#JournalChat Live 12/13/12 Part I Topic: Your Journaling: It's Just Perfect!

JournalChat3:56pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt Yes, I recommend it to anyone with a#journaling practice. I love the idea of having a wholistic view. #JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:56pm via web

#JournalChat Self-sabotage is discerned by a strangeness & uncomfortableness--love, fun & joy are self evident & are simply our "truth".

JulietPlatt3:55pm via web

#JournalChat I'm very left-handed - I used to write mirror images but to me it looked right!

JulietPlatt3:54pm via web

#JournalChat - great tip about writing with both hands

#JournalChat @DawnHerring yes self sabotage as well

When I found out that writing with both hands alternately can help activate both parts of the brain, I've done that every day. #JournalChat

#JournalChat For decoys also read ego's creepy opinions!

JournalChat3:52pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt I think decoys may also be named, "Self-Sabotage." What do you think? #JournalChat

JulietPlatt3:51pm via TweetChat

Yes Michael - love the priorities #JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:51pm via web

#JournalChat then we fill in with what we love, what's fun, etc. Creating an opening to our divine essence w/o ego's creepy opinions.

JournalChat3:51pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt Perhaps #Journaling can also help us figure out what those decoys are! #JournalChat

JulietPlatt3:50pm via TweetChat

@DawnHerring we need to be wary of our decoys!#JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:50pm via web

#JournalChat @juliet how about what would ME BE, then HAVE, then DO? The sequencing gives us a sense of priority.

JournalChat3:49pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt Oh, I love that, Juliet. That's a great question to run with! #JournalChat

JulietPlatt3:47pm via TweetChat

@OutOTWhirlwind those are great attitudes to write from. What would the most fun or most alive "me" do? #JournalChat

JournalChat3:47pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind Yes, we do all have a choice. And our journal helps us make those choices.#JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:47pm via web

#JournalChat Great! We develop the palette of what we love in the perspectives of OOTW; appreciation, knowing/fun, our vision.

JournalChat3:46pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt Do you think that high energy is authentic or disguised as something else, Juliet?#JournalChat

JournalChat3:45pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt That's a good question, Juliet.#JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:45pm via web

#JournalChat @dawn, don't wonder, simply describe & choose to be the highest, most fun, awake, alive you can be in your life. Choose it!

JulietPlatt3:45pm via TweetChat

I can also be quite suspicious of high energy in my journal - sometimes feels I'm trying to convince myself! #JournalChat

JournalChat3:44pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind Yes, when I know I'm hitting on that 'essence' or intuitive vibration, stay on that channel! #JournalChat

JournalChat3:43pm via HootSuite

I notice when I talk or journal about something that gets my energy lifted, I know I'm touching on that 'essence.' #JournalChat #Journaling

DawnHerring3:43pm via HootSuite

I notice when I talk or journal about something that gets my energy lifted, I know I'm touching on that 'essence.' #JournalChat #Journaling

OutOTWhirlwind3:43pm via web

#JournalChat @dawn, so choose that as who and what you are--allowing the other crap to dissipate--turn the channel until the right one.

JournalChat3:43pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt Breaking our issue down into smaller bites, so we can digest them more easily.#JournalChat

JulietPlatt3:42pm via TweetChat

I'm curious how to engage our essence in our journal. Any tips on that Michael? #JournalChat

JournalChat3:42pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind I love that, Michael. That's what we all want to know too, who we really are.#JournalChat

JournalChat3:41pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt It's probably our way of attempting to understand it more so in the physical realm.#JournalChat

JulietPlatt3:40pm via TweetChat

I often refer to "lists of distinction" - it's primarily what I use lists for - like chunking down the elephant#JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:40pm via web

#JournalChat The higher vibrational intuitive knowings expressed as love or fun are essentially our essence, our divinity--who we really are

JournalChat3:40pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind I prefer the lighter stuff myself, Michael. ;) #JournalChat

JournalChat3:40pm via HootSuite

If we have a specific issue we want to tackle, making a relevant list can help us gain clarity. #JournalChat#Journaling

DawnHerring3:40pm via HootSuite

My favorite approach to #Journaling is summary of my day; so a list can help make it more distinct.#JournalChat

JulietPlatt3:39pm via TweetChat

It's neat how we use very physical language for our intuitions - gut-feeling, something smelling bad#JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:39pm via web

#JournalChat vs. those that are thoughts which are "heavy, uncomfortable, deadening"--essentially the contracted self-identify.

JournalChat3:38pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt So, you recommend the list for distinction. Love that. #JournalChat

JournalChat3:37pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt Lists also help with being succinct, getting to the point and heart of the matter.#JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:37pm via web

#JournalChat We need to discern walking and chewing gum. We discern those intuitive feelings, fun, love, that are experienced vibrations.

JulietPlatt3:37pm via TweetChat

The lists help us make distinctions rather than collapsing everything together #JournalChat

JournalChat3:37pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt I do that sometimes too. Julia Cameron is big on lists in her workbooks. It helps bring awareness. #JournalChat

JulietPlatt3:36pm via web

#JournalChat Dawn I like using lists eg 10 things that are important to me, 10 talents I have, 10 skills etc

JournalChat3:35pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt That's what I love about #Journaling; it gives us a place to be quiet and listen and then write!#JournalChat

JournalChat3:34pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind Sometimes those feelings do have a way of messing with us. ;) #JournalChat

JournalChat3:34pm via HootSuite

I think when our desires lead us to more open, expanded territory, where our heart is, we're on the right track. #JournalChat #Journaling

DawnHerring3:34pm via HootSuite

JulietPlatt3:34pm via web

#JournalChat Spot on about talking with our bodies. Our ego is just noise - we want the still small voice instead

OutOTWhirlwind3:33pm via web

#JournalChat If asked by clients how I am, I say I'm great as long as I don't pay attention to how I think or feel. Gets laughs/funny looks.

JournalChat3:32pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt How would you recommend working that distinction, Juliet? Any tips? #JournalChat

leahmichon3:32pm via TweetDeck

@JulietPlatt True, it can be hard to tell the difference sometimes. #journalchat

JournalChat3:32pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind I agree, Michael, we need to listen to what our intuition is telling us; and #Journalinghelps us do that. #JournalChat

JournalChat3:31pm via HootSuite

I have been surprised by what I hear when I inquire of my physical body; it's ready to talk if I'm ready to listen! #JournalChat #Journaling

DawnHerring3:31pm via HootSuite

I have been surprised by what I hear when I inquire of my physical body; it's ready to talk if I'm ready to listen! #JournalChat #Journaling

OutOTWhirlwind3:30pm via web

#JournalChat The intuition is not of the ego, It's our essence we allow, open to, respond to--always available if we surrender to it.

JulietPlatt3:30pm via TweetChat

@leahmichon And it's vital to be very distinct about what's really important versus what's important to our gremlins! #JournalChat

JournalChat3:29pm via HootSuite

@JulietPlatt #Journaling enables us to talk with our bodies and understand what they're trying to tell us.#JournalChat

@JulietPlatt That is vitally important. So it help you realize the 'why' behind your eating, not just the 'what.' #JournalChat

OutOTWhirlwind3:21pm via web

#JournalChat We're simply following our internal knowing for what is wanted (what's fun) or not wanted in our lives--then dance freely.
