    I'm on day 3 and this has been... I can't even explain how helpful it's been. I've been grieving and my meditation alone just isn't cutting it. But this combined with my meditation has been a game changer. I've been doing it 3 times a day (cause I need that right now), and it's amazing so far.
    I'm excited to keep this up and see who I become down the road.

      @David-uc4hc Год назад +17

      UPDATE:
      I'm over a week in. Still doing it about twice a day. It's still very helpful. What I've noticed is that if I get disregulated during the day, I can calm myself back down by remembering how meditation felt when I was regulated. This works even at work.
      Also I've noticed ADHD type symptoms at work has lessened. I wasn't expecting that, but this is a big win.
      In general, I'm feeling much more present in my life. This is very exciting!

    You know what's an interesting point I'd never thought of before? The thing about needing to repeat a phone number over and over if you have nowhere to write it down...and conversely, if you can just write it down, then you have no need to keep thinking about it.
    1. It really does emphasise the power and purpose of writing things down and getting them out, and
    2. It shows that, by repeating something in your mind over and over, it will stick. For something like a phone number, that's useful. But for repetitive damaging self-talk and negative or fearful thinking, it's destructive!
    I seriously LOVE your channel! I'm SO going to try your technique, starting tomorrow! (it's 2.30am now. lol)

    Monday night I got so dysregulated even though it was a quiet part of the evening I started getting heart palpitations and then a very rapid heart rate. I went to the ER. I wound up in the hospital for three days trying to get to the reason of the heart incident even as far as a diagnostic heart cath. Fortunately everything is clear and my heart is perfectly fine. I let my stress and depression get way out of control. In the past I have had attacks like and my heart fine. Stress and depression really needs help and healing. It can take it out on your body. I had gotten lax on the daily practice. I let so much build up in me. DISCLAIMER: to anyone who thinks they are probably really ok if they are having heart symptoms, don't brush it off! Get to the hospital right away!!! I was blessed. It does not mean you will have the same experience!!! I am going to take a break from watching and listening to things that can be stressful, and concentrate on my mental health and wellbeing.

      It is. What has been liberating to me is compassion, in the purest form I can. No other perception has helped as much with the same distressing thoughts you describe. I just look around and let sympathy for others arise and be present. It doesn't solve everything, the fears are still here - the endless imagining of adverse circumstances. Compassion and gratitude make it somewhat easier for me. Sharing with a heart of love. We must all pass eventually. Glad to have shared this moment with you lovely people.

    I needed this video yesterday! I was writing the whole time you were talking. "It's a spiritual program of action." Prayer and writing with pen & paper are both actions. Ruminating (I call it spinning my wheels and going nowhere...FAST) isn't a action. It keeps me stuck and unable to focus on what the best next step is in that moment.

    My favorite way to get rid of the paper has been to tear it out sheet by sheet, and then rip it up into bits by hand; today I added to this by visualizing my fears and resentments being removed from my brain as I tore them up physically. It's so very cathartic!
    Admittedly, I'm a stationary lover, so I do dedicate specific notebooks for Daily Practice writing. I just make sure the paper's not too fancy and is the kind that will tear out well 😁

    Hi crappy childhood fairy...I've been watching your content for at least a year and Its helped me tremendously to understand my life partner....and myself and how our individual childhoods created a toxic dynamic that neither one of us ever wanted any part of. Everyone wants a fun healthy sexual realasionship and naturally expects love, respect and to feel emotionally safe but not many people truly understand theirselves or the people we bond to untill AFTER we open our hearts to another person....which in my personal experience leads to more abuse and trauma. Since I've started watching your channel my relationship has improved and is not abusive or toxic...and it's not cuz my partner started your program or even watched any of your videos....it's cuz I have become more mentally aware ( mindfull) of correcting my inner critic with antidotal thoughts, I've gotten better at focusing on truth rather then ruminating on dark thoughts and I've stopped allowing my dark thoughts to drive my behaviors and instead do my best to focus on problem solving. What you said in this video resonates with me because ever since I was a teenager when something bothered me I would always naturally just put pen to paper and pour out all the negativity on paper and it would always make me feel better and when I was done with those dark thoughts I would just throw that paper away and all those dark thoughts away along with it and I still do that but it's in an e-log now that I just delete when I'm ready to let go of negativity. But my point is I want to just thank you so much for the videos and content that you contribute to the world because the world needs this kind of content so badly and I want to thank you for sharing your personal experience with the world because if my partner could have time to watch your videos and apply your methods I think he would have a lot of improvement in his own body in his nervous system and he would be able to regulate himself much easier.

    This video has come at the perfect time! I got as far as buying notebook paper, buying a binder to store the paper, signing up for and watching/reading your free course on how to do it, and then ... stalled. No problem with writing fears and resentments, but the sign-off doesn't resonate. Because things that are repetitive/by rote aren't helpful for me, and yes, it does remind me of 12-step programs. How can I get past this?
    I know I'm not capable of meditating for 20 minutes at this point, but that I can simply reduce down to 5 minutes, which I can do, and work my way up. So that's not a hurdle.
    I have fear unless I do this exactly the way you've laid it out, it won't work.
    I have fear that then I'll never be able to overcome and heal this.

