How it’s going for me
My first struggle was the Map. I put some basic things down on the first two then when I had to add Roles and accomplishment I drew a blank and the entire life long conversation of, “you suck” came rolling forward. I had almost nothing to write and I took 24 hours, including a sleepless night, blaming myself and kicking my own ass for being a failure. The next morning I started journaling. I wrote for hours and then re-wrote my mind map lists again. I didn’t think, I just wrote. I filled pages. I found so many possessions, likes and dislikes and Roles and Accomplishments. Journaling allowed my mind to be heard. Now when I start noticing a big thought come to kick me I simply start journaling. It is such a gift and relief. Not beating myself up is a game changer. Well, not letting The Me beat me up is a game changer
That’s great, right now I am at this point and stalled trying to find a way to work through it! I will get there eventually!
Keep going. It gets better because things begin to clink in your brain. I felt funny about the first Watch Your Mind Wednesday but after a couple of them I really appreciated the time to absorb the info and even review some of the previous info. I also have finished reading book 1 and just started on book 2. The extra information is so helpful. Best wishes to you on your journey. I am enjoying this and seeing so much difference. So freeing.
