Here’s an easy way to improve your writing or journaling practice: Make it a sensory experience.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I need absolute SILENCE in order to hear the thoughts in my head and write. And then there are other times when I lean into sound to help me write.

Music is a wonderful way to appeal to our sense of hearing, and sometimes we write “better” when we write to a soundtrack. (Some authors actually do write their books while listening to motion picture soundtracks.)

If you want to listen to music during your next writing session, I’ve made it easy for you to get started.

In need of some motivation?

I’ve got an energy-boosting Creative Motivation playlist you can write, vibe, and even dance along to.

Need some help getting focused?

Check out my playlist of pure instrumentals for finding Focus and Flow (instrumentals that help you concentrate without lulling you to sleep).

Processing grief, anxiety, depression, or a difficult circumstance on the page?

Pop in your earbuds and listen to one of my Journal Playlists. I have instrumental sets curated for these particular writing purposes – from lament and listening to wrestling and wondering to forgiveness and fortitude (and more). There’s a soothing playlist for you.

Looking for songs for when you’re using writing as a spiritual practice?

I’ve got a playlist that includes calming worship sets mixed with instrumentals to help you center your spirit.

I even have a playlist for you if you’re wanting to write poolside this summer and add a little fun to your writing experience.
