I just wanted to see where my mind would take me with a little stream of consciousness/word association/divergent thinking activity. Looking back on the series of words I formulated, I can tell that my mood and the events I dealt with throughout my day certainly influenced where my mind went. It is difficult to objectively look at one word and determine what comes to mind without being biased toward a word that you relate strongly to. Perhaps even when you let your mind wander as freely as possible, it still flows in the best direction for you to let out your stress, fears, and anxiety. It is therapeutic because your mind allows you to get out whatever you have been keeping in.
