    Thank you for sharing your emotional journal with us. I grew up to believe that anger was "un-Christian." I am currently in trauma therapy. My counselor just suggested that I keep a notebook for my feelings and experiences, during my last session. As I relive the trauma, I felt the energy in my breast and stomach area. I didn't realize how much energy was still in my body from decades of trauma. I am a breast cancer thriver and attribute the cancer to all that happened to me. Everything you shared resonated with me. Thank you❤❤❤

  • @briteddy9759
    @briteddy9759 2 месяца назад +5

    We have 150 psalms. About a dozen are imprecatory psalms. The emotions the psalmists are very raw. We don’t expect this in the Bible, but it is there. Well, that is where my thoughts went when you came to the last topic of being mad and angry. God knows how we think and feel. Nothing surprises Him, so it is ok to be honest with him. I don’t know if the psalmist made angry scratches like you, but his words were as harsh, if not harsher, than yours when he talked about his enemies.
    I liked how you reigned in your emotions in all your examples. You were honest and blunt, but then you looked at the whole picture and found the positive side also. I am not a journaler, but this was a very useful and instructive video. Thank you!
    Also, it is fine to include your belief system in your videos. Nobody is forced to watch them.

    For the interview, i was once told, by the employement center, this trick. And its the only thing that saves me honestly from dying of anxiety. The woman told me: " Always act like THEY NEED YOU! And not that you need them!"
    I swear, it is like acting, but it works, it gives me more confidence, and they are more interested in giving us a chance, cause they think " Yeah! Thats what we need!.
    I swear try it once. It shifts the vibes.❤

    I’ve never heard of anyone else who had those thoughts/worries as a young child. I would periodically stay up late at night & just make myself sick crying and worry about when my Grandma would pass (which happened when I was 20).

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this video (this is going onto the gratitude section of my journal). I watched this last night, and it really resonated with me, especially the "mad" bit. This morning, it occurred to me that I've done something similar before about my parents, who both walked out and left me (my mother when I was 11, and my father when I was 15).
    I realised I'm still carrying that around with me, and I'm now 67.
    This morning, I picked up my journal and worked out what I need to do differently, and this is what I wrote:
    "I've done something like this before but I've always felt restrained when I've done it, probably because I've always made excuses for them, thinking it was the "spiritual" or "enlightened" way.
    Well, maybe it isn't.
    Perhaps it isn't the best thing for me,
    As Robin said, forgiveness is a choice.
    I might not feel ready to forgive them now. I might not ever feel ready to forgive them.
    And that's fine."
    Thank you for helping me to realise this.❤
    I also realised that if I'm going to get angry on paper I should probably put my fountain pens aside and hunt down a ballpoint. 😁

    • @talksfromtheheart
      @talksfromtheheart  Месяц назад +1

      Oh this is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. It means so much! Your story is a horrid story of betrayal and one of worst kind! You were a child. May I suggest you not start right away with forgiveness but maybe start at the beginning writing letters to them asking why and stating how it maybe you feel and then slowly progress into all you had to deal with when they left. You may have to go through it all again before you are at the forgiveness stage.

    This was really brave of you and very real. I find journaling to be really helpful to me as I try to clear those big emotions. Since i don’t like destroying pages in my Hobonichi cousin, if there’s a page that I don’t want to see as I flip through, I use vellum or paper and washi to cover it up so I can read it if I want to but it won’t hit me in the face as I’m just flipping through. Love your videos. Thanks you ❤Sarah

    I am not religious (and have had bad experiences in the past) and the way you talk about your religion is perfectly wonderful.
    Thank you for this video, I do this already and it helps allot but I tend to dwell too much on my negative emotions when I write. For anyone else that does that I can recommend to pull it out of your notebook and screw it up and put it in the bin. Or cover it with another paper if its in a bound book. It really helps not to see the negativity when you look back.

