While useful this went on too long and I felt it was reasking the same questions just differently.
I have a lot of work to do
I enjoyed writing my thoughts down and the positive affirmations and helpful advise generated from the responses
It feels like right now i feel scattered and at a loss. But my logical side is tellibg me to slow down and trust the process. In the future with more prompts and data collecting (its what i do for work) I’ll slowly build a clearer picture over time. But for now, yes writting these thoughts down ehlps with being honest with myself and someone else about my current reality and issues.
Certainly helped. It made the problem more defined. More clear.
Sure. I keep journals - always.
It helps to define my thoughts and clarify if I feel like what I’ve written isn’t right
Writing it down helps define my inner critic as separate from my true self. My biggest issue at the moment is that ignoring it seems to make me aware of it more, and acknowledging it seems to be admitting defeat and creating the issues I’m trying to avoid.
This is the first time I’ve actually written anything down. I can normally recognize what’s going on in my head but I’ve never put it to paper. I learned my inner critic thrives off of my insecurities and almost taunts me in the moment. He ruins a perfect experience and finds enjoyment from that.
This is the first time I really thought and wrote down what was in my head. I think it definitely helped. Instead of bottling up the emotions, I can bring them to the surface and hopefully revisit them soon.
Definitely helps writing it down opposed to keeping everything internal and feeling bad about myself until the next time.
That it’s protecting me nut not in a good way
It helped. Externalising these things helps get them out of your head.
He emerged during a time of great pain, and helps me avoid it again
It may be a highly competitive part of your brain trying to push you forward, but doesn’t know how to in a healthy way
It helps but I’m concerned that it’s giving the inner critic more of a voice?
Helped to write things down so I could articulate the way I was feeling in a more in depth way.
Writing things down puts the thoughts out in the world instead of them being stuck in my head. It definitely helps knowing that I’m not the only one
Writing my thoughts down allows me to understand a bit better exactly what it is I’m experiencing. Rather than just pure anxiety, I understand the thoughts that’s are getting me worked up
I think it helps. However, I guess more will need to be done to overcome it because, at the moment, it seems like something I cannot have control over.
