Day 17 Most helpful things

Honestly it's not the program itself but the people in the community that serve as the biggest help. I get more benefit from reading stories from people who have had similar experiences to me or just talking to people here. I have developed a couple of solid connections outside of the main forum.

As for the program itself, I have preferred the journaling here to previously doing free journaling via JournalSpeak, in that there are varying times and styles in the program here as opposed to a steadfast 20 min a night that I can't always hit. I do still practice meditation after journaling per Nicole's method even if the program doesn't call for it just because it is a settling practice for me for my anxiety.

 

Day 17! Go girl! Woot woot!

 

I couldn't agree more, clearly different tools are going to work for different people so I am also finding trying different styles of Journaling really useful - especially the unsent letter. Doing that in the 3rd person to some of my personality traits was a real eye opener and helped me see how bloody horrible I could be to myself. I also echo your thoughts on the community. It feels so safe in here which make being vulnerable so much easier.

 

Dee,
You’re killing it with the journaling unsent letters. A great example to all of us! ❤️

 

Yes, regarding the unsent letters. I forgot about it but it helped me in the past. I'll use it more in the future. Thanks for reminding me. So many good things/tools that I forgot about...this mind forgets...I need to make some notes in my journal about all these things. I usually do but sometimes - I forget.

I appreciate the community as well, there is always a new great idea that someone has...and that is helpful. I also appreciate the sharing, and the open hearts. It's a compassionate group of people here...I can tell...and I appreciate the vibes. Everyone is different, yes, but each one has good intentions.

Thank you!

 

❤️ love you, Sita!
