This resonates with a pharse of Miyamoto Musashi "There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself"
And also i find it similar to an idea which idk the original author, which states "Writing is not the outcome of thinking, Writing is the medium in which thinking takes place" which i belive one can benefit of arranging better thoughts with this excersise
Oooo I love that. I'll have to look into those quotes, sound very cool. There is a power inside all of us that would blow us away is we truly brought it out. It's something that doesn't need external things to validate. I think the external world helps you evolve your relationship to the power already within you. Also yes writing is thinking. that's what happens in this exercise, thank you for bringing up. What happens to me when I do this is that I literally write phrases like "maybe I could..." or "hmmm actually I want to..." and its thinking in real time. for me it can be more helpful than just in the mind because im forcing myself to think and connect. also another quote that this all reminds me of is "If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves." - Thomas A Edison
thank you so much for the comment, so happy this resonated. keep searching!
other people can also do that to you, other people’s words, stories, that’s why we need books or un general society
That quote, taken to heart.. wouldn't it make learning impossible? New information comes from outside ourselves. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?
@@grukoin2789You're right, new information comes from outside the mind, but this is not what the video is about. It's about trusting your gut to make a good decision, without waiting for an an outside sign or force to confirm it, because your gut naturally does what is right for you. All you need is trust, and 20 minutes of just writing out those uncensored thoughts in the morning will really help to clear the mind by bringing out what your mind subconciously knows on the paper.
@@kimkrallmann5333 yes, that's fair, i was specifically making reference to the "There is nothing outside of yourself that could ever enable you to get better..." quote from the original comment.
I partially agree with the the idea in the video, the one you're reiterating. I think writing freely with trust is really helpful in aligning yourself, finding your needs and what you truly want. Taking everything your gut says for granted is a fallacy, i think, there's plenty of old programs in there that can keep you in an unfilfilling comfort zone
This is one of the best advices I've ever seen on CZcams. I've personnaly experienced it but a bit deeper : I've spent 3 days to do nothing but write. That means that when I had nothing to write, I was still, sat on the floor. Not in a meditation way, but chilling way. This is an extremely deep process, where I've written about 200 pages, and came out totally changed, accepted everything about me, let go of a lot of things. I recommand to everyone to do it. Thanks Tozak for sharing this video!
Holy shit that sounds intense
are you fr
It is! It feels like absolute hell at first, and then as absolute paradise@@JortsoftheJungle
Yes bro@@whosminou
did you completely close your devices & social media while doing this, pr listened to music? asking cause im trying to do this too
I’ve been doing this since jr high when one of my English teachers taught this. She taught us to try to focus on something else while our hand was writing- that way you’re truly pulling from the *unconscious* mind and getting the conscious mind out of the way by distracting it…After some practice you’ll be amazed at what comes out of you… either amazing writing, ideas, deep solid intuitions, answers or solutions to problems etc . You can even get an idea of some deep seated beliefs you have about yourself and the world and what’s holding you back (fears etc) . It’s pretty crazy how it all works and is one of the best ways of “communication” we have with the sub/unconscious.
Can you explain this a bit more thourughly?
Do you just concentrate on another object, say lookijg at a spot on the wall and not allowing yourself to think, whil wriying with your hand?
Or allowing thoughts to come but trying to not listen to them and concentrate on the spot ob the wall?
Perfectly said. It's literally like my subconscious was talking and I was just trying to keep up. I was observing and not trying to focus too much on stuff was being said and then written. I think I'll try your technique with focusing on something else and trying to just write my thoughts. I remember hearing birds chirping this morning and loving that sound. ☺️🤗😀 Honestly this exercise is what I want from regular journaling but it's hard to get down to the real issue. Journaling first thing in the morning is like journaling elevated and even though I've only done it the one time it was pretty mind blowing to experience the continuous stream of consciousness and write it down as fast as I could. I think I got 98% of it on my first try today. ☺️🤗😀 I can't wait to do this tomorrow.
@@DudeOfTheWeek You could do that if it works for you . I wouldn’t say it’s “not allowing your mind to think” tho-that’s putting too much pressure on yourself and will probably have the opposite affect. It’s more like allowing your mind to zone out or concentrate on something else while writing. You can light a candle and focus on the flame as you write (I do that a lot, it’s extremely hypnotizing ). I like to turn on music and zone out on that while letting my hand just write and write. The idea is to occupy the “monkey mind” (ie the conscious mind) and once you can kinda get that out of the way and give it something else to do, the unconscious mind can take the wheel. But you don’t want to *force* it, you just want to redirect it, like you would give a child a toy to play w in order to stop them from crying for attention lol- same idea.
