(Week 3) June 13th - 19th: This is Me

Week 3 calls for "recovering a sense of power." The author does this by asking the reader to complete phrases such as "my favorite childhood toy was..." "my favorite childhood game was..." "my most cheer-me-up music is..." These phrases are meant to help retrieve memories and misplaced fragments of yourself. There are a total of 20 phrases to complete. For some answers, I hadn't thought about those things in ages. It was a really powerful exercise. I thought a lot about myself and the things that made me happy. Many of the phrases took me back to before I was five years old. It reminded me how much I loved to ride my bike, which I still do. I found this old picture and when I saw it, it made me smile. I thought, that's still me.
