 Its easy to use, free and you can personalize it. I have a TM blog/journal and a regular one.

Hi

Well I feel there has to be a reason for not liking yourself, most of the times it is guilt about something that prompts it. But I suppose if you still put it down on paper and read it after a day or two I am sure you would then start to rationalise your reasons for not liking yourself. In a w! ay that would help. Maybe you will see in black and white that what you are feeling is all wrong. But a word of caution don't wallow in self pity, that is more harmful than not liking yourself. So before you start your journal take time to write down all the traits that you think other people and you love about youself. Then see if it works. I have personally gone down a long road where I had come to terms with a lot of things about myself. I did have moments of self pity and those I remember being the worst times, but then it also made me more determined to see myself as I truly am and the acceptance came that okay that was it and now I can do something about it and feel better. It changed my way of thinking and I became more confident and took care of myself more.

 

Hope it works for you.

Hi

Sorry my reply button double clicked and went to you straight without my two penny added to it.

 

Thanks that is really great information. I guess journal writing would also help psychologically as when you tell someone to confide and get it all off the chest, it would just do that. I have practised that often when I am frustrated a! t work or something is bothering me for nights and I can't get sleep I write a letter to whover is concerned. Of course it never reaches that person but it helps me get it out of my system.

 

Crying helps, shouting and screaming in frustraton helps, but writing to someone helps more. Your journal could be addressed to someone, an imaginary friend or your inner self from whom you dont want to hide anything. It will work wonders I feel.

Hi Nima,

 

You are right about being able to get things out of your system without actually confronting a person about it.  I like the idea about addressing a letter to your inner self.  That might be the way to go for me.  But, what if a pers! on feels badly about themselves...do you think that doing it that way might be damaging?

 

Peace, Light and Love
