It took me a few tries on this one too. I had a hard time really visualizing a person whom I hold in high esteem and wisdom. The first time I tried it my mind was filtering through all the people I could think of when out of nowhere a very strong image of my best friend's foster parents when I was a teen popped into my head. I focused on them for a while because it was so strong of an image, but I think I was distracted by something I don't remember. I thought it was very interesting that those two people who I always loved, but never really thought too much about later in my life were the people who stuck out for me. I am considering finding them and just telling them I was grateful for all of the things they did for me when I was a grieving and angry teen.
The second time I tried I used a well known Marriage and Family Therapist and Author John Gottman. I met him at a conference last fall and he was just a wealth of knowledge. I was able to stay a bit more focused this time.
