Today we follow Nephi's lead in processing negative emotions that are pulling us down.
Here are the questions we used for our
contemplative journal exercise:
1. What life circumstances seem to be causing my
2. What thoughts have I had about those circumstances that
are causing my negative emotions?
3. How am I experiencing those emotions physically? Where are they in my body? What can I do to allow them to be there?
4.How do the feelings/sensations change as I open up and accept them?
5.What past experiences have I had with God that call me to
6.What truths did I learn about God from those past experiences?
7.What feelings flow out of those truths? (Allow yourself to feel them deeply)
8.What has changed inside me since I started this exercise?
