Our challenge this week is putting our thoughts on paper. You don’t need some fancy inspiration cover notebook or fancy app to do this. Any notebook or even word document will work. If you are like me, you have probably started this multiple times for a few days and just stop. I challenge you to go for the hard level as you will see trends in what you are writing (if you are being honest with yourself.). It will give you insight into who you are, who you want to become, or what keeps going around and around in your head.
Easy Level: Set a timer for 5 minutes and write everything that pops in your head. Don’t stop writing until the timer goes off. If you don’t know what to write, start writing about why you don’t know what to write down or why you think this is stupid. We all have an internal monologue going on constantly in our heads. This exercise is just writing down what it is.
Medium Level: Do the easy level exercise 3 days this week.
Hard Level: Do the easy level EVERY DAY for an entire month. This will start to create the habit plus you will have more to look back on to understand what’s going through your head.
It’s 5 minutes!! It’s only 2.5 hours out of your entire month that will give you a place to vent, dream, analyze, etc.
Try to find a consistent time of day. Maybe when you sit down with your morning coffee instead of scrolling social media? Or right before you go to bed where you can get all those thoughts out of your head so you can sleep better.
