To find "Calm" exercise 5

actualy,sometimes i think i"m imaginary......an imaginary boy

Sometimes there's not a reason "why" for our feelings or emotions, but writing in the way you suggest does help me a lot when I am feeling intense emotions.

Simple exercise. I see the value in it. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks.

Excellent advice, Esther. I've done the first part of the exercise before to organize my thoughts, but had never thought of replying to myself! ;-) You're goood, girl! Bon

Good advice will have to try writing to my imaginary friend sometime.:)

Good advice I might just try it.

Thanks for this,,, some of my writings are to help us also,,,

Thanks for this tip! I think I will definitely try it!

James - You may think that you are imaginary but look at yourself in the mirror and you will soon discover that you are NOT. How could someone with such a powerful voice such as yours be imaginary?? ;)

Audrey - Many a time I wish that I had had the wisdom that I now have...Thanks!

Anya - Thanks for the comment!!

Carol - Thanks to you!!

Bonnie - You know how much I think of you too!

Christine - The writing back to your imaginerary self is in order to rid yourself of those all consuming negative thoughts and toxins in our brain!!

Susan - Thanks for dropping by!

Marie - I promise to stop by and check out your posts as well...;)

Cori - Thanks so much for dropping by and for becoming one of my new connections!!

red hair, hazel eyes, moral standing lying down, yep esther i guess your right that is me in the mirror.

Good advice, talking to yourself and answering is good too, lol

James - You never seize to amaze me...just got through reading your latest article and was left speechless; rather to sound ignorant I preferred to leave without comment...

I guess I have been living in a fog for far too long when it comes to Christianity, what can someone possibly learn from a religion that chants the same old words year after year, over and over again? Is there really a wonder why I am in the fog that is called religion in MY brain??

BTW - I am "Catholic"

and

I prefer your icon with this picture of you best. You are You, afterall...

Good advice for finding the calm. It is said of President Lincoln that he wrote messages to his generals in the field and then trash-canned them. Maybe he should have written answerws back to himself, too -- or maybe he didn't need to, I guess.

Esther, thanks for the series. Silly though they may seem the first time, these make-believe communications often get past our blocks and tell us something very definite.

And Jim Swan, thanks for the note about Lincoln. I never tire of hearing about that man.

thanks for sharing

Thank you Esther! And as I seem to have a lot of negativity I will need lots of paper! Actually I try to be as positive as I can be! It does actually seem to help most of the time! But for those more troubling negs, I will try this excercise! :)

Jim - That is so interesting about President Lincoln. How absolutely wonderful that these things that we find so new are things that have been out there for many, many years and only now do we reawaken with these discoveries for coping of old.

John - I agree, they do sound silly at first but, if you really take the time to read what is written and think about it...and how it can be used in respect to you and your life you will have discovered something useful. Thanks!

Carol - Love that dog!! Thanks for stopping by!

Demongirl - You are welcome! We all have negativity within, its in how you handle and channel it by turning all of that negative energy into the positive. I learned not too long ago that it takes far more energy to frown and think negatively than to do the opposite and feel good too. ;) The writing tablets are on their way...lol!

This is a great exercise...I'll definitely try it!

I've been through a lot in the past three years and I can say with certainty that this works

Bundy - Try it, you'll like it; such a release.

Scott - This has really helped me as well but my journaling is now going into its 29th year!! lol! ;)

Esther I used to do all the time, but never wrote back
to myself; I always balled up the letter and scored each
time I made the trash basket! Great idea yours was! I
now don't write letters because I don't need to do it
anymore. I have my Creator to talk to and I know He
listens and He does answer in different ways to help
me out of situations that arise. Thank You

esther, anytime you leave a comment on my articles, it is an honor for me to be able to read them. and you my friend are never ignorant, you are as the still waters that run deep. you are as the moon that hangs as a jewel in the midnight sky. shalom

Thanks!
