I read somewhere that opening our journaling session with a question rather than just an outright rant about what's bugging us is also the quickest way to get some persepctive on an issue.<br /><br />Also, asking an open question rather than a why question can be powerful too. For example instead of "why does xyz bug me so much?" ask "whatJuliet Platthttp://www.treetopscommunications.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864053513546139314.post-82566380275551558032010-07-20T18:52:19.691-05:002010-07-20T18:52:19.691-05:00Thanks, Donna.

All power to ya! <br />Yes, the same issues we see in others bring out conflict are often a reflection of ourselves. <br />A journal is the perfect place to work out those core issues and make positive change.<br />Thanks for your comment, Kristin!Dawn Herringhttp://www.journalwriter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864053513546139314.post-84734606140469659022010-07-16T17:34:02.796-05:002010-07-16T17:34:02.796-05:00My answer to "why?" is often because the...My answer to "why?" is often because the person irritating me is an awful lot like me. The characteristics that bother me about other people are often the exact things that bug me about myself. When that comes out in journaling, I back down and quietly ask how I can change my own behavior. It's HARD! :) Thanks for the encouragement to look at the Whys, even when they're Kristinhttp://www.journalingsaves.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864053513546139314.post-69764711974056390492010-07-13T18:09:53.153-05:002010-07-13T18:09:53.153-05:00Caren,

When we get down to the core issues of our reactions to things, we can make specific steps toward positive change that will make a significant difference in our overall happiness. <br />DawnDawn Herringhttp://www.journalwriter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864053513546139314.post-91419367695287095192010-07-13T17:24:18.880-05:002010-07-13T17:24:18.880-05:00I very much enjoyed this post Dawn.

I think the reason I loved studying Philosophy so much and the reason I minored in it, was because Philosophy is all about "whys"....there really are no factual answers...only "whys"...when we ask "why" we are faced with many, many answers...all of them legitmate.Cat and DOG Chat With Carenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666719374831725417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864053513546139314.post-33626400637362835842010-07-13T16:06:02.943-05:002010-07-13T16:06:02.943-05:00Thanks so much, Mike, for your point of view.

I am able to explore myself, even if it's through a character. It can be revealing at the least and over time very therapeutic. Thanks for putting it down so nicely.<br /><br />And ficwriter added a good second test - is it true? For this to really be valuable we must be honest with ourselves.<br /><br />-MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864053513546139314.post-74504658882131029322010-07-10T14:53:44.488-05:002010-07-10T14:53:44.488-05:00Darrelyn,

It works particularly well when you think someone should behave a certain way. For examples, go to: http://www.thework.com/index.phpthework.com <br /><br />Thanks for another wonderful post and for the reminder to question why.Darrelyn Saloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11948492186125419830noreply@blogger.com