@@tansley67 Nice! It really is amazing what’s bubbling just under the surface of our mind. So many answers are there if we can just *listen* and allow ourselves to get it all out to access it….And yea ita first thing in the morning is good, especially if you start writing the second you wake up when your mind is still between sleep and wakefulness, you can access so much in that state. And that’s cool about the birds chirping, you could focus on that while you write, that’s a beautiful distraction lol.
Yo but how do I write something?if I want write something i have to think but 5his dude in the vid says don't think dont force it let the mind be in its purest form,like how tf do i do that
Same applies for right before bed. Life changing. You go to sleep having tapped into something I can’t put into words. Then wake up feeling this superhuman wisdom and power that you couldn’t have gotten from anywhere else in the world. You enable and tap into a full security with yourself and there is nothing stronger, and you stop going to others for help
Definitely, I think I can relate to that feeling!
This is possibly the best articulation of “why you should write/journal” i’ve ever heard. Great job man.
I used to think it was xp waste but after this video I’ve changed my mind.
WOW THANK YOU!!! So so so grateful for all of these wonderful words
I wish his neighbors upstairs weren't walking so heavily
@@buttbuttwhat1 that’s why you hire bots
This is genius. My creative writing professor taught me this. And that book is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend it. This works. You will write things you never ever could have imagined. It won’t even feel like you wrote it, you’ll be so surprised.
That's a great thing your professor did. It's so true, you will astound yourself. You will actually see what you are capable of. We don't give ourselves enough credit
what’s the book name?

Real, minimal editing, 5mins to the point. World needs more content like this. One practical video to add to your tool kit. Brother keep doing what you,re doing. Blowing up soon.
❤1. what are u suggesting exactly?😊😮
Great post kid, Im 59 , been drawing and painting since 5yrs old. stopped about 10 yrs ago since my father passed, trying hard to get back into my art. I have my daytime job for 38 yrs now but I am planning on retiring so I can pursue my passion in Art (Portraits mainly) watched many videos and read so many books. but, came across yours, and I must say you just jump-started my mind from procrastination. thanks kid.
Im so sorry you lost your father. I feel like i have lost part of me when i lost my mom 10 years ago and havent completely healed yet. I wish you the best and your art journey.
good luck dude!
❤️🙏🏼❤️
thanks for posting this. it motivates me that even us younger people in society can have a profound impact
I'm sorry about your loss. I am also a painter who also stopped painting each day due to overwhelming grief. I'm getting back into it slowly, I'm going to explore gouache more next as it's been inspiring me. Our loved ones would want us to keep painting. If you've not read it yet I really recommend the book he mentions called The Artists Way. There's something very special about that book.
"Sometimes it's a matter of just doing the things that we already know." is so difficult to grasp and apply but so crucial imo.
yessirrrrrr
Yeah for me too, it's like I'm stuck in life and I know, or rather just understand, EXACTLY what I have to do to move on, but at the same time I either don't, or I'm just not willing to change anything
I started doing this about 2 weeks ago and it's really helped in so many areas of my life. I even notice that I'm less anxious when journaling, because I'm actually working on something that I enjoy, instead of just thinking about doing it, but being too afraid to start.
this is so great to read, so happy you're doing that and taking advantage of what this has to offer. I just did my morning pages and I also feel this ease of any stress I may be holdingg because now the thoughts are out there and I know I am doing something about it, instead of just letting it build up or stay there
@@tozakfilming
Can u please make more similar
I am from Suriname and i love these kind of teachings
I came acros a saying
As the above so below i dont know if its right i asked for clarificacion but i still dont get it
Can u make a video of this topic where its clear and understandeble
@@e2j710that is a hermetic principle and a foundation for the universe. Came from Hermes trismegistis, known as the great sage which gave birth to ancient knowledge
@@e2j710 You've just found a perfect place to start writing! :-D Write "as above, so below" as the first words and then write down anything that comes up, even if it seemingly has nothing to do with above or below. Eventually, you will find that you've found the answers within yourself. Good luck!
It’s also about the practice of just doing it without judging yourself, which carries over to whatever creative outlet you have
I am so glad your video popped up in the feed. I’m 76 and used to journal. I know exactly what you’re saying-so many unexpected thoughts I wrote down didn’t always speak to me until I read them later. Sometimes I was astounded at a revelation that seemed to appear out of nowhere, but I recognized it. There is something profound and magical about writing down one’s thoughts. It’s a way of getting to know ourselves. Sometimes poetry flowed out of some deep reservoir of creativity, or a song seemingly write itself. You have inspired me to start again. Thank you!
