One of the gratitudes in my life - big one really - was journaling started in high school with an assignment from advanced English composition. It turns out it is wonderful to sound out your thoughts on paper before you share them elsewhere. Over the years have tried many methods. Whenever needed I lean into the process of timed writing where you keep writing anything without putting the pen down ….. just write whatever comes to mind. (“I think…” isn’t necessarily helpful just go for the word - no edits!!
This morning….
Hard start - body signals keep waking me hourly. Pain? Discomfort really
Breathe deeply and inhabit my body - stretch and know it.
Sigh. Thanks for taking the time. Best day…..
