Day 8 Recognizing emo...

Q: Are you having success at recognizing the emotions connected to your pain? If you have, how do these emotions make you feel? If not, what do you think is preventing you from doing this?

Managed to list down some emotions that likely contributed to my pain but I am not sure is the list exhaustive (or my over-analyzing brain is thinking too much). Some of my past especially childhood seems mild to the "adult me" now, but after journaling and looking backw, these emotions did impact me greatly especially in shaping my personalities; people-pleaser/goodist, perfectionist , uncomfortable to display my emotions freely.

Hi, npoise. I believe you will benefit greatly from that letter you wrote to yourself. I hope you kept a copy so you can read it every day. If not, write another one. Maybe even create a mantra about it. The more you forgive the past and anyone associated with feelings of anger, the faster and better you will heel. Try to modify those traits of perfectionism and goodism.

 

haha. I wrote HEEL but meant HEAL.

 

It's ok, I got you Thanks.
