J is for journaling in the A to Z of revising

ournaling

I have been attempting (not always successfully) to journal during this revision process. It seems odd to use free writing as a tool in such a left-brain exercise, but it truly helps when I get stuck. It isn't for anyone but me, and I rarely look back at it. At the beginning of this revision I tried journaling every day. That was good for a bit, then I stopped for some reason I cannot remember. I probably just forgot and then going back to remember what it was that had happened became a rather wasteful exercise. But, I'm still journaling - only more organically. How does it help? It is like a conversation with a really good friend, who understands the whole project so far, and is (fairly) non-judgmental. Like all free writing, it allows thoughts to push to the surface that I've ignored for some reason. There are no stupid ideas in journaling - so the cascade of thoughts can pour out - like a waterfall that hasn't been dammed. Sometimes that torrent releases the blocks that have been stopping me - blocks usually comprised of fear.  Because no one will see this but me, I allow myself to penetrate those fears without censure. Once released on the page they lose their ability to stop my work.

I love the idea of journaling, Jan. It does release the creativity, and it's an effective way to reflect, too. I often coach my students to use journaling in the classes they teach, because it's also a very effective assessment tool. A great choice all around!

Just a couple of months ago, I gave this relationship doctor Robinson buckler a try. It was my last hope to get my ex husband back.

Weeks before my ex left me and our 2 children, there were a lot of argument and fighting between me and him. On the day he left me, he told me that he doesn't think he loved me any more and this was not working. I was so devastated hearing this, I begged him not to go and I even promised that I would change. But he made up his mind already. He packed his bags and left our house.

I tried calling him and texting him to tell him I miss him and still love him. I asked him to give us another chance. He slowly stopped replying to my messages and stopped picking up my calls.

I then searched the internet on how to get ex back, and even bought a few products such as text your ex back and ex recovery system. Nothing worked, and my ex was still very cold towards me.

When I was about to give up, I found Robinson buckler ex back program. He is a relationship coach with a lot of success stories. I knew what I needed was not a book but a coach to guide me how to make my ex fall in love with me again. I immediately signed up for his program.

In the first couple of days, I made a lot of good progress. I am happier and more confident. My ex saw the positive changes in me, and started to talk to me more and even asked me out for dates.

Fast forward two weeks later, my ex told me that he wants to give our relationship a second try. I was beyond happy when I heard that.

Now, we are closer and happier together. It would not have happened without Robinson buckler help.

I highly recommend
