It's just like we are going to scratch the surface of the three advanced methods and in doing that, we'll be taking a look at stream of consciousness. We'll be looking at dream journals, we'll be looking at the future self writing. This is overview, scratching the surface on all these three advanced practices. Let's go writing. Stream of consciousness. This practice involves writing continuously, without stopping, allowing thoughts to flow freely. So when you do stream of consciousness writing, when you do stream of consciousness journaling, it allows you to write continuously without stopping, allowing your thoughts to flow freely, and this will help you to uncover ding patterns of triggers. And ideas that might be suppressed. It will allow you to uncover discover hidden pattern of triggers and ideas that might be suppressed deep inside you. What is the goal? The goal of stream of consciousness is that you are able to as you are able to explore. You are able to assess and explore the unfiltered subconscious mind. The key benefit is that it enhances creativity and provides clarity for you. You are able to get your creativity enhanced and you are able to achieve clarity. Free writing exploration. This is an exercise for the free exploration. I need you to set up this exercise. Take a blank page of a notebook or Jota, open a digital journaling or open a digital journaling app. Set a timer for 10 minutes. I need you to set your time to 10 minutes. Number two, use the stream of consciousness method to write whatever comes to your mind without stopping or editing. Just keep writing whatever crosses your mind. Don't stop, don't edit. Then don't worry about the grammar, punctuation or whether it makes sense, so it does not make sense. Then the third thing you are going to do is to reflect on your entries, what you are flitting in number two. Once the 10 minutes stops, read through your entry, read through everything you are flitting. Then highlight any recurring teams or surprising thoughts. Then ask yourself this question. What does this tell me about my current mindset? If done correctly and you provide honest answers to this question, you will see that you will get insight into what your current mindset looks like, and that is what you want to achieve. That is what you want to see for yourself. Just make sure you provide correct answers and honest answer to this. What does this tell me about my current mindset? We are moving to the nest, which is dream journals. What is dream journals all about? A technique for capturing and interpreting your dreams. That is what dream Donors solar, but it's a technique for capturing and interpreting your dreams. Dreams often hold symbolic messages from your subconscious mind and can be a resource of self awareness is an inspiration. Your dream holds symbolic messages from your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is trying to pass a message to you through your dream and can be a resource of self awareness and inspiration if it is well earnest. So the goal of doing dream journal is to cover insight from your subconscious through dream recall. Like I told you that your subconscious mind is trying to communicate with you. When you do dream journals, you are able to cover insight. You are able to understand and decode message being sent to you from your subconscious mind. The key benefit is that it enhances self awareness and creativity by interpreting your coding symbols and team. You are able to achieve self awareness and creativity by interpreting your coding this exercise is for dream donor starter. Let's go writing. Recall your dream. If you remember a recent dream, write it down as much detail as possible. If you don't remember a dream, write about a recurring dream or a memorable one from the past. Number two, then I need you to analyze the key elements in that dream that you have written down. List the symbols or events from the dream. Then write down what each might mean to you. Then the third one, you now reflect on what you are writing down in number three. Consider how the dream might relate to your current life situation. Consider the connection, the link between the dream and your current life situation. Then ask yourself this question. What insight or message can I take from this dream? What insight or message can I decode? Can I get from this dream? Very important. Then we go to the third, which is future self writing. This involves envisioning your ideal future and writing from the perspective of your future self. It's a powerful tool for goal setting, motivation, and building a vision for your life. Future self writing is a powerful tool to set goal for your life, to motivate yourself and build a vision for your future. The goal of this is that it allows you to achieve connection. With your aspiration and align actions with your long term goals. You are able to connect your goals with the right actions. That is what this is going to help you achieve. What are the key benefits? It boost motivation, reduce fear of failure, and clarifies life direction. So it empowers stiation. Let's look at exercise that is going to allow you empower you to achieve future self writing. Imagine your future self. Close your eyes and imagine yourself five years from now. Picture your ideal life, including your environment, achievement and feelings. Write a letter. Write a letter to your present self from the perspective of your future self, including advice, encouragement, and description of the life you've built. You are going to advice yourself, encourage yourself, and describe the life you've built for yourself in the future. Then reflection, reread the letter and highlight key goals or values that stand out. Ask yourself this more question. What more step can I take today? What more step can I take every day? What more step can I take every week, every month to move me closer to my vision? This is very important. And once you are able to lay your answer on those steps, you make sure you dedicate yourself to it, you commit yourself to it, to take those steps every day so that you can move closer to your vision. We are going to the next module. In the next module, what will be taking a look at? We will be taking a look at Module four, mastering stream of consciousness writing. We are going deeper. I told you that this overview is like scratching the surface. We are going deeper into those three advanced practices right now. Let's go. 5. Mastering Stream of Consciousness Writing : Welcome to Model four, Mastering stream