Hi Jo,

 

I've been posting on this board for a few weeks now, and all of a sudden all these cool people decided to come back.  I'm still on Chapter 4 of Self Matters.  It's becoming a running joke.  Did you read Dr. Phil's Self Matters, and if so, how long did Chapter 4 take you?  LOL!  The issue is I love to write.  I'm writing down way too much detail, but I can't stop.  I actually enjoy the process Dr. Phil laid out for finding your authentic self.

I spent a lot of time journaling my emotions and feelings .. I allowed myself to express them on paper because I realized that Self Matters was triggering so many thoughts.  I'm glad I did.  I realized I just needed to "select" one non-working area in my life and just focus on that .. but continue to write down everything.

I still do that ...  and take as long as it takes. When I finally sat down and read it, I was in a mental crisis in my life.  We all read and do this book the way we need to.  That you finally left Chapter 3 is awesome.  It really triggered my thinking and I had to keep reminding myself to just read the entire book from front to back and then come back and spend the time.  I get lost in thoughts and memories .. that's why it took me so long to finally to start living a healthy life style.  I kept forgetting what I was doing because of my thoughts.

First, I'm sorry I didn't welcome you earlier .. your original post doesn't show up -- my account is so old and has undergone 2 "website" updates, that I think it has tunnel vision.

I'm so glad you stepped into the UNKNOWN and doing your heart's desire!  That's so awesome!!! 

I know that you've opened yourself up to receiving all the very good!

Have you ever read Self Matters? or any of Dr. Phil's other books?
