POSITIVITY JOURNAL AND RAMBLIES
5 years ago
General
My therapist is a really cool person, and she keeps me on topic during our one hour sessions every Monday afternoon, we've talked a lot about things in the sessions-we usually keep it to one topic even though my mind is chaos, but she reins in my ramblings really well and I've noticed after our sessions I feel far lighter and like a wall has been brought down to reveal another layer.
There has been so much I've been afraid to talk about, or mention, and with her I can just talk about it. I've realized I'm a lot stronger than I thought, and she even called me resilient in our last session because of how I've been able to push past a lot and be able to talk about it, but it's still damaged me quite a bit. Talking about things that've happened, the cause and affect from it...it's very eye-opening it and due to these past two sessions I've managed to clear a lot of my mental cobwebs, and it's just becoming a really good thing for me to do.
I'm damn proud of myself for seeking this help, and it's on a slider payment plan. So because of my low income status, I only have to pay a small amount if I'm able. Right now it's just zoom calls because of the pandemic, but it's still really nice and I don't hold back when I'm talking to my therapist.
I understand some people don't need therapy, but I do. There's a lot deeper issues with me than I thought. So with that help, I'm working on it. I've even started a daily routine when I wake up as my sleep pattern is getting better because there's less burdens on my mind.
Just...things are getting better, and I'm hoping to get a job as soon as I feel I'm ready to. I still have a lot of things to tackle with my therapist, so I'm going to focus on my mental and emotional well-being before I decide to find a job again. ^_^ Gotta take care of that emotional/mental state first after all.
My routine? Well..
First: break days are Thursdays and Fridays for working out
Work out for 5 min on my manual treadmill (this'll increase as time goes on and I can walk on my bad ankle more)
Meditate for 10-15 min
Write 3 positive affirmations about self
So, yeah!