    • @talksfromtheheart
      @talksfromtheheart  Месяц назад +1

      I’m sorry to hear that about religion for you but I have the same story. Churches and church people can be the worst! Makes me sick. So find. Your own way to God don’t write him off. He’s there and knows you and has not forgotten about you. Don’t put humans between you and him they will forever disappoint.

    Such a great video! You are so raw and honest and real!!! Thank you so much Robin!!! I relate to you ALL the time. I don't always comment. On the Cooper issue, OMG, I am right there with you. I love (and have loved) my dog (dogs) like they are humans. They are just as important to me in some cases. This July is the one year anniversary I had to put my soulmate, Bindy to sleep. She was a 16 year old Chihuahua. I cried for probably the last three years of her life because I knew it was coming. At the end she was on heart meds, and other things. It was pitiful, and I could hardly leave her to go to the store. For about a week, I knew it was coming. I am not one to make an appointment for something like that and be able to wait. I have had the same vet for 30 years. I called one morning and insisted he see me. That is how it has to be for me. I made the decision, and I have to do. I can't wait. It is just to hard knowing you have that scheduled. So we had a few hours together and snuggled, etc. At the vet, she had no clue, all she knew was that she was comfortable the entire time in my arms. That is the way I wanted it to be for her. God I miss her. I have her ashes, and a ceramic paw print, her baby blanket, collar, favorite toy, and a couple pictures on the top shelf here in my office. Anyway Robin, just know you are not crazy to love Cooper that much. It hurts bad. But the love and companionship for all the years is worth it! Honestly all the worry and crying I did for the years leading up to the actual moment prepared me. I made myself handle the day well before she passed on purpose because I wanted everything to be as normal as possible for her. As bad as grieving hurts, I will get another one when I am ready. Nothing will replace her, or be her, but I can love again. Hang in there and enjoy Cooper! He has no idea about death. He just wants your love and companionship. I am here for you if you ever do want to talk on the phone or message privately. My email is angiepayne262@gmail.com 💕

It was high conflict that lasted years through court. It’s been difficult for the kids and I financially.

    I’m at the part where you’re writing a letter on mad.

My husband is going to burn it when my time on earth is through. He said it’s a crime and wants to keep it as evidence just incase. It’s not wrong to be angry or to hate. God gave us those emotions and he himself hates. His hate is in the Bible. Most people don’t see it. We get to go through feeling this and there’s nothing wrong with it. Victim mentality is something that I also agree with you on. We are victims, but we don’t allow these things to ruin our lives for the rest of our lives. ❤we rise above.

I've recently found myself feeling discombobulated about so many things in my life...from the teeniest tiny seemingly insignificant of things to some very important and major things. I picked up a notebook on June 6th and haven't looked back. I was inspired by your tattoo and on the front I have a reminder to write like no one is reading my shit. And I have. And I am. The inner purge has been so therapeutic that I don't know why I ever stopped. So thank you for the reminder to keep going and many hugs to you as you continue your own journey🙏🏼

    Mama, to be absent on Earth is to be present with the Lord. ❤ You won’t miss us because you’ll be lying in the most luscious green grass, feeling the warmth of the sun, holding the hands with your grandma and other loved ones who have joined God before us. 💕💕 But I understand the grief we feel when we lose someone. Remember the most memorable things about them, and may your heart be warmed. ❤

    Thank you for sharing this video. Talking about death should be something we need to do more. It’s a part of life. Robin, I am so sorry that your therapist ghosted you. That’s actually illegal that she did that. My daughters did the same to her and my therapist told me how illegal it was. Please report her. I understand fear could hold you back. I’m really sorry you didn’t receive the best help when you reached out for therapy. That hurts my heart for you. The best thing we can do for ourselves is set boundaries and remove toxic narcissistic people from our lives because we love ourselves. People who have zero remorse, and no change of behavior don’t need forgiven for you to heal. My journals have been filled lately with grief I have about my physical health. I’m suffering with pain, fatigue, weakness, infections, and attack on some vital organs. There’s nothing that I can do to cure my body. I have accepted that my dx is life limiting and I’m blessed to have grandchildren as I never thought I’d see the day to experience and love them. I’m a millennial. I’m not old. I have set up a DNR and every day I wake up is a day that I’m given a chance to live. I hear you on your cooper boy. We see our pets as our children. We’ve lost 2 amazing babies when they crossed the rainbow bridge. I have an ESA kitty who is very bonded with me. I think he sees me as his cat mama and it’s helping me see that my life is worth fighting for. My therapist recommended him. I know we’ve kinda talked about this in the past with religious abuse and loving Jesus and seeing how we’ve both seen legalism and how wrong it was, but it never pushed us away from Jesus and his love and our love for him. Thank you for sharing your faith on your vids too. Congrats on becoming a grandma. My first grandchild is a girl and she was born in 2022.

Thank you for reminding me about that….and giving me more tools to live a better life. 🥰🥳🤗❤️

Every day, it helps me❤Thank you for sharing. PS Every day, I choose a different fountain pen. Small things bring joy

    Thank you for sharing everything. You said to comment and just this very day I told my granddaughter that her feelings are her feelings, and people shouldn't try to tell anyone how to feel, but that what you DO with those feelings is what counts. (And is the hard part, like YOU said!) Journaling is definitely a great outlet for some of us, and a good way of working out or dealing with those feelings. It might not work for everyone, but whoever watches your whole video must be searching for answers and I'm sure you HAVE helped others with your philosophy and ideas. Thank you for braving the criticism and being REAL, Robin!

    I watched until you started journaling about Cooper. It’s been 11 years since my little dog crossed the rainbow bridge. I had several dogs since that dreaded June 21, 2013, but my heart is still broken from my little dog. She was and still is my soul mate, the love of my life. I understand your sorrow. Big hugs to you and Cooper.

    Thank you, Robin, for doing this. I hope it was as healing for you as it is for us. I’m a true believer in the powerful benefits of journaling ❤️. Feelings are not wrong, they’re just feelings. For me, writing in my journal is often like talking with God, and He does not want us to hold back. Read Job if you’re not sure about that. Feelings can come unbidden-it’s what we do with them that matters. You’ve been through so much, and still you have love and a big smile & laughter to share. I am grateful & pray for your well-being. 🙏🏼💕

    Oh Robin I so so so understand all of these feelings like you I have twin Pomeranians that I adore and I have no clue how I will cope without either of them BUT I have lost a companion pet before and even gave him tattooed on my arm. But like you say being present is the bedding we must give ourselves. Then the next topic was grandchild. Tomorrow I am travelling 29 hours on three different planes from Australia to Pittsburgh to visit my oldest boy and of course my amazing cheeky funny loving nearly 3 year old grandson. They truely are an absolute blessing what’s even better is watching your own child become a parent and how they are with their child. Enjoy the process and don’t worry your granddaughter already loves you and you will the absolute best grandmother. I turned 60 yesterday and boy the anxiety and joy all at once was a little overwhelming. I have journaled a lot and you are absolutely right the paper doesn’t talk back and once it is on paper it’s out of your head. Bless you and thank you for bringing this video to life. Love your work and your right in saying ‘always enjoy today’. 🩷

    Congratulations on being a grandma!!! I'm not a baby person and I too worried so much about how I would be. She's 2 yrs old now and man what a special relationship. I live far away so it's challenging but you get creative. I kept a journal for my granddaughter where I wrote her every week as we counted down to her birth and through her first year. I can't wait to give it to her one day.

    Thank you Robin for this video. I really want to journal my thoughts on paper but my thoughts could be damaging to the ones I love. My frustrations with my kids are the biggest issue for me. I would never want them to read about how I'm feeling about their behavior or my disappointment. How do you journal without worrying about that person reading it someday when your dead? Or even when your alive?

      I totally understand. When I feel protective over my written words, I write it out and then I either write the next lines right over what I just wrote, so by the end it kinda looks like scribble, or I write my words and I paint over the words with some acrylic paint. I also enjoy mixed media journals so I will tear pieces of these papers… either scribble or painted, and glue them down in my art journal.
