If you find yourself needing to take a pill everyday due to headaches this post is for you!

Journal Questions Prompts:

1.       What will it take to alleviate some of the stress I'm feeling?

2.       What fears and pressures am placing on myself that are not even legitimate?

3.       What am I resisting? What will it take to open up to the process of life?

4.       What will it take to trust that everything is going to work out?

5.       Is the effort I am putting forward worth the stress it is causing me?

7.       What am I trying to be the boss over that I need to just let go of?

8.       What value is there in continuing to feed my insufficiencies? What will it take to change my internal dialogue to include a loving and kind attitude toward myself?

9.       Who do I need to forgive for hurting my feelings so I can feel better?

10.   What ideas and information am I receiving that are incompatible with what I want to create?

11.   What feelings am I trapping inside? What will it take for me to voice them in an effective way?

12.   What will it take to remove myself from the chaos I perceive is happening to me and settle it as an observer as ever rather than the participant.

How to be effective with your journaling:

·         Choose the question that most stands out to you for your journal writing.

·         Set a timer for 20 Minutes

·         In that 20 minutes write down everything that comes to mind (emotions, thoughts, beliefs, facts, what you want to do, what you did, what happen, how it made you feel, etc.)

·         This journal is for you and you only. No one else needs to read or see it.

·         Once the 20 minutes is up take another 5-10 minutes to reflect on the journal. What did you learn, What is in your control, what can you do next time to make the situation better, who do you need to talk, etc.

·         Allow yourself to sit with whatever emotion or thoughts come up

·         After words delete, shred, burn, throw away the journal.

Mind-Body Connection:

When we do not knowledge our emotions, they do not simply go away. They become suppressed and cause physical pain or illnesses. We as humans believe it is more socially acceptable to be in physical pain than to express our true emotions. We tend to feel uncomfortable if we have any other emotions besides joy and happiness. Therefore our thoughts and feelings become physical rath then emotionally expressed.

TMS (Tension Myoneural Syndrome) discovered by Dr. John Sarno

TMS is lack of oxygen rich blood supply- when we are stressed, we hold our breath and tighten our muscles to suppress any emotion or thoughts. Doing so we cut off oxygen to our blood system and the extremities of our body start to lack oxygen rich blood cells.
