The Benefits of Keeping an Emotional Journal
The Benefits of Keeping an Emotional Journal
Recording your negative thoughts and emotional feelings daily will give you important information as to some of the pre-recorded negative thoughts, patterns and perceptions you have running at a subconscious level. Often these are family patterns and are so familiar to us that we are unaware of them. Recording them consistently will give you personal insight and valuable information.
How to Change Your Life
You will not be able to change your life until you become very clear about what you want to change. If you have strong negative feelings surface on the way to your dreams and goals, begin your clearing or release process by first recording them in an emotional journal. These emotions are important keys to your core patterns. They will also be a record of your success.
I remember compiling the negative word phrase and patterns of my sisters, and myself from our sessions and the conversations I often had with them on the phone. The end product was a “family emotional script.” It was a remarkable experience for me because when I put them all together and read the script, it was as if I was rereading my childhood story, or at least the negative aspects of my childhood story. I was surprised to see in the word phrases, that my whole family was represented; I heard my mom, dad, grandma, and grandpa. I could hear each of them in the words we spoke. This gave me very valuable information for my release and clearing work I was so actively involved in.

This writing exercise helped her prepare for her next clearing session with me, but the same exercise could be used to help prepare you for clearing session using tools such as imagery, breath-work or prayer.
How to Clear with Your Emotional Journal Script
Before you begin your clearing session, set your intention to clear all the negative emotional thoughts and patterns connected to your negative emotional script. Remember with faith, all things are possible.This is a wonderful project to do with a partner. It is often easier to see and hear the negative phrases of others than to hear our own. After your scripts are compiled you can help each other by taking each other on an imagery which will support and help you to let go of the pain of your past. You may use my simple imageries taught and introduced in my Journey to Joy Course as a template and example. Then once you become familiar with them you can change them to fit your unique needs and processing style. One of my personal favorites is the simple imagery called Letting Go. I have had much success with that imagery and all the other imageries I have used in my sessions and courses, and so have my clients.
Learn the Art of Letting Go
Letting go can be easy and so can changing your life once you have a few wonderful tried and true tools available.
