Experience with the exercises in The Maestro Monologue
The one I enjoyed the most was writing down the ingredients in the maestro monologue. Although enjoyable, I guess it was just not effective for me.

But I do think that it was helpful in a way, it got me to slow down things, slow down my rushing thoughts, and just helped me calm down as I did the exercises. Sad to say that it did not impact me so much.

Yes, I do agree that it's not something that can be achieved by doing it once. I will have to find the will to keep on going back to it and review progress, because I definitely didn't before...Sharon Christanto wrote: ↑02 May 2022, 02:35 I've been doing the exercises too! In my opinion, these exercises need to be done several times. Revisit the journal prompt whenever I have time, contemplate, then rewrite the journal based on current situation. Changing our old self is not easy and it can't happen overnight. It's a continuous process

I totally agree with you. I did some of them too but for the fact that I stopped doing them daily, I forgot some of the important aspects related to them. Therefore, I do think that performing them daily would be of great benefit.Ems100 wrote: ↑02 May 2022, 07:36 I did quite a few of the exercises. Although keeping up with exercises especially those from books on a daily basis is quite difficult. It takes high level of discipline and diligence to keep up.

The last question in that exercise is the one that helps me to decide on how to chase that particular task. The question demands that we answer sincerely if we are over-applying our reactions when we get stuck in situations.
And if we analyse truly we always tend to react emotionally to a challenge and most times over react

We are all a product of the culture in which we are born (family culture, community culture, ethnic culture), and also we are a product of the time in history in which we are raised. You can be sure all of that hand you a lot of can-NOTS. It seems we cannot escape the can-NOTS, but we can deal with them and render them harmless, aye? Thank you, all of you, for participating in this forum. Rob - author of the book.
Likeeeee. You just read my mind, Rob. So many can-NOTS, especially from religious and ethnic considerations. Dealing with my can-NOTS was also my favorite exercise.
