This week I have spent 24 hours plus drive time with my beloved eldest. Some of the chatter from her side of the conversation I thought were repetitive.
Yesterday I mentioned that these thoughts were probably going over and over themselves inside of her head all day long. She said,"I know Mom." She had been journaling quite a bit lately about the book she is re-reading, on codependency. I asked her to perhaps write these other thoughts down as well. In my on-going, sometimes sporadic morning pages (as per Julia Cameron), when I write my rambling thoughts down, sometimes they won't come back to bite me later in the day. She said she thought she could try that.
On awakening this morning, I realized that the most successful journaling I do starts with writing down my questions followed by writing with my non-dominate hand for the "answers."
Through the years I have written this dialogue with myself so often that my Higher Power and my higher self answer me so quickly that I don't even have to change hands.
I invite you to try this.
