The System Living Between the Tip and the Surface
Each of our upbringings varies in cultural practices, religious beliefs, mindsets, directions, acceptable behaviors, and levels of education.
As we become adults, many learn various economic survival or success systems, and how to deal with legal troubles or difficult situations in general.
But what happens when those systems stop working?
What happens when you're working as hard as you are only to find yourself in extreme dissatisfaction or burnout with no plausible solution to change the situation?
What if the answers you're looking for are already staring you in the face?
Worse yet, what if you intuitively know the answers exist, but for whatever reason, you can't see them no matter what you do?
Writing by hand is the system that lives between the tip of your writing utensil and the surface you're about to mark up.
Dear Scribbler
Q. How is writing by hand a tool of self-discovery and problem-solving?
A. Even intending to write by hand starts generating the energy and momentum you need to create a new future and solve your current problems.
Acting on that intention with the small act of placing the writing utensil directly onto the surface of what you intend to write on makes the intention a reality.
Before I get too far into this, I want to stop there.
Pick up a writing utensil and place it on a surface. Just that action alone. Don't scribble. Don't write.
Don't do anything but hold the tip of the writing utensil on the surface.
Do you notice, now in this moment, you feel different?
Try it again.
Lift up the writing utensil and put it back on the surface, slower if necessary. Can you feel something starting right before they touch?
There's a gap right there. That gap is literally gathering the energy you're creating.
Please notice. Please catch this.
The energy you're creating.
It's coming directly from YOU.
With every breath you take, you have more power within you than every byte of false advertising, false beliefs, lies, doubt, and crushed dreams that ever existed.
Your intentions generate this energy.
Your actions purposely direct that energy into something you create.
Can any enemy actually stop you from creating an intention and, in some way, shape, or form, mentally or emotionally acting on that intention?
Writing by hand and scribbling in all its forms physically directs that energy at that moment to start changing everything.
As you write, permit yourself to allow the thoughts to come, without force, in whatever order they appear. Write them down. Write about your perspectives, your feelings, your anger, your dreams, and your pain.
All of it.
When you're done, you're going to start feeling better. Relief comes.
In that relief, you can let go, even if you didn't feel like you came up with the solution you needed.
Once you feel this relief, circuits in your brain aren't botched up by pent-up energy. Now they're free to start making connections between the data that's already there. Those connections within you lead you to another piece of your puzzle.
Repeat the writing process each time you're stuck (just getting it all out without expectation). Each time you're removing clutter from your mind, releasing stuck energy, and literally propelling yourself forward.
Here's another secret:
The movements are sometimes so small in this process, and because we are so close to everything we touch, we don't recognize participation in this process as an actual movement.
Every mark you make is proof you're moving in a new direction.
Don't you want to be aware of and in control of that direction?
Writing by hand (in all its variations and flavors) helps uncover the actual problems you're facing and, often, the solutions we need to fix them.
One Line
One-liners are sentences meant to prompt your memories and stimulate your creativity. Use them, if you want, to see what your brain comes up with. Do you see an image in your mind, feel something, remember something?
Whatever it is, start writing it down. There's no right or wrong answer. 🥳
The fuzz on the tips didn't move as the wind blew.
