Hey, gang, my anxiety-induced chest tightness is back. I want to go for my daily walk before I try the new medication because last night I ended up sleeping over nine hours. Although, according to my health-watch I slept better than usual. Good with the bad, right?
TWO THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (SPECIFIC)
1. I am grateful for this moment of respite the blog offers me. My brain is normally running so many miles per hour that the way it crashes to a dead halt when I try and think of something to be grateful for is a bit of a relief.
2. I am grateful for my Bullet Journal. I really like how I can iterate spread-to-spread. I really like how every new spread is an opportunity to improve upon what I tried before. It makes me excited to get to the next spread because it feels like forward momentum and not falling behind.
ONE THING THAT WENT WELL DURING THE DAY
I wrote yesterday. I didn't hit my writing goal of 885 words. I capped at 645 words. Why is this a thing that went well during the day? Simple. I wrote even though I knew I wasn't going to reach my goal. I still sat down. I still showed up. Like with this blog! Always show up.
ONE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL ACTION ITEM FOR THE DAY
So I met with my cardiologist this morning to do a follow-up on my cholesterol levels. Had a bad reaction to a statin so we're trying, "Lifestyle Changes" going forward. For the rest of the day? Uh ... I want to rewrite something I wrote yesterday. It was wobbly and I think I know how to fix it.
WHATEVER IS ON MY MIND
It's never fun to feel like you have to backtrack when writing. I live for that feeling of forward momentum. Buuuut I acknowledge that it's not always the right thing to do for the book. It's just so disheartening to go backward. Or forward to future victory, depending on how you look at it.