That's awesome
Writing was literally the reason why my Panik attacks stopped
wow thats powerful stuff, very happy you were able to get that from writing
I never knew it but it's been ingrained in me to write. Anxiety does seem to fade too, because what was trapped in the mind was freed and let out onto paper, the physical form
@@expressyourvocals Agree so much this is wonderful
I learned about 'Morning pages' through Artist's Way. In the book, she says to not read it, but I learned that by going back and outlining / highlighting "aha" moments will actually give you clarity on what you need to focus on or give you direction in a enlightening way. You don't have to be spiritual, this is your inner self guiding you.
Please explain this further
@@tehe2641bro what more can he explain to you? Are you really that dumb? Listen to the video man. Write down whatever comes to your mind and go back and outline some of the words! Simple as
Well at the end of the artists way u are instructed to go back through and do exactly that
In the beginning u are instructed to not reread just so u are not preoccupied with the thought that u will be rereading it. But at the end of the exercise, surprise, you are told to read them
@@tehe2641basically in this book to unlock creativity it instructs you to write three pages of flow every morning.. it’s exactly what this video is describing. It just gives it some further structure.
Thank you very much ❤.
I don't normally write comments here on CZcams, but this video came to me at a crittical time in my life. I so appreciate you, and what you've done with this video. It serves as an inspiration to some of us who considering making changes, and are afraid of making mistakes. We do already know the answers. Thank you for that reminder, and thanks for the video.✅💯
wow thank you so much for expressing that, im so happy this is what you took away. My biggest goal with my content is to help trigger positive change within the viewer.i am so happy you found this inspiring, thank you for your support, I appreciate you :)
good job dude. You've acomplished it :) @@tozakfilming
BRO IS A MASTERMIND, I did this as a child, without realizing this was what I was doing, which helped me articulate subject matters with clarity, as well as stay out of my head, which is tough to do as an Aquarius man lol ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got distracted after you said Dorothy when you meant Dory.
oh noooo hahaha, thank you for that, been thinking about wizard of oz a lot lmao
Me too, I had to stop the video and come back to it 😂
Yeah. Me too😂😂
SAME lol
He meant Dorothy his wise girlfriend, not the blue fish in Finding Nemo.
The first 5 seconds of watching this I can tell your going to become a great CZcamsr
It fills my heart with warmth and joy to see a young person to be spiritual and what' s within. It' s all you have, and no matter if you live in a castle, what you have it' s within you.
Started to write down right after watching this video. Realised that I've been feeling like shit for many days, but told myself "eh, just life" because I got a job that I loved.
It's funny. I'd say I'm a pretty self aware guy, but when I felt extreme resistance to write down for 20 minutes straight, I realised how deep my mind was fighting to fix things. I felt miserable, but acknowledging that made me less miserable straight away too. I'm glad the algorithm suggested me your video!
Tozak I'd like to suggest that the gut feeling isn't always right but that it always has something important to say. By listening to it we hone our learning.
Yes I feel what you're saying and it's something ive thought about and reflected on a lot. I think that our gut is not always right according to what we generally define as "right" and "correct" but the gut is always right in what you're saying (having something important to say), I feel we should always listen to our intuition no matter what because sometimes what we think might be correct according to the world/other people, is not the best for ourselves. Sometimes I actually see that I didn't make the "right decision" since I went with my gut but it ended up being the decision that was meant to be and actually was the best at the end of the day
I also like to think it’s always “right”. To me it’s just the natural course of nature acting through us. It may place us in a tough situation but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s wrong. I feel like it does what’s best for you it looks out for you because it is you. It’s like you back off so you can become the conduit of whatever it is presenting to you. It is Genius at the deepest level
@@tozakfilming That gut is an intuition, and when we try to write too consciously, we deny its navigatory powers, hence it comes out state. Need to get our of our own way sometimes, the links build and as you said, the important bullet points emerge, when we let the thoughts gathered, an outlet, and this early morning ritual helps us organizes for the rest of the day. Would you agree with that assessment?
I would say it this way: What we experience doesn't reflect what is outside, but what is inside
I think intuition is always right in the sense that it is always telling the truth. If you listen to your heart you listen to what is. and even if the outcome may be objectively worse, it won't have been worse because it was true.
Only when we are at ease and calm within can we listen to our intuition, and when we are in that state we live a good life .
i am in the process of switching from a career i grew to dislike to another one. what i noticed is that whenever i write my thoughts down it all feels clear , like i feel sure of all my decisions, arguments are solid, etc. but still a day or two later my mind starts to gaslight me into doubleguessing, whether i am making a mistake, sunk cost fallacy kicks in and overall resistance/procrastination. its tough. but one thing is clear - writing your thoughts down always helps to pick put the important pieces of your though patterns, its invaluable. and this video reminded me of it as well as to trust my gut.
Wow I’m so glad you see these things. Definitely trust that gut and identifying that pattern of writing for answers is so important. Keep writing and especially when you are in those kinds of situations. I’m happy to hear you’re changing your direction of work for the better. I know i have to do things i love and not things i should do. i wish you the best luck with following your dreams and getting the answers from yourself that you need!!
this!
