One thing you can do is to rip out a page or you can burn it. No one has to see it.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>What do you do when you\u2019re too busy to do these exercises?<ul><li>I think that we can always find a few minutes even if it\u2019s just 5. I know that sometimes we\u2019re incredibly busy but you can set a reminder for yourself. It might just look like waking up 5 minutes earlier or staying up 5 minutes more.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>What does it mean to give your feeling space?<ul><li>It means that sometimes we push away the things that we are feeling. If we are feeling anger, we hide it. What would it look like to sit for a moment and allow yourself to feel angry? Give that feeling some room.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Books mentioned: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eat-Pray-Love-Everything-Indonesia\/dp\/0143038419\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eat Pray Love<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Big-Magic-Creative-Living-Beyond\/dp\/1594634726\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Big Magic<\/a> by Elizabeth Gilbert<\/li><li>Irina started her own meetup group!
