I was lying in bed feeling restless about tomorrow so I decided to get out of bed and try something I heard Elizabeth Gilbert describe in an interview.

It's not like a romantic thing and seems similar to journaling. I just wrote down all the things I was worried about directed at the part of myself that is capable of unconditional, deep, compassionate care asking for advice.

Then switching modes to what the compassionate part of myself would say which isn't really to offer advice but just reassurance and care. I found this really therapeutic and might make it a habit. 

I was wondering if anyone else has tried this or journaling in general? Has it helped?
