We all write for the sanity of reason. For self therapy, to expose and exhaust our dark cloudy minds, to release our inner angst to feel relief. You don’t need to be good at it, as it will eventually refine itself, find its own flow. Words speckled with dredge.
We were all forced to write a story in school, which often became a dreadful exercise. It became a chore, as the English teacher gave us a skeleton to prose, but rarely a plot.
Plenty of frustration was endured late at night, the pending deadline, in the attempts to structure a sentence, develop a story.
All of the punctuation errors, the spelling mistakes, the poor grammar contributed to failed attempts.
To Write In Fluid
There are many who believe to write expressively such as telling their story, has helped them to heal their tormented lives.
There are instances which supports immense improvement in overall well-being, as words can stop the bleeding.
To write to demonstrate your frustration, anger, sorrow, your difficult life experiences, whether published or held privately in your secret journal, releases critical angst.
The underlying mechanisms are extremely difficult to pinpoint. The questions become an answer in response, to queries such as “Why me” and the “How’s.”
For this reason, wringing out and dissecting successful writers has shown there’s benefits in finding sacred flow when writing.
Just Let It Be Flow
Begin by removing all the mental barriers, the blinders, the restrictions from your mind. Its been said “writers block” is when your imaginary friends stop talking to you.
What flow does is it takes you out of your current element of attention deficit choppiness, distress, and allows you to feel and become a part of something with grace.
So write… write about anything, randomly, it doesn’t need to make sense. It’s proven to be an exercise of healing, a proven method for entering into your serendipity.
The Story Of My Rife
Just make sure you fully expose your minds synchronicity while doing so. Capture your minds turmoil and translate it through your fingers to keyboard.
What you’re not attempting is to impress Pulitzer. You’re not in the mood of thinking about an audience or gaining rewards or accolades.
All you’re seeking is to find your own flow, a state where time appears to shift in silence and often slow down time.
What you forget is where you are, your issues, your everyday self at that moment. You surrender yourself to the exact second you’re currently crafting.
The Writing Is On The Ball
What moodiness and anxiety does is it causes rumination, which produces the thoughts of the dreary, repeatedly, over and over again.
But things alter, things change for the better once you begin to write your courage down.
Choose to write about your scarred life, in a private blog named hope. Write a story of your disclosures, script a narrative, perhaps even a novel.
Make sure you get involved, lose yourself, get lost in the task, and you’ll begin to rise above the everyday frustrations of your life.
Write As If No One Will Ever Read It
Once you begin forming a narrative based on the chaotic elements of your life, the history of you, life will begin to smooth out.
The garbage-in, garbage-out narrative becomes active, since your words don’t need to produce proper structure or meaning. So if it’s a run on sentence, then be it.
Begin to write about you, about how your life is in pause, or how it should be. Write about the fairy tale you want to construct from your dreams.
This is found to be similar to watching a compelling captivating movie with subtitles, allowing yourself to get completely lost in space.
Troubled Times Leads To The Story
These are about the most troublesome of times of your existence. The angst you feel life is doing you wrong.
You may of lost someone you loved to the great divine, you’ve lost someone like a son who drifts away and can’t communicate. You’ve lost yourself.
You lost someone you once loved and thought was yours, to another. You are alone, feel alone, you hear chambers of echos in the dark recesses of your consciousness.
Writing is where you’ll find the bitter relief along with clarity. Writing allows you to concisely describe how you feel, right now, right here.
Everything Happens For A Season
The reasons why things happen, change, during these times of seemingly personal emotional turmoil, can be cured by writing out a descriptive narrative of your footsteps.
Keep them private if you must, keep them sacred. This is your scripture, the portrait of your life. Perhaps over time, you may choose to publish this journal.
Publish it online into a blog, creating a fictionalized tale of someone who has lost everything, yet regained their life, their self worth, all this through writing.
There’s no need to struggle with plot, as it’s about how someone survived and strives with so much angst.
The process of writing out all your anxieties towards the worst possible conclusions, will completely liberate and shelter you from all your fears of the world.
The very world you decided to travel alone to discover yourself, only to find it was right here where you left it.
The Words Are On The Tip Of Your Fingertips
The best way to calm down the turbulence of your mind is to just start writing, and the flow will become active like a stream.
Once you become completely engaged with what you’re doing, then what the rest of the world will do is recede.
Once you begin to write with flow you’ll know. The clue being you have no idea how much time has elapsed, where your senses become muddled.
You become unified with your pulse which is vibrating outside of yourself, outside of your control.
You begin to channel your inner consciousness, using this altered state of mind, using this free drug called flow.
It’s found some can tap this at will, regardless of where they are, what situation they may be facing. It’s found with practice, you can learn to enter such state of mind yourself.
The more often you write, the closer you get to your masterpiece, the more work you produce, the more likely you’ll reach your greatest work of art.
The Work Of Art That You Are
So go find a specific routine, a ritual, to help you develop a process. Allow your mind to become hijacked from the mundane.
The most difficult part of writing for some, is deciding if it’s a waste of time, if it’s worth the effort. Decide for yourself it’s a passage to salvation.
Once you develop a pattern, it then becomes authentic and automatic. The greatest challenge being if you’re up to the task.
Think that your internal process, your test and duty, is if you are brave enough to show up to do this work, to enter this mythical flow state.
Then set a certain time every day, and wait for the passages of your mind to unlock and transfer to canvas.
No one ever said it needs to be perfect.