By all means, read The Artist’s Way. It will speak very much to what you are doing. Congratulations!
I appreciate how quickly the video started. I get tired of the unnecessary, filler introductions in most videos on this platform. In just four minutes I absorbed and learned several new things, I was very focused as well. Can't to try this out! Thank you!!
this is genuinely the best video I've seen this year. My life changed so much this year and I was always so confined in my mind. I started journaling about a week or so ago and everything just spills onto the paper. It is the most beautiful and therapeutic thing I've ever done for myself and I'm telling you from someone who would always keep their thoughts inside and was very confined that you can come out too. I would always try and talk to other people who probably weren't in the right head space to give advice or to talk about whatever I was dealing with. I realized that sometimes you really gotta sit down and talk with yourself.
It makes me so happy to read this. It's amazing that you'll allowed writing to work for you in this way. It's a great power that many of us need to tap into. It's like living in the dark then you finally open the curtains to let the sunlight in. It really makes you realize what you've had inside all along, what an empowering activity. Thank you for your incredible words as well! So happy the video touched ya like this
Being alone with my thoughts all too often from a very young developmental age made me fall into this naturally, but accessing it by will can be difficult without prompting. This is a good way to actualize that!
Thanks bro I’ll try🙏🏽
Here’s another two quotes I just heard:
- Your mindset determines your freedom
- the magic you’re looking for is in the work your avoiding
i love this. I've been journaling for a year and it is indeed helpful to clear your mind. I remember how i cried while journaling, learned english (and continously learning), learn how to trust and love myself. My journal is indeed my bestie and my safeplace.
Decades of experience have taught me that my gut is often wrong. But you still have to listen to it, and sometimes you have to take the risk and choose the best action you're aware of, rather than forever seeking external approval or agreement. This sounds like a great exercise for getting in touch with your instincts and understanding what you really want to do.
Listening to your gut is advice best suited for Generators in Human Design. I myself have emotional authority which is immensely different.
@@savetheworldtribe I haven't heard those terms before; can you give more detail? What are "generators in human design", and what is "emotional authority" and how do you get it?
Wow really?? My gut is almost always right without fail. But when I say my “gut” I mean the real and true automatic instinct. It’s the answer that whispers, almost never shouts. It will come through quietly and pass quickly. It’s usually neutral and matter of fact….My fears, ego, hopes etc can sometimes be confused for a “gut feeling” but when truly examined it’s NOT that. It has a slightly different feeling and is a bit louder, more obsessive and has a stake in the outcome. But when you learn to separate the two, and learn to feel the real gut feeling, your instincts almost never fail you.
@@whitneyangelie3682 yep really. My gut is 100% not a crystal ball, and I've blindly followed it more than once only to realise a serious and avoidable error after it's too late.
Your distinction between gut and fear/ego/hopes is important though, it makes sense that it would be easy to confuse them. I'll say one thing -- when I've acted in accordance with my gut AND done some thinking and information gathering (external + internal), THEN even when it goes wrong I rarely regret it, because I was at least being true to myself.
@@batlin for me, I am someone with crippling paranoia and anxiety, alongside extremely intrusive and impulsive thoughts. (I can't afford to seek mental help unfortunately.) I really understand how you feel about having an 'incorrect' gut, as I have never been able to differentiate my gut from my paranoia and impulsive thoughts. It quite frustrating, and as a result I've tried to be as pragmatic and logical as possible. It is comforting to see someone who has, even for different reasons, had trial and error with the same thing. I thank you for having taken the time to express yourself and your thoughts. :)
I've been doing these for the last few months now and it turns out I have a looot of unprocessed trauma I needed to get through, so this style of journaling has really helped me work through it, along with meditation and self care.
Sometimes your space is so full of unsaid words or unexpressed feelings that it starts to overflow in the form of negativity, irritation, depression to name a few.
And that's when a pen and paper becomes your best friend. After doing this for 4 days, my thoughts are much in control and clear. I was on the verge of collapsing.
Can't thank him enough for this video.
I started a morning journal a few months ago, it started out more similar to yours but it sorta became this 'prayer/meditation' book. I struggled with anxiety for most of my life, and It may sound silly but this morning journal SAVED me more than therapy or anything has EVER done.. Just putting gratitude on the page first thing in the morning, reflecting on on the day before, being thankful for the day to come. Even if I did not have a great day,maybe something bad happened, or am feeling negative, I reframe it in words like "overcoming and learning through challenges which push me to grow" rather than 'experiencing something negative that makes me feel bad'. Our minds are so powerful and I have changed from being a mostly negative, overwhelmed person to calm and grounded. Because I start my day with peace and appreciation for all. This doesn't mean I no longer feel bad emotions or anxiety, but it no longer takes me away like it always did, and I genuinly feel lighter and happier. All thanks to a dollarama notebook.
