As I was struggling about what next to write about on the blog, I turned to my tried and tested method of sorting through my thinking – which is journaling. Putting pen to paper – the old fashioned way – real pen on a moleskine notebook gives me the the clarity of thought I crave for. Everytime I do end up journaling – I chastise myself for not doing it so often despite the fact that the feeling is so therapeutic. There is something absolute pure and unfiltered about getting all the chatter in your head down on a peace of paper. I cant really call it meditation – but I guess that’s what the experience feels like.

So in a nutshell – what I suggest today for folks who just cant seem to get out of their head and feel increasing bouts of anxiety – get it all out in a journal.

Not an original idea – but It works -so you have to try it yourself. A lot of creative folks try to get stuck in this whole paradigm of having something original to say. But repeating and doing what the wordly wise have done for ages to come and passing on that worldly wisdom to perhaps 1 tender soul who’s never heard it before is worth it in my view. If you have heard it before, consider this a reaffirmation of its benefits.
