T.E.D Was Pissed With Me This Week - Self-Limiting Beliefs - The Emotions Diary #10

And fair enough, I was being too hard on myself.

Hey there all,

Tuesday this week in Undividing, I shared a prompt in the Undividing Ourselves section that we could use in The Emotions Diary this week.

Why Do I (insert limiting behaviour here)?

So I did that. And T.E.D. read me for filth. But it was great advice.

• Cut yourself a break.

• Stop focusing on the finish line

It asked me to let go of an old script, and cast myself in a new role, against type.

And if you’re new to the Emotions Diary, the instructions are down the bottom.

Let the Emotions Diary explain you, to you. Let’s get undividing…

Would you like to buy me a coffee?

Undividing is my gift to the world. The biggest way you can pay me, and everyone, is by putting things you learn here into action in yourself and in the world.

That said, I would also appreciate your financial support to keep it going. A paid subscription is like buying me a coffee a month. And you get four Undividing newsletters and four Emotions Diaries. It’s a deal, it’s a steal.

Or if you just want to help out with buying me a single coffee, that would be amazing too. I take mine black, no sugar.

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.
