Vision Journal Prompt for a Cluttered Mind
Declutter your Mind through Creativity
Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with to-do’s traveling all over my mind and it ends up feeling very cluttered. Without writing them down, my mind is like a constant merry-go-round of to-do’s, upcoming projects, and things I don’t want to forget about. In case you can relate, I’m sharing an activity that has helped me calm my mental load over the past 12 hours.
Supplies: Journal or paper, pen, option - colored pencils, pens, or markers
Instructions:
On a journal page or piece a paper, label your to-do list anything you like. Today mine is called “All the things”
Pick a shape that is easy for you to draw. Today I chose imperfect circles and ovals. Fill your page with those shapes. Option - color in the gaps between shapes for some creative stress relief.
In no particular order, other than when they appear in your mind, fill in the shapes with the to-do’s floating in your head.
Option - choose any you can delegate or outsource. For the rest, pick a time in your schedule you will aim to do them and write/type them in your calendar or planner.
My next step will be partially coloring the shapes in as I make progress and fully coloring them in when finished for more creative stress relief.
