Stress is toxic for your body and spirit, so by approaching your troubles with fun and a little uncivilized creativity, you are giving your messy humanity the sweet medicine of some feral self-care.
Practice Freewriting
To engage in purposeless creativity is a beautifully productive thing. If people released the idea that our creations have to be palatable or for public consumption, everyone would be free to tap into that dimension of themselves more fully. Sometimes I like to conceptualize this by placing my sense of self outside of the rest of reality: If I were the only human being on this planet, outside of any civilization or influence, how would I approach creation? How would I allow creative expression to flow if the only metric of success available was personal fulfillment?
One tool that is very beneficial for tapping into this stream of raw creativity is freewriting. Freewriting is the act of simply writing without a specified topic or purpose and letting what comes out, come out! Freewriting allows the subconscious, intuition, and whatever else (the creative muse, perhaps?) to come through and take the wheel. In many cases, it can act as a valuable window, showing you what may be lurking in the depths of your animal brain when logic and purpose are kept out of the equation. In many cases, it can also act as a form of release. For example, when freewriting, you may find yourself channeling difficult emotions or hashing out internal problems that you are grappling with.
From a feral self-care perspective, freewriting is not only valuable for embracing undeveloped creative impulse but can also help give you the opportunity to sift through the mental clutter thatâs specific to the modern world. For most, life is filled with multiple competing priorities. There is a near-constant barrage of things to think about, responsibilities to carry out, problems to solve, and the random flashes of ideas and opinions that noisily intrude into the corners of awareness. In addition, there is also the mental noise that accumulates from your interactions with other people and engaging with endless streams of content online. This creates a cacophony of chaos thatâs loud in both an energetic and mental sense.
With all of this input, it can be difficult for you to hear and connect with yourself. Your intuition, your desires, the wisdom of your animal body. So you are tasked with the challenge of finding ways to tap back in, in order to get back to a space of balance. Freewriting can allow you to take on this challenge while also tickling that human instinct to create just for the sake of it.