HOW do you not have more subscribers? ur editing is amazing
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate those words, I recently started to commit to making quality CZcams videos I like so im happy to hear that!
Yes! Finally, someone who explains that. I've been writing since 2019, and my friend, what a journey. The exercise is amazing to let things flow, and you feel really light by the end of the process.
The most interesting part is when you read what you wrote again, you think like: "This thing really makes sense. It's better explained now."
Thanks for the video!! Keep writing.
Excellent. I did this for a while in the '90s, then for a long time didn't do it, and when I got fired on my birthday in 2020 I decided this is what I'd do. I found a coffee shop as my "workplace," I'd get dressed "for work," go in every day, and sit and write -- three pages or two hours. That went on for a year and a half, until I got hired. I was really excited to start my job, which I still have, but realized that I probably wouldn't continue writing. I told myself that yeah, I could get up earlier, write for at least ten minutes a day every day still...and no, I haven't done that. I do write for my two hours daily on the weekends or on days off. Now I'm learning Duolingo (Spanish) instead of writing daily. I need to get the writing back in there, though. There DEFINITELY is a benefit to writing something every day, DEFINITELY a spiritual connection. I'm going to try 20 minutes. Thanks for the video. Very well done and inspiring.
To be sincerely honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental of course and without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view and my opinions and also without hiding any thoughts in my mind and without lies to the actual truth to clear my open mind and clean heart, expressing my full opinions which I didn't say, just because I was nervous and not sure how anyone would take it. But Today, by gathering all the courage and information from my experiences, I just wanted to say being honest with myself and to-myself and to others that after much thought and consideration that the more I think about it that I actually feel and think that I have absolutely nothing to say.
i've always turned to writing stream of consciousness to gather ideas for stories or poems, and i also always turn to it whenever i feel stressed or over-excited, but i've never kept up a daily habit of stream of consciousness and i think i may start now :)
rly great video btw
its an amazing tool, im happy to hear its helped you like that, and doing it daily will both multiply that effect and bring that inner genius out more. I love it, thank u for sharing and thank u for your words! happy that the video resonates :)
I did this today and found it incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for sharing this idea. Thought 20 mins would be hard, but they went by pretty quickly. It's like tapping into your subconscious and opening a gateway of creative flow and ideas. It's wild that we can manifest anything into existence, it's already within us, already inside of us. Just gotta let it out! Thank you so much! I wish you the very best! Please keep sharing ❤
Just in time to save my messy brain from shutting down. Incredible how you find such valuable information just when you need it. Maybe there is really something connecting us all in this big earth. Thank you so much for sharing this life changing tip. God bless.
Gives “the unexamined life is not worth living” a new meaning!
I did this for 11 years straight. The next level is when you connect themes in your current writing to themes in your previous writing to see what you think about consistently over time.
🙏
Ive always been drawn to leatherbound journals and pads of paper and random writing. Without knowing what I was doing, I would write like a maniac all the time without effort, just chaneled. Since I stopped I noticed a disconnect between my mind and self. I am glad to have found this. ❤
I’m at a crossroads, here on CZcams looking for suggestions, validation, answers, advice and ideas…but this is all I needed to hear. Trust.
I once did this without anybody tellin without uk watching no video i juts had this idea of doin , and at one point I stoped and now when I go through the page I know how much my thoughts and ideas have grown since.
I’ve gotten into the habit of writing very brief stories. They’re usually quite bleak, with a sense of emotional longing. I’ve reread them and see patterns within the characters I create, and this video makes me wonder why I’d ever write about such things. It really makes me reflect. Amazing analysis.
I want to pause what I'm doing and express sincere gratitude to you sir. I got off my butt and did this little 20 minute exercise and not only did I instantly discover Deep notions about my mind, body and spirit that has changed my life forever but I kept going past 20 minutes. It's going on 50 minutes now and I'm still going but I wanted to stop and say thank you.
I felt so lost and prayed for answers early today , I had no clue I would actually get them.
What a truth and at your young age! E.M. Forster said, 'How do I know what I think until I see what I say.'
Now, I say, 'I write so I don't have to think.' :)
All my life I did is listen to me.
My understanding has increased so much that. Now I understand everything and the reason behind. It's like super power.
I do write but I have build my own ways. Will try this for few days if something really cool I can sense and observe.
I have many ways to use my creative intelligence. And I know all the reason how and why it works.
It's good that people now started to understand the pureness of our subconscious mind.
