Oh my God this is so true. To do lists really do make you feel better; you're right. I'm thinking back, and it does make you feel empowered. I remember one very specific time when I was in a really scary place financially. I had to make so much money in the next week. I was terrified. I sat down with a piece of paper and wrote down how much money I needed for what by which date. I felt capable. And I felt brave for facing it.

I'm also a huge fan of writing. Although, I'm a fan of typing actually. It can come out faster. I know that slowing down is also beneficial, too. It does feel more intimate, doesn't it?
