Anyone ever have those moments when you have lots of thoughts on a subject and then when you’re speaking too many are competing to get out at the same time? So you feel like you sound shaky and unsure. When if you could just slow your damn brain down you would sound normal. I should probably remember to take a breath too.
Discussion
I find chatgpt good for this
Anytime I try to explain Bitcoin to people. Always reminds me of this meme. Why I literally do it in steps now.
Journalling helps
Writing definitely helps. But when it’s a topic you didn’t anticipate coming up… or just journal every thought preemptively? Cause then I’m going to be a very busy lady.
IDK, I usually just write down my first thoughts in the morning and then throughout the day if something worthwhile comes up I jot it down as well... it's no magic bullet but definitely helps organize/make sense of what's going on internally :)
This is literally me anytime my family criticizes me for my life decisions, so I stopped talking to them about it. Its sad but I can't stand being attacked for living my life.
I don't want to be safe at home all the time; I want to go places. 😎
I was thinking of discussing more academic subjects.
Makes sense that emotions would come into play when discussing life choices especially if you feel you have to defend them.
Take a breath, write it out.
Totally agree. I love to write.
I need ideas on how to quickly and succinctly respond to a question on a topic that I could speak volumes. The moments you have mere seconds to organize your thoughts.
Do you ever just flow write?
Like thoughts happen and you just put pen to paper?
Worry about organization later.
I haven’t done it super recently. I go through spells of doing morning pages which is basically flow writing.
I find it helps.
I usually only write when there’s a ton going on and my minds running in circles.
Writing gives them space to escape and find a home elsewhere.
Would be more helpful if I did it more consistently.
Particularly a gratitude journal.
I read about a couple that tries to find things to be grateful for throughout the day, take a pic and sends it to their spouse. They started doing this when they realized most of their conversations revolved around complaining to each other. I started occasionally doing this with friends and family. They started reciprocating without knowing what I was doing or where I stole the idea.
