Some of you may have bought the book, some the journal and some both. I purchased both, but used the journal far more than the book. Since all of the exercises are in the journal and it is designed to have things written in it, I used it more. The benefit of having the book, however, was the details that she gave about the concepts that she talked about.
When I was in college my social self, as Martha Beck named it, dominated everything that I was. I just started listening to my essential self more in the last couple of years because I realized how listening to everyone except myself wasn't working out for me. It was, in fact, making me very ill. When I first moved to Colorado I went against everything that my essential self told me. I drove out here crying the entire trip. I recently started to listen to the voice of my essential self again about six months ago. It was and still is the hardest thing to do; yet I thank myself constantly for doing it.
Be Well My Friends one project that helps both social and essential self work as a team. This is partially how I knew it was my calling. I've never regretted it, I've learned so much by doing this.
