Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.
Søren Kierkegaard
I discovered an emotional healing exercise the other day and I wanted to share it with you. It’s called “Emptying the Emotional Jug,” and it’s a simple exercise centered on identifying and expressing things that make you feel (in this order, and at increasingly deeper levels) mad, sad, worried, and glad. It can be done with a partner or alone. I tried the exercise by integrating it into my prayer, with God as my “partner.” I think it’s a powerful tool, and I hope it might be helpful to some of you whenever you feel like you could benefit from an emotional reset. You can find the instructions here. Please let me know what you think. 🙂
