So far the journaling is going really really well. I try only to skim the surface of negative thoughts (not writing 18 pages of why I'm upset that day, but a simple statement such as "Today the kids gave me trouble.") It's really not important "why the kids were giving me trouble." So anyway, I write the negative issue, and the replace it with something positive. Even though I still have those bad days, the feelings dont seem to last as long when I put a positive in there. The to-do lists are getting out of hand though. I've got to step back and stop going crazy with them because I end up setting myself up for failure because there is no way I can complete everything on these lists.
