Vigilance Is A Gift

- Your brain is wired to predict problems which can lead to either spiraling or brilliance depending on management.
Redirect Overthinking Through Writing
- Use daily writing to redirect your brain's vigilance toward constructive creativity.
- Focus your overthinking energy into solving actual story problems, not imagined threats.
Survival Wiring Is Creative DNA
- Hypervigilance arises from survival instincts triggered by trauma, rejection, or sensitivity.
- These sharp instincts are meant to serve a greater creative purpose, not keep you stuck in fear.
