@DawnHerring I rely on my #Journaling especially when making life altering decisions. #JournalChat

JournalChat3:40pm via HootSuite

@madeline40 I so agree, Madeline. That's what I love about my #Journaling practice; it is a caring act.#JournalChat

@jillwinski I agree, Jill. Because we already know what we need to do, and denying that change needed just delays it. #JournalChat

Yes! I know for me when something really clicks at a deep level, it is easier to say no -- even if it's still hard! #JournalChat

@JournalChat @jillwinski I think we can get it and still deny it. #journaling helps me work through that#journalchat

@KathyPooler I love that, Kathy. No is a complete sentence. End of story. #JournalChat

KathyPooler3:29pm via TweetDeck

@jillwinski @madeline40 Yes, and journaling helps one see self-defeating patterns #journalchat

KathyPooler3:27pm via TweetDeck

@jillwinski We need to get comfortable saying "No" as a complete sentence (Alanon saying) I agree it is tough #journalchat

JournalChat3:27pm via HootSuite

@jillwinski And Getting It is really a powerful understanding of who we are at our core. That's where confidence comes in. #JournalChat

JournalChat3:26pm via HootSuite

RT @jillwinski: We need to "get it" at a deep level sometimes before we can truly act according to our inner wisdom. #JournalChat

RT @jillwinski: We need to "get it" at a deep level sometimes before we can truly act according to our inner wisdom. #JournalChat

JournalChat3:26pm via HootSuite

@jillwinski Because if we change what we're doing, we step out of our "comfort zone." But in reality, we'd stifle ourselves. #JournalChat

jillwinski3:26pm via TweetDeck

Yes, and it's amazing how "no" can be one of the toughest words to say. #JournalChat

madeline403:26pm via web

@jillwinski Then how does #journaling get us out of that vicious cycle? #journalchat

JournalChat3:25pm via HootSuite

When we recognize what we know, then we are faced with decisions, like when we have to say NO due to what we KNOW. #JournalChat #Journaling

@KathyPooler @JournalChat @jillwinski So true, Kathy. I've been emptying lots of negative lately in my#journaling. #journalchat

@KathyPooler And that leaves more room for What We Know and helps us to Stay Connected to ourselves in the process. #JournalChat
