how to brain dump like a pro

what you need

a messy notebook (I like the Leuchturm bullet ones)

a pen

a beverage for emotional support (or several <3)

how to get started

grab your notebook, and sit down in a quiet moment with enough time so you won't stress even more. The point of a brain dump is to unload all your thoughts, everything that is stressing you is put to paper. not aesthetically, no cutesy Pinterest vibes; we need it plain, unromanticised, and personal.

some prompts to get you going

do I have any deadlines coming up?

have I been making time for myself and my hobbies?

what projects, tasks, appointments, and/ or plans are currently stressing me out?

am I procrastinating anything?

am I properly looking after myself? (mental/physical health, skincare, hobbies, school/work, etc etc)

am I currently working through any challenges, and if yes how is that going so far?

how are my friends/relationships doing?

is there an area in my life that I should prioritise right now?

do I feel confident and comfortable at the moment?

Review and reflect

take some time and go over your writing; you can underline or highlight the points that you find most important. make this whole "brain dump" thing a routine; sometimes it takes a bit of writing until you actually get comfortable with putting your emotions onto paper (it sounds easier than it is..), but the more often you do this, the more comfortable you will get!! <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments! <3

resonated too hard with Matilda (1996) as a child, so what I'm saying is I have built a home for myself at the cross-streets of depression and whimsy

decorated my journal cover! the practice was becoming stressful (which journaling isn’t supposed to be!) and like a chore, so i decided to try a new method of writing & drawing more about my collections and special interests! it’s much more happymaking.

" Well well welcome!" She quips

I take off my helmet, anxious.

" Thank you." I gravel.

She leans back in a muffled surprise at the sight of me.

" Uuumm..."

Before she finished her thought. I produced a few coins. The black of my K-suit shimmered for an instant.

" I need something special." I drawl with a pang of self-awareness.

She cocks her head with a subtle concern to her face.

" You ain't fooling nobody with those eyes of yours."

I sigh.

" My eyes are the most interesting thing about me..."

" That's nice, isn't it?"

" Feeling between the words...guess so."

She pushes the coins back to me.

" On the house, stranger. Relax. There are worse things to be than...whatever you seem to think you are."

I take a deep breath. My mind tumbling through possibilities...

" Thank you...I'll have whatever you'll give me..."

" Alrighty then!" She chirps with a gentle squeeze of my hand, and heads for the bar.

It was once she turned to gaze at me that I knew compassion lived here.
