Stephen Covey the author of the best-selling book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People states that many of our relationships fail because we focus on changing our superficial behaviors and attitudes before addressing the way in which we perceive the relationship itself.

When working with my one on one clients on healing their hurt one of the things that I talk to them about is journaling. This is a great strategy to release some of the feelings they have regarding their life and relationships. In the process of journaling, a lot of my clients, in turn, decide that they would like to write memoirs.

Memoirs are a great way to share your perspective and ultimately solve deep-rooted issues.

I also believe that they can bring healing.

While that sounds great the truth is there are a lot of parts to writing a memoir. When considering writing a memoir there a few things to take into consideration.

 The first thing I tell people is to be secure in their intentions when they write.

Are you writing to help or harm? Your writing will ultimately reflect this so you want your intentions to pure.

Rather than asking questions about structure, character development you must next consider if your memoir could potentially harm those you love.

• _{you can talk with your loved ones in advance share your intentions and hear their concerns}