This is very very true. When I was depressed during quarantine I always did these, sometimes wrote masterpieces and other times wrote bullshit that makes no sense but made sense to me at the time. It fascinated me because after writing a few it showed patterns in my thinking and made me realize some things that were causing me anxiety or that were preoccuping my mind. It's quite beautiful and interesting how the brain processes things so this is an interesting thing to do
It’s incredibly impressive to me that someone your age is so articulate ,emotionally and spiritually mature.
Thank you for posting this video. It was a great reminder about some thing I used to do.. I had read Artists Way, years ago, and had done the morning pages with some regularity. Time to start again.
Thanks for posting this Tozak. I love this idea. I already have made plans in my head to do this, and where at. There is a nature trail near me, that runs beside a beautiful river, and in one section there are three hammocks hanging amongst the trees. Its so tranquil here, I love it.
I'd like to add for you, or anyone else that reads this post, I have found that when you are angry, upset, sad, and have it all pent up inside of myself, that if i grab a notebook and start righting down what Im feeling ,and why Im feeling it, it helps to almost immediately everytime, remove those feelings from my body, which releases the stress and anxiety, tension , those feelings cause us to have.
Have a beautiful day.
Every so often a CZcams video pops up in your Recommended seemingly at the perfect time in your life and completely transforms your way of thinking. This is one of those videos :))
MashaAllah brother, that's what I do when reading the Quran. I try to connect the dots through the words I read and seek guidance and positivity. It works!
Salamun alaikum , fellow Muslim here :) I think I'll try this after fajr
I've been doing morning pages for years.
Recently (due to extreme stress) it occurred to me to try to do night pages before I sleep in order to clear my mind and help me sleep.
It's been amazing.
I don't look over the night pages after I write them. I just go to sleep. I don't look at them the next morning either. I'll probably never look at them again. Might as well burn them because they immediately become irrelevant after I write them.
BUT, the next day, my morning pages are amazing!!!
Night pages clear my mind before sleep and the next day my morning pages are so much better, more insightful, more helpful.

This is on point young man. You've never came on my feed but I needed this message today. Divine timing
This is one of my most prized tools for wellness. The answers are truly always within.
That’s exactly how to get control over your mind! I’ve been doing it for different reasons, but the morning part will actually help having more clear, unfiltered thoughts. Respect bro!
Dude this is exactly the type of practice I’ve been needing. Thank you 🙏🏻 you make great videos. Excited to see where you go from here
I approve this method. The key is to be honest, write anything that come up in your mind. No rules, capital letters, punctuation, grammar, chronological, or even make sense.
Purely beautiful. Short video about great wisdom. Without bullshit, talking around other subjects. Bless you.
a simply laid out case for morning journals! great video!
thank you! thats the goal :) keep it simple and direct
This video is a gem! It's a great reminder that we often look outside for answers when the real wisdom lies within us. It's about tapping into our inner intuition and trusting ourselves. The tips shared here for self-reflection and journaling are fantastic tools to unlock those hidden answers.
You were laying down all the facts here bro. Can’t wait to see your future content ❤
I read the book you speak of years ago! It was one of the most influential books I’ve ever read. I do happen to be an artist. Journaling has an ability to transform and on many levels. At first the journaling was about all the negative thinking and what I was feeling at the time however, through the years of journaling, a strange thing began to occur. In my stream of writing , I sometimes experienced the answer. It would flow even faster than my normal writing and with the precise answers. The words would calm a lot of my fears and also be quite true. The action of writing goes into your subconscious and that part of you has a lot of power. I tell my sons to write it down because it goes into your subconscious and then that part of you gets things done.Thank you for sharing! Very insightful and true!❤️❤️
I am sooo grateful for the time, creativity and effort you put into sharing your experience with the collective 🙏
You my friend are exactly where you need to be. And from this video it is clear you have a strong connection to your internal guide. I find this to be an interesting method that i am intrigued to try. I have been meditating for almost 2 years now and i continue to practice finding that place of stillness and observing my thoughts. I see this as an extension of meditation but putting the mental phenomenon into a physical record. I usually find the answers in the quiet space within, i allow the gentle and calm voice from within to speak to me. But sometimes its hard to hear. Though i trust that voice with my life. I trust that this voice comes through in this method. Thank you for sharing ❤
Wow thank you so much for all of your words! I am so happy you think of these things, its so important. I totally agree about the relationship between this activity and meditation, its about developing your relationship with the inner still voice. meditation is more calm and open and maybe this one is more active and forced in a way but both are important I feel. It's adding dynamic to your relationship with the inner voice so that the relationship has more dimension. the voice can manifest in different forms. I also love meditating and its been a few weeks since my last deep one so this is def a sign for me to do another now. Goodluck with this and everything else happening!
