What a great piece! You've given me much to think about and lots of helpful tips. This was the push I needed to find an ergonomic foot rest for under my desk and order it! I know my back will thank me for it.

Lately, I've started to pull an oracle card before I start to write and I've found that helps ground me.

Oh, thank you for this lovely feedback Cassandra! I hope the ergonomic foot rest is on its way to you, and thank you for mentioning oracle cards - I'm quite new to using them (they were a Christmas gift) but am already enjoying the potential they inspire 😊

Oh what a fun Christmas gift! I took courses from Susannah Conway (she's here on Substack too) on how to use oracle and tarot cards for journaling and I highly recommend!

Thank you for this recommendation Cassandra; sounds great and just what I need for learning more about using the cards!

Excellent post....as a new writer (to Substack, I've been blessed to have other safe places to write and be read) this is all so important.

Love this, Helen. I think the 'symbolic objects' that you mention here can be so helpful.
