take your time writing down each feeling as it comes. It can be helpful to think of your thoughts as voices. Perhaps a voice says, “I still need to enrol in that online course”, while another says, “I can’t take on anything else right now.” In the first stage, write it all down without any judgement.

Take time to explore each thought before you move on to another feeling or concern. For example, if you find yourself worrying that your income is lower than you would like, dig deeper into where this thought comes from and what your mind is trying to say. The process will help you listen to the story you are telling yourself

ask yourself: “What do I mean by…?”

The, at the end of the 25 minutes, stop writing and and ask yourself four review questions:

Which thoughts were heard but not written down?
How do I feel now?
What story am I telling?
Do I have any direction for future proprioceptive writing sessions?