I was doing this a year ago . I did one month journaling challenge by myself exactly the way you mentioned here execept I used to journal in night . I still have those pafes wiyh important uderlined stuff . It was an important exam season for me back then and it did affected my life and scores positively . I scored well and was calm during exams. I am in same situation again and I kept thinking that why I was feeling calm back then when my mind is super chaotic now and FINALLY I FOUND THE ANSWER HERE that ky was that Journaling thing that I was missing out. Thank you so much for reminding me of the important stuff. Now I'm gonna ace these upcoming exams too.😊😊
Grateful you took the time to make this. Thank you for this!
this is brilliant! I’m a casual character designer/concept artist, I’ve been drawing since I remember being, I find it easy to be visually creative when coming up with characters and other stuff but somehow I never was able to come up with backstory or some kind of breaf writing for some kind of story for ‘em to start linking things up. just recently I started getting interested about worldbuilding and story boarding for a possible comic, I found your video very pertinent for me, I’ll try to start doing what you teached me.
So before I watched this video, I added it to 2 of my playlists. Your video title just stuck out to me so this morning I just wrote and I wrote 2 kickass poems for my story series... one I want to modify and make it longer... but now I'm watching this video and everything you're saying is confirmation and goes in sync with my meditations to the Universe. I'm very grateful and thankful for your time, energy and spirit. May the Universe bless you in comfortable, humorous and delicious ways.
Quick, simple, very eloquent and chill. Love it!
This is so true, also the main philosophy which we incorporate in writing letters in our content. You hit the nail on the spot.
I like your filming and editing style a lot. Wishing you the best on your youtube journey, would be cool to see you make it big.
Thank you Tozak, this video came at the perfect time. I got into journaling recently, and it's even more motivating to know that my journaling sessions can turn into answers. I tried writing a stream of consciousness this morning, and already found a solution to one problem I wanted to fix. It's crazy how the answer just needs to be uncovered. Once again, thank you for this video.
Your answers are always your life experiences and a lot of your life experiences you can't remember anymore. A lot what you have in mind are unprocessed information. You got literally bomb through the day with data. So the mind is connecting everything by rethinking. Journalling mainly helps by getting structure into your thoughts and get them out of your head. Worries are also self created. Finding answers and solutions also works a with getting into distance of yourself and looking at all you know from a different perspective. You can also create answers and solutions with a different out of the box approach.
Asking others is often semi constructive simply because they aren't you and some people especially those who are in your close circle aren't able to look at things from a different perspective and likely try to influence you in their favour.
Wow, so much love and inspiration, thank you
Thank you… I enjoyed listening to you speak, and I believe that you’re on to something, Sunny. You’ve been blessed with a special gift…. Keep using it to encourage those of us who need a little push. 😊 🌱
thank you for saying that! I appreciate it, I love doing this and what fuels me is what you said, my opportunity to spread any help I can learn along the way
Great content! As someone who’s trying to get back to journaling, I super agree with this. 👌
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you're getting back to it! This video found you at the right time
Pure Gold! Thank you, Tozak!
Great video. The is the best I’ve heard this topic explained and articulated. I can’t wait to see where your channel goes in the future!
I have to say this was a spot on video. Glad I spotted this. I feel like I attracted it to me. I’ve been wanting to be more consistent in journaling/writing for some time now. I’ve been journaling in intervals but struggle with what to write about because I have so many things run through my mind on a daily basis. Should I write about this or that? What is the most important thing I feel I need to write about to get clarity? The last time I journaled heavily about a topic, the ego, was during my South American adventure earlier this year. I wanted to get clarity on this topic and dig deeper into it and I discovered the answer to something I had been wrestling with within myself. It was such a therapeutic experience writing about it over the course of 11 days. But one thing that resonated with me in this video is your emphasis on intuition and trusting yourself. I’ve said it many times myself everything we need to know is already within us. But we look for external validation to reaffirm what we’re thinking or feeling. While the answer is already there vibrating inside of us. As a buddy of mine said a few years ago, “our gut is our real brain.” Excellent video! Keep moving forward in your YT journey. I think you’re going to do well. And maybe we could link up at some point as me and my buddy, that I mentioned, are on our journey to starting our YT channel/podcast.
Wow Im so happy you commented this, I hear you very clearly. Intuition is, in my opinion, the most powerful source of wisdom and answers. And there's a way to get to it. Writing can force it out. Thats an amazing experience you had with it. I think one of the best things we can do is cultivate our relationship to our intuition and inspire others to do the same. because then we can collectively unlock the greatest power there is, a force to truly change the world if unleashed in a positive way. That's my main goal with this channel. Goodluck with your YT journey my friend and thank you for all of the words! Send me more details in the future if you'd wanna collaborate!
@@tozakfilming Thanks a lot my man. A journey indeed it will be but once we get things going I’ll send you details about linking up for a podcast interview. Keep pumping out great content.
