Writing & Clarity
What I have found that writing is essential to clarity.
By writing out my thoughts, I have to construct the thought into something another person can recognize, even if that other person is future me.
The other benefit of writing out my thought is I am free of that thought. I formed that thought coherently outside of my head that I can reference later if I want that thought again. This frees up space for more thoughts.
When I stopped writing, this is what I missed the most: freeing thoughts from my mind. By having fewer thoughts in my head, I gain clarity.
For me, this clarity is so important in moving forward with life.
