Put Pen to Paper: How to Build Clarity and Intent.

In what my be my corniest and most old school blog post yet, today we are going to, “Tall” about the old school approach of putting pen to paper. This is a blog, a series, a therapy newsletter about intent, and getting clear about what you want, and going after it; whether it’s in dating, your relationship or personal growth.

When you do put pen to paper, your world slows down, the mind goes right to the thoughts, the feelings and the intent. There is such minimal, if any room, for the past, your frustrations, or what time do I need to leave work to get the kids to baseball practice.

To keep it real, here’s how this pen to paper approach has played out in this blog series. I write it out, I write out, what’s truly in my heart, so I can give it to you the reader. I’m a therapist, and while you all can’t sit in my therapy office for now, I can use this blog post series to give you my best; whether you are a friend reading this, or you happened to stumble across this via Google.

In my career as a therapist, I love working with clients who want to work through problems in dating, relationships, and even marriage. However I love doing this under the umbrella of helping yourself, and personal growth. I use pen to paper in this blog post to start with my intent, and my purpose to put it on paper and get it on the internet.

The bottom line, for right now is this old school pen and paper approach is not just helping me with the actual blog posts, it’s helping me get clear on the intent on each blog post, it’s an important part of a habit, a skill, I’m using to put my intent out there, and grow this business. It’s become a habit, and consistency I enjoy and use go get clear. Now, enough about me, back to you guys.

I want you to use this pen to paper approach as way more than just that old school therapy, of writing and journaling your thoughts. I want you to use this pen to paper tool to get clear on what you want, and definitely why you want it. When you do write it out, go slow, use the pen, use the paper, the motion, the feeling to slowly your mind and immerse yourself in your thoughts, and your intent.

I truly believe life is meant to be lived slowly, not consumed in phone machines, overthinking, and god knows what else. This pen to paper approach is your tool to get clear, go slow, and then plan and lie it out. Not only are you getting clear about your intent, you will enjoy that feeling of clarity. And if you can enjoy that feeling of clarity, then you can use that feeling as a tool to overcome an urge. An urge to do something that takes away from your true intent, clear mind, and goals.

So guys, you know what you want, and why you want it. Get clear with it, with some old school pen to paper, and use that feeling, emotion, clarity for the plan, and then most of all override an urge that comes along the way. Most of all use this clarity to put what you want out there.
