Chapter 8

Journaling And Meditation

Questions for your journaling, today:

1. When did you stop twirling? At what age do you remember life becoming not-pretty, heavy, unhappy, or laden with a distinct sense of being really self. conscious?

2. Why then? Why that age? What happened? What do you remember being said (or unsaid)?

3. Who perpetrated the action(s) or words that caused you to stop twirling?

4. Have you ever in your life said even word-one to that person?

5. Write a letter, today or this week, to that person. DO NOT send it; just write it out. Flush out the most powerful feelings you have about that event and all that followed in years afterward. Use the strongest, even most offensive language you possibly can. Express your anger, your rage, your hurt, your tears, your sorrow, your regret for not saying something sooner, perhaps. Say it all. What is the single biggest thing you want to say or have never said to this person? What is it you most want to ask this person?

6. I'm not saying you should, but would you ever speak to or confront this person? Why or why not? What is it you most fear most in doing so - their defense, their denial, or their indifference?

Meditate on this notion of smashing the hardened cement deep inside you that holds all of your negative self-beliefs. See yourself smashing it with a sledge hammer or dropping it into the most powerful acid and melting away forever. See yourself pouring gorgeous, fresh cement that you're going to press in oriented most wonderful, powerful, life-giving beliefs (which we'll add throughout the book).

Now, journal a bit more:

1. What is the biggest, GOOD thing you can possibly imagine being written into the cement of your soul? What would feel the best? Is it, "I am wonderful," "My life matters; I MATTER," "I am good and good enough," "I LOVE who I am and who I am becoming," "I believe in you," "I am wanted," "I like me. Heck, I love me," or is it something completely different? Why that phrase?

2. What is the single most negative thing you can think of that was pressed into the former cement of your soul? Are you ready to smash that belief and let it go forever?

3. What are five sentences that explain what that would feel like?

4. Who would be most excited for you to become who you really are? Who are the people who would be your biggest supporters? What is the one sentence each of those people would say in support of you (and make it different for each person)?

Song Recommendation

I have a beautiful, little ballad for you that speaks to how we stray from twirling, how life gets lost as we abandon our true selves amid the lies that get inserted into us: The Sand and the Foam, by Dan Fogelberg.
