Day 11 – Try a Brain Dump

[Greeting]

For day 11 of the Stress Management Challenge, we are taking it back to journaling, 
but this time you are going to do a brain dump.

A brain dump, also known as stream of consciousness, is exactly what it sounds like. 
You are dumping all your thoughts, goals, feelings, emotions, and everything else on 
your mind onto paper. 

It is one of the most therapeutic and cathartic forms of journaling you can do, which is 
why we love it so much.

How it Helps With Stress

A brain dump involves writing down everything that comes to mind without judgment or 
censorship. It's an opportunity to release any thoughts, concerns, or ideas that may be 
weighing on you, and allows you to get them out of your head and onto the page. 

By writing without inhibition, you create a safe space to express yourself and unload any 
mental clutter that may be occupying your mind.

Doing a brain dump in your journal can also help you gain clarity and perspective. It 
allows you to organize your thoughts, identify patterns or recurring themes, and gain 
insights into your emotions, challenges, and priorities. 

It can also help you prioritize tasks, solve problems, and make decisions more 
effectively by getting everything out of your head and onto paper where you can see 
them objectively.

So, get out your journal and start writing! Just set a timer for 10 minutes or commit to 
writing 2-3 full pages in your journal or notebook.