When you started talking about writing each morning, the first thing I thought of was “morning pages” as described in The Artist’s Way. I had that book and did the 12 week group meetings with it back in the 90s. Great book and practices. Glad to see it’s still a popular.
I can feel you. It's amazing how my diary has been giving me all the answers i need.
This is genuine advice. Thank you.
I look forward to seeing where this channel goes.
Love hearing the Artist Way come up more often. Valuable stuff for everyone but people in this day and age need it especially now more than ever, and especially the younger you are, so great recommendations i suggest everyone engage with that book and workbook in some capacity!
such true words, we are becoming more disconnect with our innate abilities, so important to exercise our minds, our hearts, our creativity and ideas, I believe its our greatest superpower, and we need to work with it more instead of handing it over to over things to do the work for us
I love how you edited this video. Thanks for the content, it's very helpful and useful. When we first get out of bed is when we're in a really good flow state, so I usually take the first 20 minutes in the morning to write.
thank you! yes the flow state after bed is something to take advantage of and if you do, you will be rewarded
I would like to mention... One should not put a time, routine or structure when discovering themselves and the environment that we manifest on an internal and external stage. I have gone through alot of time where I am alone in a city. During these times where I am experiencing LIFE, the HERE and NOW... I tended to build these systems and routines as I have come to realize certain perspectives and different ones. With this structured approach I was soon chasing something again - but now, I have the ability to review myself thoroughly. So moral of this comment is that one should always be acting rather than debating. One should not think if they did not journal, plan or structure their day properly within the usual hours or in the morning, that doing any sort of writing would be a waste of time due to the fact that it may be to late. One should feel free! That they can and must do what is willed for them ;)
I don’t often comment on videos, but this video is touching me on a spiritual level. Thank you for sharing this.
Great video! This is also called Automatic Writing. I always do this whenever i woke up at 3-4am (i somehow always waking up at these time) i just grabbed a pen and a book, write whatever comes to mind, most of the time it was a motivational word, telling me to keep trust the divine plan for me, that theres a purpose on why im here etc. In a spiritual perspective, this is also called Downloads, where u download all the messages from your higher self/spirit guide/universe or whatever u wanna call it, directly to you. It’s always fun to read it all back what i wrote the next day because the messages always resonates. 😊
Great idea. You inspired me to buy glow pens so I can write without waking up my partner. Thanks. ( Glovion Led Light Pen, Penlight for Nighttime Writing )
@@daisy1441 oh definitely u should try I encourage u. The messages u got will surprise u ☺️
I've been finding myself doing something similar to this recently. I decided to start journaling, and while it's not very consistent, I find that a lot more is written down than I was thinking before I started writing an entry. I've been just writing down interesting moments and dreams, but have been wanting to start jotting down some random thoughts I've had, but I haven't started doing that part yet.
You’re so on point! I’ve always been journaling and it allows me the freedom “to be heard” even if it’s just me listening to me. Thanks for Julie Cameron’s book! Will get it.
Thanks dude for making this short film 🙏 have tried few times morning flow, but kept missing too many days. This planted a seed. Grateful 💫
Thanks for this video. Sometimes, i feel very tired and melancholic...and it is for me a must to continue my journaling routine, and my stream of consciousness is one of the few things that is very dear to me. It's really excellent when we begin to be with ourselves, understand ourselves and find ourselves through writing.
Yes yes, I think in our world its very easy to lose touch with ourselves, it feels like most people have never journaled or done stream of conscious writing but its so important, thank u for ur words!
I just found your channel through this video. Right now, I'm prepping for college and I'm also trying to alter my life drastically. I'm trying to change myself for the better. I'm trying to find my purpose. I've been cold for a long time. Thank you for this. I subbed immediately. Soon It's gonna be a big channel.
Wow this was incredible to read. Seriously, makes me so happy you came across here. And I am very happy to hear you are trying to do what is best. My channel is literally built for people like you. I want to share my journey so people like us can connect through what we learn. So happy you are here now, I am excited to continue making videos with this purpose. Thank you for the support!
Thank you, beautiful soul. This suggestion is a blessing ❤
Phenomenal! The answer to the unanswered. Thank you!
It is actually 3 pages every day. She recommends writing 3 pages every day as soon as you wake up. The exercise is called Morning Pages. After writing your morning pages she strongly recommends saying creative affirmations. That 20 minutes also sounds good.
This is just what I needed today. Thank you 🙏🏻
LETS GO! Thank u for the comment :)
Thank You, Tozak Filming, for creating & sharing this 🕊
Didn't know this was what I needed to see. You've earned a new follower. Keep on sharing more inspiring stuff👍🏼
Thank you for this video! I will try it out tommorow!
Yes, LETS GO! Go stream of conscious write and let the answers come out
