Trying to figure out what pushed you into daydreaming and what is now pulling you can be complicated and overwhelming. It’s definitely not just one pain, one insecurity, and one limiting belief that pushed you into this addictive behavior. It’s many of them and they are connected – one causes the other or others. It’s a cluster that needs to be detangled and the root cause needs to be identified. When things are too complicated is always best to write things down. Writing helps you to make sense of thoughts and organizing them in a meaningful way. It helps you to recognize patterns and make connections. And, most importantly, it helps you find out where to start and how to track your progress.
Here is over 120 pages long guide/workbook where you can systematically uncover what is behind your maladaptive daydreaming. It includes five exercises with journal templates for each:
- Daydream journal – where you break down your daydreams to find clues of what “fix” you seek, what are your insecurities, limiting beliefs, and the pain that is fueling your MD.
- Pain journal – where let or you force yourself to feel the pain, instead of running away from it. You journal about the situation/thought behind the pain, the feelings in the body, your desire to run away from it, and your reaction/expression of it.
- Self-acceptance journal – where you gather all the information you got from all your daydreams: about your daydream version of you and compare that to your real self, define what you have to change, or accept about yourself. You also gather all your monsters in the gap – the cluster – and try to detangle it to find the leader of the pack. And, finally, you gather all your “fixes” and try to find a way to give that “fixes” to others and yourself in real life.
- Expression journal – where you analyze your ability to express yourself and then try to find ways to do that better.
- Emotions journal – where you journal about your emotions/feelings (the real one, not the daydream one) and track your progress.
