What does it look like

In my journey to getting back to me I have tried the following, draw it, write it.

Yesterday I sat down and drew my emotions. I grabbed a green crayon and a blank piece of paper. I took three breaths for four seconds in and four seconds out.

Then I took to the paper like it was the story of my life. My end result was erratic scribbles across the page it was chaos it was not ordered it was a reflection of my mind, it was me.

The second page I drew what I want my emotions and life to be. It was even divided into segments. I want this to be me. Ordered, all parts of my life balanced and nurtured.

I then isolated the dominant feeling I have and drew anger. To sit and imagine what anger looked like and to draw it was really liberating. It felt like the first time in a long time I could sit with anger, I could visualize it and identify it. I could be with it in a calm moment. It felt like it existed, but not consuming me in that moment,

I then drew an image of how I would deal with anger. It was fun liberating and creative.

This exercise it simple but empowering in a way that lets you isolate your feelings and recognize them and gain perspective on where your head is at.

The other powerful exercise you can do is to write write a letter of your current feelings. Write everything that is raging a battle in you, the stories, the situations, the feelings the hurt. Write for as long as you need. Then wait till the evening and take your writing outside and burn it. As you light it say an affirmation regarding the letting go of the words on the paper. Watch it go up and disintegrate. Let it fragment and let go.

I hope these exercises can help you on your journey to healing as they have me.

So bye for now; me xx
