Day 3 Only Three Pains... why not more

In the journal exercise it says that all I need to do today is list three painful events in five minutes. Not write about them and just list them.

Gosh. I could probably list twenty or thirty in that time. Why do I only need to list three?

 

Hi, Eugene. I think it means the 3 more important painful events.

 

Ah right. Thanks for the clarification. Strangely, I wrote a long list and I do wonder whether what I think are the most painful events really actually are. Yes, there's at least one that is definitely at the root of this, but I think some of the other painful events may not be immediately apparent as they're long since buried in my subconscious.
