There's something about putting things in writing and reading them back that somehow puts even difficult things into perspective. My method of dealing with my inner critic (and wow she can be downright sharp at times) is talking to Hubby. If something is seriously bugging me, if I've had a nightmare that's upset me, if something at work has bothered me, whatever it is I go tell Hubby and we'll talk for as long as I need to, bless him (thank you sweetheart xx) I think it's hugely important to have a sounding board, a way of processing thoughts and feelings and I can easily see how keeping a journal of some kind, whether it's by writing everything out or by doodling or anything else, just a way of paying attention to what's happening in our heads, acknowledging our feelings, is so important. <br /><br />I really do need to try to find out more about the modesty cover thing. It's definitely intriguing and has made me curious :) Hoping you're having a fabulous week honey, stay warm, huggles dear one xxx Rosie's Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607490839144049343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756507668316918987.post-81219327960174657662016-01-26T13:58:59.618+00:002016-01-26T13:58:59.618+00:00LOL :) Well, yes, maybe modesty covers for men for...LOL :) Well, yes, maybe modesty covers for men for certain reading material :) Honestly though Yvonne, I just can't get my head around wanting to hide a book you're reading. I remember ages ago on TV a discussion of new adult covers being introduced for the Harry Potter novels because adults didn't want to be seen reading them with the cover art designed for children. I remember thinking how silly that seemed. How many adults will re-read novels much loved from their childhoods without a thought as to the covers? The whole concept of modesty covers seems very odd indeed, huggles honey xxx Rosie's Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08607490839144049343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756507668316918987.post-39074338799650151862016-01-14T18:20:20.570+00:002016-01-14T18:20:20.570+00:00Oh I'm a notebook girl!!

I once read a book about journaling -- the idea was to journal for a set time each day the by-product was that the participants actually lost weight. I guess it was a way to get out on paper what was bothering them, thoughts they were holding onto, stewing about, etc. doodling is an interesting concept for a diet that maybe is similar.
