Oh hell no! Because it's stream of conscious it's very, very personal 😂

But whatcha gotta do is set a fixed goal (time or pages - I recommend pages) and then write down everything that comes to mind without judgement or fear. Sometimes, when I'm having a dark day, the first page is just me complaining and moaning. But for three pages? It's hard for the brain to get stuck in that rut for so long so it starts exploring solutions, options, or simply other things.

Give it a go! Don't stop writing for three pages, don't worry about quality, reader, or anything! Just write whatever comes into your brain. Like meditation it takes practice but is well worth the results (imo).
