It is simply the act of dumping all the contents of your mind onto a blank page in the same way you might dump the contents of a bag onto a table. It’s like opening a valve in your mind and letting your stressors, nagging thoughts, mental clutter and annoyances flow out onto a piece of paper.
Key Tips:
- Let the contents of your mind flow onto the page, no matter how silly they seem. That way they won’t clutter up your mind!
- Your writing doesn’t have to make sense.
- It doesn’t have to be neat.
- Don’t judge the thoughts.
- It doesn’t have to follow any particular order.
- Stop if you feel overwhelmed.
- Write until you feel the pressure inside you has lessened.
