šø Party time!š Genie followed up:So all the things (celebrations, parties, conversations etc etc) happened yesterday - AND, I didn't freak out!! I got through it all and it was mostly fine. I'm still actually processing it all - because there was a lot, and some of it really surprised me - in terms of how I reacted.I can't explain exactly how - (I do have a little inkling) - IFSĀ was part of this, but in my bones, I know it was!

šø Doing it wrong and the real fear chat with James.
š¹ Parts:
P: Judgement about watching tv, should be more noble and spiritual. Puts a bow on it, labeling it. Too much content. Stuff going on at 3 is a boring old story. Frustrated others canāt read my mind. Where do i fit in? (Same burden as exiles)

E: 5 yo unseen
š What I'd like to do differently:
Day 4 of deep relaxation, a personal vacation, have been doing lots of my own parts work. I'd like to do more to maintain continuity; "doing it wrong" gives us these glimpses, and when they're share with me (not Justine-Self), I should take more responsibility for following up.

Day 3 of deep relaxation (trying to see how much it affects an ailment of mine). But I always regret skipping much of my call prep.

287: Brandon A. revisits
šø Conquering fear. To be or not to be (Self)
š¹ Parts:
7 to 10 year old, incapable, not enough
Early teens, distraction, addiction
P: give up. You canāt parent them, youāll just make it worse confirming youāre incapable.
š What I'd like to do differently:
Do differentlyā¦ with or without hindsight? Yes I'm taking shots in the dark, maybe I'm railroading. Thatās what it (a part of me at least) feels like: I canāt keep up when I follow, so I need to quickly lay down track, to get ahead of an energy in full motion. Is it the *right* track? I dunno. But weāve tried no track before, and these conversations have gotten away from me. I think my concerned parts took *me* off track, I wish I'd taken more opportunities to suggest a you-turn.
