As-it-spills-out Scribbling

[Also known as "Stream of Consciousness/ Free Writing"]

It feels great to speak our thoughts to a trusted friend or a loved one, but there is that odd time here and there that no one is around to hear you out. Sometimes the things which are on our mind just don't seem to form well into words from your lips. This is when I like to rush to my bag, grab a scrap of paper, my trusty pencil and just let the letters fall onto the sheet before me. I don't correct what I am writing- sometimes my writing is trivial, at times, profound, revealing, taboo, emotional, erratic, repetitive, shallow and sometimes seemingly pointless. But here are some

Reasons you should try it:
1) You will have a record of part of your life
2) Sometimes whatever was bothering you spills out
3) Expression of feelings allows weight off your sholders/mind
4) There is no pressure for you to say the 'right' thing
5) It helps push you into 'present' mode (instead of 'past/future' mode)
6) We have an opportunity to give ourselves unjudgemental attention
7) You may produce a solution just from being open
8) It can improve your memory and reasoning
9) Allows you to get comfortable with creating the imperfect!
