It's interesting you mentioned journaling as a way to heal because that's the way I healed myself.
Every day I set three goals to improve my life. You have to try to improve in all three every day. You might fail but the goal is to try to accomplish the three goals. Since I was so broken I could only plan out the next day. The categories were:
Work
Fun
Recover.
Work is pretty self explanatory. Do something productive. It only has to be one thing. If you did it then that was a good day. It might be clean your room, exercise, etc. As I got better the work became more as I had more energy.
Fun - If you did the work then you get to do the fun. This is your way of conditioning yourself to like doing work. Also good work deserves a reward and makes it fun. Maybe you have an ice cream bar, watch the show you wanted to see, or go to the movies alone. You get to choose whatever fun thing it is.
Recover - Do what it takes to heal from all the work and fun you just did. That probably means going to bed at the same time every day. Waking up and getting sunlight on your face in the morning and eating nutrient dense foods like meat, fruit, and veggies.
If you have any questions let me know. It helped me a ton.
How did I miss this! I like this - i think in many ways it reflects this triangle of healing. For me I categorize things into Mind, Body soul - so in a sense work is mind, fun is perhaps body and recover is soul....I have a logo in mind for healingvrse lol that I'm work on. It's crazy how aligned people are when they go through the journey - infinite details but the mindset becomes one! If you dont mind I may refer to this later on.

Glad you saw it! I considered calling it mind, body, and soul. I felt work, play, and rest is easier to visualize. Feel free to use it!
