Be The Plot Twist In Your Family Story - The Emotions Diary #14

We have family stories, and we have stories we invented for ourselves. But every story can be rewritten.

Let the Emotions Diary explain you, to you.

Hey there all,

A big part of undividing the world is undoing the divisions we feel in ourselves. And the Emotions Diary is an incredible tool for that. Just check out what Aleksandra had to say about it:

Maybe this week you start an Emotions Diary practice and find out what Aleksandra is talking about.

For me this week everything’s going great, I’m happy, yet there is this feeling of lurking dread. The question that came from it was this, “Why do I think this is all going to go away?”

Why? No really, why? It opened up a topic of the stories that tell us who we are. Ones from our family and ones we tell ourselves. The Emotions Diary had two amazing points:

• Your last name is not a life sentence.

• You can be the plot twist in your family (and personal) story.

Watch the video to see what the Emotions Diary had to say. Let’s get undividing…

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE EMOTIONS DIARY

Whatever you can’t figure out in your life, you can figure it out in here. The Emotions Diary is the tool for undividing yourself - understanding why you do, think, and feel the things you do.

You’ll need:

• A notebook

• A pen

• An open heart and mind

And the practice is this:

• What - Write down what’s going on in your life that you want an answer to; a persistent feeling, a bad habit, not knowing why you did something, general confusion etc.

• Ask - Let this formulate into a question. Sometimes the question itself suprises you, as in, oh yeah, that is what I want to ask. Also, you can go straight to the question if you have already know.

• Wait - Relax. Let the universe do its work. Generally an answer starts coming within seconds for me.

• Answer - Write down what it “says.” Don’t overthink, edit it, or interpret it while comes. Receive it like you’re taking dictation. Capture the tone.

  And a final note is to dwell with the answer. Feel the layers of it land in you.
