What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

[ronnalee]

What is the FASTER Scale Ronnalee? Glad you're looking for tools and I hope you get balance soon.

the author of the Genesis Process book is Michael Dye and he has done much work with addiction, emotional issues, etc. and he is based in California.

I'm feeling tearful today and I am going back to a tool I used in my Genesis Process class: the FASTER Scale

I know anger is a secondary emotion so I want to dig deep and see what's up with me (:

 

[ronnalee]

I am not always this brave

 

[ronnalee]

And I'm so proud of you all for stating your feelings and getting into your gut and away from thinking and sliding on into numbing or not feeling

Thanks Ronnalee :tup:

Right there with you Ronnalee.

(((SAZZA))) We love you!
(((KP)))No it's not silly to feel violated because of same a$$hole stealing your money Kath. It's happened to my H and I twice and we felt the same way.

I am still exhausted and my body is sore (from playing Wii? GAH!)
I was supposed to go give horse drawn tours at the vineyard today, but I am just too tired from Thanksgiving. I'm beating myself up for it which is stupid. So I am tired from so much activity. Really, what's wrong with taking a couple days to recoup? I may be isolating though too and that is not good. When I think about that then I get anxious. Kinda proves that my thoughts cause my feelings doesn't it?

Hmmmm......in that case......I think I will change my thought pattern this morning!

You are taking time to recoup and recharge your energy. I do the same - I don't think it is isolating. I think of it as being kind to myself, rewarding myself for managing activities. You recoup away my friend.

Good on you all seems like the weekend support group is working overtime looking after those in need. Makes me feel good that we all understand and care for each other. I went for my two hour walk this afternoon, it calmed me down and got rid of my headache. Still adjusting to the loneliness. Time heals all so they say! :(;)

I'm glad the bank sorted it out for your. But you must have been freaking out when you first found out. I lost my purse in the 70's (yes that long ago) with all my store cards in it. Six months later one of the stores tracked me down for unpaid purchases of $3,000. That was a shit load of money back then. Luckily I could prove I had left the state and hadn't been back since. I also reported it to the police that I had lost my purse. Could have turned out different.

Nothing has changed it's only got worse and the amount of arseholes out there has increased to:mad::(:sneaky:.

I'm feeling very tired and in pain still, but I still made effort and went out. will not be doing that again anytime soon. Far to stressful and maddening for me this time of year.:oops:
