What a wonderful idea! I always enjoy your videos. I hope you always have that inner peace. So important. Always love to see Buddy. He is getting so grown up=:) love Ya, your friend Jan
Talking about emotions in a foreign language is quite hard, at least for me. So to help you understantd the thought about the compassion, isn''t easy. It seems right to think that being compassionated (?) with yourself would help being compassionated with others, But in my case, it's the opposite, I tend to be very demanding on myself, and very empathetic with people around me. What I need to get out of my head, I wrote it on paper, wherever I am, whatever paper it is, from time to time, there's a urge to let words (thoughts) get out of me. And then I put the paper in a enveloppe in my journal. It's hidden, and there's an effort to make to get back to that thought. I love how you choose (or is it the opposite?) the red flower against your black umbrellas...
Your English is very good, Isabelle, well done, the term you used is almost right, it should read "to think that being *compassionate*" otherwise the pronunciation is perfect! I will not attempt French lol it is a great idea to write wherever you are as thoughts can come at any time can't they? Putting them in an envelope is a great idea, have you also thought of burning them? Take care and thanks for your comment ♥
@@myenchantedjournals My daughter thought of burning them. But my idea is that as negative some thoughts are or some moments are, may be I 'll want to rethink of them later, or remember that, at that point in time, I was feeling like this.Hence the possibility to read them later.
@@isabellebernard7876 I totally agree, it’s ok for me to re-read them, I just didn’t want my kids or grandkids maybe reading them! It’s a very interesting debate for sure. I have a whole box of letters (some intimate) that my grandparents wrote to each other. I almost felt like I was intruding by reading them! ❤️
I was one of those people to whom the morning pages made it worse. My late mother, disturbed by all her negative thoughts, tried that too and it made her feeling worse too, because she was always thinking about the same things over and over again. That being said, I don’t think that practice isn’t valuable. We’re all different and what works for some may not work for others. In fact, just because it works for the majority doesn’t mean it has to work for the minority. It’s the beauty of being human beings: we’re all unique. And I do love to watch you and see this is a great practice for you. I’m happy for you, Di, truly. Do you know what used to work for me? Writing letters to people I actually knew. Because I was writing to a real person who was going to answer me. Unfortunately one passed away and the other two are elderly now and not in the best condition to keep a correspondence with me and I have no one else… 🧡💙🤎💜🩵💚🩷❤️💛🩶♥️

Thanks so much Jan, always appreciate your comments
Love this idea of putting down any negative feelings then covering it up with beauty.
@@bonnie5972 thanks Bonnie, me too! It gets stuff out of my head and then I get to feel safe once it’s covered up again ❤️
I do something similar! Cool!
Thanks for letting me know, I find it helps to get it out of my head!! 😵💫
