 Practical Writing Exercise: Confronting What You Least Want to Think About

Objective: This exercise is designed to help you identify and face the thoughts, emotions, or situations you’ve been avoiding. By bringing them into your conscious awareness, you’ll begin to reduce the power they have over you.

Instructions:

  1. Find a Quiet Space: Choose a quiet place where you can write without interruptions. Get comfortable and set a timer for 20-30 minutes to give yourself enough time to dive deep into the exercise.

  2. Start with a Prompt: Write a simple statement at the top of your page:
    “The thing I least want to think about is…”

  3. Allow Yourself to Feel Resistance: As you begin writing, you may feel an urge to avoid or escape certain thoughts. This is normal. Acknowledge the resistance you feel but continue to write anyway. Let your pen move even if you don't want to put your thoughts on paper. Don’t censor yourself.

  4. Describe the Thing You Avoid: Dive deeper into why you avoid this particular thought, emotion, or situation. What exactly makes you afraid to face it? How does it make you feel when you think about it? Write about it in as much detail as possible—be honest with yourself.

  5. Uncover the Fear: Once you've described the thing you're avoiding, ask yourself:
    “What am I really afraid of here?”
    Write about the underlying fear. Is it fear of failure? Fear of judgment? Fear of loss? Write freely without judgment.

  6. Reframe Your Perception: Now that you’ve named the fear and identified what you're avoiding, ask yourself:
    “What might happen if I stopped avoiding this and allowed myself to confront it?”
    Write about the potential benefits of facing this issue. How might it change your life? What freedom might you gain?

  7. Challenge the Avoidance: Finally, write a statement of affirmation:
    “I choose to face this truth, no matter how uncomfortable, because I am stronger than my fears.”
    Say this to yourself and write down any other positive, empowering thoughts that come to mind. Reflect on how confronting this fear could empower you to grow.

  8. Close with Gratitude: End your writing session by listing three things you're grateful for, no matter how small. This will help ground you and remind you of the good in your life, even as you face difficult truths.

Optional Follow-Up:

  • Revisit this exercise regularly, especially when you notice you’re avoiding thinking about something. Over time, the act of confronting these fears will become easier, and you will notice yourself growing in self-awareness and confidence.

By completing this exercise, you begin the journey of reclaiming your power by actively confronting the things that hold you back. The goal is not perfection, but progress: each time you face something you least want to think about, you break free from the illusion of avoidance and move closer to living authentically.

  “The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim. An individual in a crowd is a grain of sand amid other grains of sand, which the wind stirs up at will.” - Gustav Le Bon (The Crowd) “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” - Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 5:5) Moore v.
