You may feel disconnected or unfeeling but there is a solution.. feeling and understanding our emotions is like a muscle and it needs practice and training to be most effective. By tuning ourselves into our emotions over time we will become more adept at knowing ourselves. What makes us human is our ability to learn and grow from ourselves, and use what we have learned to improve your future. The Love Story provides both an online journal and an online community of Journal-Artists designed to hold space for you to process your story and find space for you to learn to trust you inner voice. The beginning of feeling and understanding your emotions is through creative expression. This form of expression will challenge you but will also be infinitely rewarding. Explore how our journaling program will help you process that pain inside the genre of “Journal-Artism,” a writing modality that fuses journaling and journalism with the personal journey. Begin the process of expression by telling your story.
Becoming self-aware by noting your feelings gives you the power to break toxic habits by catching yourself in the act. Awareness is the first step to increasing emotional intelligence.
Self-respect is earned through watching yourself set healthy boundaries, feeling your emotions, and knowing what you like and don’t like, Listen to your body and surround yourself with others who care emotional intelligence.
Owning your shadow of hate and learning how to dissipate it will effectively increase your self-confidence, self-forgiveness and boost self-esteem through knowing and accepting oneself. We all experience a full spectrum of emotions, but knowing how to handle them or knowing what triggers them is key to knowing yourself.

Testimonials about Journaling in Act One
“You have the ability to just be like, ‘you know, this is my truth and if anybody doesn’t like it that’s fine because as far as they are concerned, everything that I’m saying is not real.’ It’s really helpful to know that people aren’t gonna to know what’s real, what’s not real, with what you write. You can release things and nobody will be the wiser about it.”
“I want to go back and explore. Why did it happen when it happened. …Women often suppress their emotions…we think, ‘if I just swallowed that back, it’ll go away,’ and it’s like ‘Nope! Still here.’ and so I think I’m starting to really figure, I can’t swallow that back. I need to let things out.”
“The point of journaling is to really just look inside and be like, ‘okay, what is this? Why am I feeling it? And what do I do with it?’ And that’s sort of what you have to ask yourself when you are journaling.”
