A Quick Fix for Overwhelm or a Block

Use this exercise for when you're feeling overwhelmed or blocked.

When there are too many thoughts... or none at all... because either of those are a hard place to create and grow from.

Start by sitting with a blank page and something to draw with.

Draw big lines across it the page.

Wavy. Straight. Intersecting. Fill the page with them.

You’re not making something pretty. You’re making space.

Then start writing along the lines and inside the shapes that the lines created.

If you've never done free-writing before, you can start by writing: “This is dumb and I don't want to do it, but…” or “I don’t know what to say, but…”

And then just keep going.

Make space for the thoughts and feelings that are inside of you to come out.

Don't force them, just let them come out on the page.

As you write, you can flip the page around and write upside-down.

Fill in the shapes that the intersecting lines created.

Feel the freedom of being able to put anything you need to write anywhere you want to write it. Not because it makes sense, just because you want to.

Then, when you're feeling complete with the writing part, start to doodle.

Draw patterns around the words, make little marks or pictures. We start with drawing and we end with drawing because things end up making more sense when you don't try to make them make sense...

The drawing part gets to feel fun and/or contemplative. Rest in the experience of turning what could be a confusing tangle of feelings if you'd left it in your head, and turning it into something useful and maybe even beautiful.

Why this matters (especially for your brand): If you feel stuck, you’re probably gripping too tightly to something you don't need to control.

This exercise is about loosening up that grip and that control, so that clarity can flow. I am 100% confident that something that comes out of this exercise, and out of your head, is going to be a surprise.

And that element of surprise is MAGICAL. It's the knowledge and wisdom inside of you that your fears and overthinking gets in the way of.

Trust it. Follow it. That wisdom is what gets to lead your growth and your brand.

BUT WAIT!! You didn’t do this to just stick it in a drawer!

You did it because something in you needed it.

This is usually the moment people say, “Huh, that was interesting,” and then go make themselves busy again. Don’t do that.

In a Brand Breakthrough Session, we can take what you uncovered and untangle it together. No pressure. Just clarity. The kind of clarity that actually changes things for the better.

If you’re feeling that little nudge that says there’s more here… follow it.
