Happy I saw this post today. I think the Emotions Diary can be a great benefit for me. Thank you, And a nod of appreciation for the Karate Kid reference.
For sure Dove. I’m often surprised at the Emotions Diary refs. I had to look one up one day. Didn’t know what it was. Still not sure where it all comes from, but glad it found me. And remember, wax on, wax off… ;)
Thanks so much for this! Your work is super helpful and super necessary in these times. I published my first Substack piece this week, which is (among other things) about how people tend to respond to times of greater uncertainty with demands for more certainty. Often our refusal to embrace uncertainty contributes to our greater suffering. Please check it out!
I think I just forwarded you my post- I only published one post on here so far. Anything else you might have seen was just a note. Thanks for checking it out

I just love your emotions diary process. Thank you for going through the explanation as it applied to your own current situation. It’s very deep.
Going to share one of my favorite poems by Rumi:
The Guest House
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Jellaludin Rumi,
Love Rumi!

I’ve just written those 4 steps in my journal. I will follow that structure today and see what happens.
Nice one Karen.
