Writing as Therapy Journal: Ideas
Self-Knowledge
A linen-bound notebook designed to accommodate ideas, aspirations, and worries in the therapeutic activity of your thoughts.
We experience many vague feelings—hurt, envy, anxiety, and regret—but rarely take the time to make sense of them. It’s uncomfortable, especially because we are often busy, hyper-connected, and yet a bit lonely. To truly understand our emotions, we must turn away from distractions, common sense, and others' opinions. We need to cultivate intimacy with ourselves.
Product Description
Our un-thought thoughts contain clues to our needs and long-term direction. Writing helps us recognize patterns, question our choices, and strategize—a task we often neglect. Through writing, we can challenge faulty narratives and create new ones. We can explore ideas before committing to them and reinforce those that truly matter.
One of the frustrating aspects of our minds is that the more important or interesting our ideas are, the more likely they are to slip away. They flash across our consciousness like a comet, only to leave us back in darkness.
To truly know our minds, we need patience. Simply demanding ourselves to "think harder" is often counterproductive. Instead, like astronomers waiting for stars, we should patiently lie in wait for new ideas. Our minds are delicate instruments, sometimes evading direct command. They are perplexingly skilled at resisting the very ideas that might save or help us thrive.
