On the 6th Day of Getting Your Shit Together, your life coach said to you…get it off your chest.

Today, you’re going to write it down. All of it.

Note: You are NOT writing a to-do list.

You are writing down the things that are in your mind just to get them out of your brain.

I repeat: Do NOT attempt to do all the things.

But write them down.

Getting your shit together involves finding clarity, and you can’t get that with all of that junk stuck in your head.

Do it now.

1. Grab a pen and a piece of paper, your journal, a receipt from your Christmas shopping, a page from your kid’s coloring book… just something to write with.
2. Close your eyes and take a deep breath while counting to 5. Hold your breath for one count, then blow it slowly out your mouth to the count of 6. Do this 5 times.
3. Begin to write. Don’t censor yourself, don’t make it pretty. Do a brain dump and get out all of the things that are jamming up your mind.

What to do after you write down all the things?

Tuck the list away somewhere. You can refer back to it at some point, or you can simply let it waste away in the depth of your journal.

You didn’t write this with the intention of doing any of it. Writing down all of the stuff that swirls around in your brain like a tornado simply makes you feel clearer.

Sure, at some point, you could maybe set a goal of getting it all done. But now is not the time for that.
