In today's episode we explore a very interesting tool that might give you some interesting insight into what's going on in your mind.
Tool: Free Writing
Instructions:
- Get a blank piece of paper and a pen, or an empty document in your computer.
- Start writing anything at a steady pace, no need to be quick but try not to slow down
- Don't care about how you spell or for any mistakes you make
- Don't care about what word you're using and if there's a better one. There's probably a reason you're using the wrong one anyway!
- Don't worry if you start repeating things. That's very normal! Let it flow even if it feels like you're repeating yourself a lot. I think sometimes that's just us unblocking the thought stream, but other times I actually think it's just us repeating the important stuff.
Tips:
- Start with a sentence like "Today I feel..." or "I want..." or "I need..."
