Give Your Dreams Your "Best Friend" Energy - The Emotions Diary #23
This week, I'm reminded how to support myself, like I would a friend.
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.
Thanks to all the folks to DM’ed me to say they tried the Emotions Diary out, and it worked for them. Amazing!! Please comment below and let me know what you’ve learned or how it’s going.
This week I’ve had some clarity on the way ahead, but then woke up the next day feeling anxious about it. So into the Emotions Diary I went, and out came a great lesson in supporting yourself while you chase your dreams.
You can’t ruin a path that’s meant for you.
Support yourself, with the energy you’d support a friend chasing a dream.
Also, trying a widescreen format, let me know what you think…
There’s lot of ways you can support Undividing

If you’re getting a lot out of Undividing, consider a paid subscription. You’ll support the work and new offerings I want to create. Plus it pays for Undividing readers without banking, who are houseless, vets, pensioners, and people in countries who can’t do foreign transactions.
You can also pick up a copy of my award-winning book How To Burn A Rainbow, the story of how my divorce set me off on a journey - a riches to rags rollercoaster from LA to Berlin where I had to lose it all to find myself.
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 4 things:
A notebook
A pen
An open heart
An open mind
And the practice is in 4 steps:
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 surprises you, as in, oh yeah, that is what I want to ask. Also, you can go straight to the question if you already know what you want to ask.
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.
I actually just posted a note on my Substack called “Am I missing out on life while I’m still busy building it?” — it was about that constant pull between chasing goals and feeling like life is passing by. I didn’t expect any response, just needed to get the thoughts out. But after watching your video, I feel like I got the clarity I was searching for. So relieving—thank you for sharing this.
I prefer the wide screen view. And I really like the emotions diary.
