every day, carve out 30 minutes to completely fill three journal pages as fast as possible. the point is to simply write anything, everything, without worrying if itās good or badā¦
then, never look at it again š¤
at least, not for a whileābut this encourages you to get comfortable with writing for the sake or writing, unbothered with the outcome

put a notebook and pen by your bed, and as soon as you wake up, grab the notebook and write 1, 2, 3 pages stream of consciousness, whatever comes up on your mind. donāt check your phone, donāt talk to your partner, donāt do anything besides get a tea or glass of water or coffee until youāre done writing.

My journal is very chaotic and has a lot of collages, sticker dumps, poems and quotes I like, along with more structured diary entries, but one of my favourite things to do in it is what I call free journaling. Iām sure this is not a new concept, I just havenāt looked into it at all. All you do is write anything and everything that comes to your mind even if that is āI donāt know what to write right now. Iām really bored.ā Itāll start with that but as you write you start to tune in more to the things around you and how your body feels, and you might start describing what the room looks like, or what you did that day to lead you to this point, or some strange idea for a project, or how the pen feels in your hand.
I had a professor once say to start writing by just starting and making a word vomit page, then open a new document and completely rewrite it. I have taken that advice into my journaling and just done this word-vomit free journaling, then taken some keys ideas/ phrases and used them elsewhere, but also, you donāt have to ever look at it ever again. It gives you the chance to really let go, and let your brain warm up.

For a year while i traveled i wrote minimum 3 pages but at night before sleeping. It helped me rest and curb phone addiction. It takes me time to write and id do it until i couldnt keep my eyes open. My words would get jumbled and sincere by then. Im usually rushing in the morning or time blind, transitioning from my sleep body is hard, but journaling after waking is potent too. I tend to start out writing what i think i should write, then just dumping stream of consciousness style, and then usually am called to write down affirmation-y things between. I also will write over pages in my sketchbook as my art comes to me as words sometimes first :^)

perspective to offer:
itās clichĆ©, but iāve found that working in the music industry HAS put a bit of a damper on my relationship with it.
i didnāt realize this until this past year, but itās very easy to pursue every opportunity to either generate income/make connectionsā¦. even opportunities that donāt thoroughly align with your personal ethosāthings that donāt excite you artistically
so i offer a word of caution; should you choose to go this route, protect your love for your practice ā¤ļø
