Love On The Streets Of Italy - The Emotions Diary #28

This week I got a great lesson in what to do when love works out.

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. The instructions for how to do The Emotions Diary are down the bottom of this email every week.

Are you enjoying the Emotions Diary? Is it helping you make sense of the world and yourself? If so, consider taking out a paid subscription. We’ll be doing live workshops twice a month for paid subscribers.

This week I’m in Sardinia off the coast of Italy. And it’s an amazing and much needed break.

Last week’s Emotions Diary - Families roles and costumes we’ve outgrown

After last Thursday’s T.E.D. I spent five days with greater and lesser success at not falling into old roles and costumes with my parents. That took some turns I wasn’t expecting. And it’s going to become the first Undivding I write on the 17th—it’s all about the families.

Last Night’s Undividing Live

From Wednesday 18th June I’m going to do lives every Wednesday as part of paid subscriptions. Last night’s was a great one where I defined undividing and when something has become undivided—and it’s not about winning anyone to your side. Check out the Live from last night for this and more as people who tuned it asked questions and offered comments.

Twice a month the lives will be Emotions Diary workshops where we do them together and you can share whatever your comfortable with; let’s all learn from each other and our diaries about how we’re wired inside.

Wednesdays (from 18th June) / 8-9 pm Berlin / 7-8pm UK / 2-3pm NYC / 11am -12 noon LA.

This week’s Emotions Diary

T.E.D. isn’t just for negative emotions. This week I was exploring love. This new kind of love I have with Erik, but wanting to bottle it and hold onto it. Which of course, is fear talking. The Emotions Diary had thoughts…

• Don’t bottle it, drink it.

• It’s just your favourite version of your love, till the next one.

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.
