De kracht van het woord!

Van klein tot groot we nemen erg veel informatie tot ons.
Sneller dan ooit tevoren en via meer kanalen dan ooit te voren.

Het blijft bijzonder om te zien wat er gebeurt als je in de constante spits van de informatie snelweg eens de afslag richting weiland neemt, even stilstaat om te ontdekken wat je wilt benoemen en vervolgens te delen.

Laat het gaan over iets waar jij van droomt, in geloofd, waar je voor staat. energie van krijgt, boos of vrolijk van wordt.


Je zal ontdekken dat er anderen zijn die uit  jouw verhaal (h)erkenning, inspiratie krijgen of  vragen hebben of geloof vinden. Ongeacht leeftijd of afkomst van de deelnemers zien wij deze wonderlijke magie telkens weer terug in onze workshops.
Enne ff zonder beeldscherm....gewoon met pen en papier....


Zoals de video van Amnesty hieronder al zegt en haar aandacht vraagt  'Words can do anything'!

The Pen Is Mightier Than The Phone: A Case For Writing Things Out

Writing things down, with your actual hands, is just plain better at getting you to remember and execute good ideas." 
says the Fastcompany article.

Some interesting benefits according to the article:

"Dr. Sian Beilock’s book Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal About Getting it Right When You Have To, explores the many, many ways that the most talented people can set themselves up for huge failures at crucial moments. One thing that reliably helped very smart students with major test anxiety was writing about their anxieties to "off-load" them. And that was very specifically noted as "writing." In general, ask a whole bunch of geeks where they write down their thoughts and feelings, and you might be surprised at how many choose pen and paper."

Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, has the brain scans to prove it. Berninger told the Wall Street Journal in Oct. 2010 that as your hand executes each stroke of each letter, it activates a much larger portion of the brain’s thinking, language, and "working memory" regions than typing, which whisks your attention along at a more letters-and-words pace.
