Jake I'll take a look at your journal probably some time this coming week as I'm out of town right now.
Id say the way to recognize if it is working is to be mindful of how you o stressful situations. Its very subtle and you won't notice anything change. Pay attention to how fast you recover when you get upset. How long you it in a funk. How long you hold onto being mad at a person. Stuff like that. Basically you're training yourself to react and live differently.
I held onto negativity a lot and so I started to notice how that didnt last as long and it's basically gone now. Baf things happen still but I don't sit and mope in the experience.
