 15 minutes a day, depending on whether you want to do it, it's taking two parts."
"The definition of true happiness is you judging your own self to be worthy of having it."
"The word of the day goes right in. I don't know how it does it. I'm just, as I say, consider it a gift."
"The moment you turn to it, as soon as you look at that circle, it's all based on neuroscience. It's a long, boring conversation."
"It definitely gets to the point, doesn't it? And it definitely, again, it could stop people having years and years of therapy."
