Nothing much has happened since getting my plane tickets. I have, however, been applying what I know of the Creative Journal method in my own journaling... and WHOAH, this is some pretty amazing stuff. I am getting more and more exited about going through and completing the training so I can begin to share these tools.
Most people (myself included) just don't know how to weed through the mess that the past leaves behind without getting stuck in it. Most people think if it's left in the past, everything will be okay, but I don't think it works that way. Every past experience has a hand in building our present character, for better or worse. In this way, we carry the past with us. I've begun asking myself, in certain situations: AM I REACTING TO THE PAST OR RESPONDING TO THE PRESENT? This is my jumping off point. Very illuminating, I think.
