@coutureandsteel: “anxious introspection.” “excessive self-preoccupation.” These are all terms I got from Claire Weekes: Hope and Help For Your Nerves. After reading this book, I found journalling was a way I would cleverly procrastinate. Of course, im not anti-journalling. I actually recommend it in a few videos, its defintely helped me. However, it can be a crutch if we put it over taking action. #creativeprocess #creativity #personaldevelopment #adviceforartists #anxiety
I think for those who are more passive with their emotions, journaling feels so liberating.

Yeah. This is why I stopped doing my morning pages😭. I get tired of addressing the same thing over & over.

It depends how you journal. It’s important to use it as both an outlet, affirmations, goal setting, gratitude

I feel it, I would journal and feel nothing because I haven’t done anything. Action first then journaling ABOUT IT makes it’s lit

Probably if the anxiety existis in the journal its just a reflection of internal, by changing the way we journal and where the intention of writing goes, it can help anyone ‘take action’ faster

Yes, there's a huge difference between ruminating versus processing, which is why guided journaling is far more helpful when ruminating.

Also your problem become your super powers as soon as you overcome them it’s like adding stats to your character in a game

I love this take 💓 and definitely I ruminate at times. Other times though writing it out helps me to get the courage. Like I give myself a pep talk

I once told a friend that I felt I was writing the same things over & over again. Action is the only thing that's going to move things along

also, mental overthinking is as bad as journaling overthinking. The action and staying in the present solves both of them

Interesting. I always saw journaling as a method of processing ones emotions not taking action on ones emotions.

also, i noticed that MPs should be done along Action bc when freezing mode and exploring emotions through writing leads to + anxiety

I see what you mean. Journaling for me is just helping me notice my patterns and how I’m progressing. Also for showing gratitude

Can relate so much. been doing MP's for 20 weeks and felt this way. i think journaling must be focused on the present moment, but its hard

I won't stop journaling bc helps me to gain clarity but at the same time I need physical action (less mind, more body) to balance the situation

Lost me in the front half, I guess cause the artist way literally tells us to go and to try new things. Think when you align the pages and your actions together it works.