of consciousness writing. In our last model, we only scratched the surface of the three practices of advanced journaling. We want to pick it one by one and start going deeper into it. We are touching the first one, which is mastering stream of consciousness writing. Let what is stream of consciousness writing? Stream of consciousness writing is an advanced journali technique. It's an advanced journali practice where you write continuously without pausing to edit, without pausing to correct, without pausing to organize your thought. You just keep writing whatever crosses your mind. This practice allows you to tap into your subconscious mind, Explore and uncover hidden patterns of behavior or ideas. So when you practice stream of consciousness writing, it empowers you to explore to harness. That's very deep side of your mind, your subconscious mind, you are able to explore it and you are able to uncover hidden patterns of behavior and ideas. It's not about producing polished content, not at all, it's not. It's about creating a flow of thoughts that can lead to self discovery. It's about you creating a flow of thoughts that can lead you to discover yourself to self discovery, and creative breakthroughs. I'm very sure this is exactly what you want for yourself. You want to know yourself more, you want to discover more of yourself and you want to achieve creative breakthroughs. We want to take a look at the techniques and prompt that you can use to do stream of consciousness writing stream of conscious writing. Let's go into it. Techniques number one, free writing for creativity and clarity. This particular technique we want to take a look at allows you to achieve creativity and clarity. Let's go into it. Start without an agenda or specific goal. I need you to start without agenda or specific goal. Do not have any agenda or specific goal in your mind. Allow your thought to flow naturally onto the page, even if they seem random or disjointed. Just keep writing your thought as they are coming up as they are crossing your mind, keep writing it. Don't bother about whether it's random or it is disjointed. Overcoming self censorship. Silence your inner critique. Sometimes you may feel like you want to censor yourself as you are writing. Make sure you silence the inner critics. Something that is inside you that is criticizing what you are writing, that is challenging what you are writing, that is trying to censor what you are writing. Make sure you silence it. All you want to do is you want to write freely as it is flowing in your mind. Then remind yourself that there is no right or wrong. There's no right or wrong way to do this. Don't think that you are not doing it rightly or you are doing it wrongly. That should not be in your mind. Keep reminding yourself that there is no right way, there is no better way, there's no perfect way or imperfect way to do this. Then if you get stuck, simply write, I don't know what to write until the flow resumes. Keep writing. If you keep writing and you get to a place where you can no longer write, just write. I don't know what to write. Write that until the flu comes back and now let's see the prompts. Let's consider prompts that you can use to practice stream of consciousness writing. What are the prompts? What's on my mind right now? You want to ask yourself, what is on your mind right now? Whatever is it on your mind. Whatever is it that crosses your mind, keep putting it down, keep writing it down. What am I concerned about today? Whatever is it that you are concerned about for the day, write about it, put it down. What does my ideal day look like? Whatever you idea they look like, put it down. If I could say anything without consequences, what would it be? If I could do anything without consequences, what would it be? If I go anywhere without consequences, what will it be? All these prompts will empower you to begin and to start stream of consciousness writing for your own personal growth and productivity. Now we want to look at practical exercise. Step one, prepare. Find a quiet space free of distractions. I need you to find a place that there will not be any form of distraction. Set a time up for 10 minutes. This is important. Choose whether to write by hand or use a digital device. Then write non stop. That's step two. Start with choosing prompt. Remember that we've treated the prompt. Go and choose a prompt. If I could go anywhere without consequences, where would I be? If I could say anything without consequences, what will it be if I could do anything without? What am I feeling today? What All those prompts that we treated. Pick a prompt. Then start with choosing prompt or begin with whatever comes to your mind. It's not necessary that you must go with the prompts we've treated. You can choose anything that comes to your mind. Don't stop, don't edit. Or worry about the structure. Even if you're told seem chaotic, let them flow. Step three, reflect and analyze. This is where you will reflect on what you are flitting and this is where you will analyze what you are freezing. After 10 minutes, read through what you flitting. Then you highlight. Look for recording teams. Look for unexpected insights. Look for pattern in your language or thought process. This is very important. Look for all these things. These things will give you insight in what is going on in your mind. Applications of stream of consciousness writing. One, creative problem solving. You use stream of consciousness writing to solve problem creatively. Use this technique to brimstorm ideas or solutions without judgment. It's especially helpful for breaking through creative loves.

You have to be consistent about it. Even brief notes about dream frag Mates can be valuable. You have to be consistent. If you know you want to do dream donaly, you have to be consistent. It cannot be one off or something that is going to be once in a long while. Analyzing dream patterns, identify recording teams or symbols. Look for repeated images, people or scenarios. When you want to analyze your entry, the dreams you flitting down, you look for repeated images, repeated people or scenario, something that looks keeps coming, something that looks alike, something you can connect to one another. You look for it. Explore connections. Focus on how the dream made you feel fearful, inspired, curios, and connected to your waking life. You connect the dots. You connect the dots, you connect the handwriting on the wall to your waking life. Then we look at use dreams for creative inspiration.
