I personally enjoy writing in a notebook, but I can definitely understand why someone would want to type these things out and I honestly wish I had been told sooner that I could just type out my thoughts and I could have easily hid the file on my computer somewhere.

I think maybe if people ask themselves about their fear that someone else will read their deepest thoughts in a harsh expressive-writing form, they’ll find that it’s not fear that others will read those thoughts, but rather fear that THEY will have to read their own deepest thoughts, that writing them down makes the thoughts more real. What I found doing morning pages is that I have never, ever returned to read them. Not once. What’s important isn’t the record, but rather the act of structuring my thoughts on paper. I’ve seriously considered burning old morning pages journals, and a lot of people do exactly that.

Related to expressive writing is the idea of “Morning Pages”, as taught in the book “The Artist’s Way”, by Julie Cameron. Basically, morning pages are three pages of longhand writing, first thing in the morning before doing anything else, whatever thoughts pop into your head at the moment. No prompts! Write as fast as you can, do not pause to “think” (that is, make excuses or try to change the subject). It’s intensely confrontational and honest, and will make you cry sometimes, because you’ll ask yourself questions and then you HAVE to answer them, right there. It is the best technique I’ve found for getting at conflicts in my thoughts. (I no longer do it every day because it’s time consuming, about 40 minutes and 700+ words longhand. But I’ll do it for a day or three whenever I can sense an unexamined conflict in my head, so a few times a month.)

can you shorten the amount of pages you write so you can spend less time on it and do it everyday?
@davestagner2 жыл бұрын
@@StefanyDjuba You COULD, but I think you’d be shortchanging the process. At this point, I write anywhere from 2-5 pages during a morning pages session, just writing until I feel “done”, but I don’t do it every day - just once or twice a week, really. But if you want to try morning pages, I’d STRONGLY encourage setting aside the time and doing the full three pages every day for a while, until you get a feel for it. And read The Artist’s Way as well. I don’t think it’s necessary to get the benefit of morning pages, but it helps understand where they’re coming from.

@@StefanyDjuba I have done this exercise, committing everyday to the full three pages for 12 weeks. I actually found forcing myself to do a full three pages felt very punishing and unhelpful. I would usually cap out somewhere before the three pages and then end up dwelling on negative thought patterns to run out the pages just to get them done. Day after day I ended up reinforcing those ideas and resenting the exercise in general and I have not gone back. Having this type of prompt she is suggesting to break through whatever is sitting idle in my mind and writing for one page or five would have been a much more helpful for me and I intend to practice this way instead. Obviously not everyone has the same experience and three pages might work great for you but I just wanted to share my take as well.

I think the doodling while listening has something to do with our body being on a sort of standby mode. It's something I often experience when I'm deep in thought or writing stories in my head. I usually get a lot more active and start walking around in the house a lot (which mostly consist of getting my water bottle from the kitchen, getting it back again and repeating that cycle 400x). It's also something I notice when I exercise. Normally I really can't listen to podcasts, unless I'm in the gym. Our bodies are meant to move of course. So giving it the 'automatic' task of running or exercising, I can sort of walk away from my movements and focus on my other senses, like my ears.

It's 4am atm and I've spent the last 2 hrs watching your videos. For some reason, I feel like I can relate to how your brain works based on the videos you make on ways to improve life things that you've developed because of life things, It is in the causes of those life things I can relate to. I'm pretty sure I have ADHD while also being introverted and outspoken, I think a lot, pretty depressed but unsure cuz dead inside, I'm also unfortunately too sympathetic. Learning new things is comparably slower than most people (could be due to a lack of basic language skills) but I notice I develop competency faster than most people (I think this is because of overthinking, I run examples in my head until it makes sense or until I've physically developed a skill, mentally i.e thinking about how to ride a bike is all the practise i need to ride a bike), I have a thought that. understanding can be broken down into units 1 unit = 1 development, A harder topic just means it requires more development.1 development could be "apples are red", "apple is fruit" " or "Non-Deliverable Forward Contracts means Government controlled currency". The point is, language is insanely complex and anyone who can comprehend that can comprehend theoretical psychics which proves my observation that there aren't rly intelligent people, just people who seem that way because they know that apples are red but you only know of apples and it's not hard to learn that they're red. Anyways youtube person IDK why I felt the need to write this when I should be sleeping, it's 4:44am now uni is at 8 am lmfao.