      I don’t know if this is helpful, but I have been changing my sign-off each time, just slightly, so that it doesn’t feel rote to me. Perhaps you can try out different sign-offs until you find one that feels right to you? I don’t think it has to be perfect the first time, as long as you are taking positive steps toward your healing. My sign off from last night was simply that “I give myself permission to release these fears and resentments so that I may rest.” I hope you won’t think this presumptuous. I am rooting for you! 💛

    What a blessing! God bless you Richly for sharing this technique, and for all of your videos. I am 46 and I have never had any counseling for trauma that I experienced in my teenage years.
    Disregulated sounds like "Thee word" to describe how I feel. I feel like I am not normal. I have felt "not normal" for as long as I can remember. Thats the only way I have known how to describe how difficult life is for me... mentally. "Im not normal"
    How do I find a qualified person to seek therapy from. Im finally willing to talk to someone. This "disregulation" is going to steal my whole life if I dont. Please advise :(

Not being able to explain why things that come naturally & easily for others, at times, seem Extremely Difficult for me... caused me to just stay away from ppl and be miserable all alone.
      I pray that one day, I will be a whole person whom God will use to be a blessing to others... which is Exactly what He's doing with You! What a Joy it must be to your heart, knowing that you are helping ppl like me who just feel out of place, and out of whack all day everyday.

    Anna, you have no idea how badly I need this video. I will make time to put what's on my mind down on paper, holding back nothing, I promise, but I just have to tell someone.
    Last week i found out my brother's wife is pregnant with his first child. The info has thrown me through a very big hoop and I've been crying and pretty dysregulated since finding out.
    My brother and I are children of kind, decent but v. dysfunctional parents, whose drama and fighting when we were growing up left us both with different degrees of (undiagnosed) CPSTD. He's just turned 40 and I'm 45.
    Being the elder child, and my mum's main confident and counsellor from an early age, I came off worse. My mum got formal counselling in mid-life after a breakdown, and changed dramatically for the better .My dad never has, but they never divorced, as I was sure they would.
    I think their relationship scared the sh*t out of us kids, because it's taken my brother this far in to an 8 yr relationship to marry again and reproduce, despite pressure from his other half.
    Although I like kids, I had no desire to have any, and haven't yet married.
    I can't work out what exactly is going on, but this news has activated something in me. I've had a lot of talking therapy in the past, which has given me very little relief or healing, but much useful insight in to my own and my family's behaviour. My brother hasn't. Since he left home he's whitewashed my dad as a perfect parent (which he wasn't at all), and done a kind of mental erasure on our shared history. Like my dad, he's very successful compared to me, and he's basically a 'chip off the old block'. We aren't close, as he's changed beyond recognition since leaving home - but not in a good way. This woman, his 2nd wife, isn't total bitch, but she's not a kind person, and money is almost everything to her. Believing that they knew each other well enough through work, where they met, they moved in together within weeks of dating, before his divorce had even properly commenced! There were many red flags early on for them, and at one point they had a big disagreement over money (which he now denies the extent of), and he actually wanted to get out, but lacked the courage to be single. To my disbelief, he seems to have Crap-fitted himself to the situation, and somehow made it work to this point in time. He's never seemed 100% sure about the relationship, but suddenly proposed to her last autumn, and now there's a baby coming.
    I don't know if I'm scared that my tightly buttoned-up brother is going to make history repeat, or scared because I know it's going to push buttons in him that he doesn't even know he's got, or simply sad deep down because i didn't have a child myself, and don't want my own buttons pushed. I'm just sitting here watching this video, full of gratitude for its contents, but with tears gushing down my face and a great need to tell someone how bad I feel before I burst.
    Sorry everyone, for over-sharing, but there's literally no one in my life who can 'hold space' for me right now, and I can't really speak to even my mum about the full extent of my feelings because, although she has grave misgivings about the situation, she's telling me we've got to try to 'make the best of it'. I feel bound and gagged, and haven't even congratulated him yet. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

    I want to thank you. I started your daily practice and it is helping. I am going to keep doing it. I always wondered why going to a therapist would trigger me so bad. I am in a 12 step codependency program which is helping me to learn how to reparent myself. I definitely like your way of writing it down and asking my higher power to remove these fears and resentments. Letting go to my higher power. Meditation helps a lot. Then getting rid of the writing as not to retrigger myself.

    (Toni here) I love the simplicity of your system, Anna. And it gave me Hope, which has been severely lacking in my life of late. I did this practice twice a day for 5 days and never felt any relief. I cried hard each time and was left feeling resentment and anger for the rest of the day. Just having to focus enough on my feelings to be able to write them down (and I tried to be succinct and not to linger, I promise!), I was further triggered when I had hoped and expected to feel at least a noticeable bit better.
    Is there any kind of “trick” or tweak that might help me? Or is this reaction to be expected sometimes? I’m feeling so disappointed in myself and quite lost and hopeless.

    I dud the practice for a couple of weeks. One thing I noticed was that I became focused on my fears, bad feelings throughout the day. So I made a modification. Instead of writing down just my fears and resentments, I would write down all my latent feelings and thoughts, facing the powerful or bad ones and also the good ones. Just making visible and rearranging them. Helped me to stay grounded, not swept away.