little tip that might help some people - I created a cypher. Nothing complicated, literally simple symbols that equate to each letter of the alphabet, and I write in that. It lets me be as honest as I like in the knowledge that nobody can read it. Sometimes I write in English if I'm recounting a memory I might want to revisit easily (reading the code back is tricker than writing), or that I wouldn't mind someone reading years later, but personal stuff is all in code and you'd be amazed how quickly you learn and can write in a code by heart without thinking!

I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me). I’ve had to overhaul how I approach taking care of my brain (journaling) by practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 50-60% effort into my journaling habit. And to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on YT. Because historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.

In middle school once I got in bed I would write in my journal every night even if I didn't have anything to write about or even if they were stupid things. I wasn't trying to get at an issues or anything, just writing to right down something. I grew comfortable with it and eventually started writing more or using it when I really needed to work through things. Just because I had formed a small habit it created something I naturally went to and I wonder if it is why I don't hold any trauma up until I had kids which is when I kind of stopped journaling all together unless I really wanted to record an event or work through something. I know I need to get back into it, but I'm not sure how to restart the habit. But basically, yeah, just something stupid little, and make it a habit. In her last video she talked about not being consistent or having habits, but some things you should and journaling should be like brushing your teeth, but for your brain.

I seems like it happens after you read a quote, as you then apply the speed of your reading to the pacing your speech. As for the subject of the video; I've always been too self-conscious to truly feel anxious and when writing anything relating to my thoughts it's superficial. I'm often face to face with my impressions and my reasoning behind my thought patterns. But I can see that if your impressions are too many or you don't take enough time to process your emotional reactions, writing down how you feel will seem therapeutic. I am curious as to what you would do once the feeling comes back again. I mean you can't just endlessly write off your anxiety to alleviate your emotional turmoil so you never feel required to take action? That's procrastination.

Your channel is perfect for developing my listening skills. Your speed of speaking is a little bit fast, but vocabulary is awesome. Thanks a lot, have a nice day.

I liked the hand exercise, though it's tough for me because I have had an accident in the past where I broke my right hand & it never got checked out by a Doctor, my family isn't really the most caring so they cared less that I broke my hand & wouldn't drive me to the hospital. However, I really liked this exercise. My left side is dominant, however I grew up treating my right side as my dominant so I had to teach myself to write with my left hand while my right was injured. I cannot write very fast with it, but I've attained enough from mirroring that I can write very neatly at a slow pace. I'm hoping that in the future I can get the surgery I need, that way I can stay organized & improve with both hands! Right now it's kind of a pain to try & write with either. Typing isn't so bad, I guess. I hope you find you're next muse, if you are reading this. Thanks for the exercise! I enjoyed it, however it is barely noticeable which side is dominant so I guess it turned out interesting.

„Buy a notebook“ and a pen 🖊 … I would add 😀 I love my super nice ink pens they elevate my daily writing to new height.

I have watched all your video and I have to say that your editing has improved dramatically. You are becoming better at pacing, making the video visually interesting and making shorter cuts (they suit KZbin better). Keep up the great work!

Everything that you mentioned in your video is so.... helpful and life saving. Great to see powerful women taking over youtube! We owe our future success to you! Such a nice addition to the youtube world that guys were and have dominated, while girls dominate the makeup sector. Never get tired listening to you, over and over (on the auto loop). Cheers! Keep up with the good work

hahahaha...minute 3: 19 so funny.....actually you got a point there because I would only write in a super relaxed way in places where people are unlikely to be interested in my personal writings or when they cannot understand it (as in writing in Greek...)

I haven't done this in quite a while. That is also probably why I've been doing audio "writing" where I record my thoughts because when I start to write them down I don't know how to explain myself.
