41.5 – For Last Week’s MM:
Readiness is not a feeling. It’s a decision.
The voice in your head that says you’re not ready is not protecting you. It’s just stopping you from finding out what you’re actually capable of.
What have you been telling yourself you’re not ready for? What if you did it anyway?
Do the thing you’re not ready for. Let me know what happens.
Once again – with gusto! – I failed to get this posted on the day I was supposed to (Oh, look, tomorrow is Monday again?! Faaaack!). I am reminded that I started this blog journaling journey REALLY well and that lasted far longer than normal… and here I am now, having reduced it to once a week, failing to keep up with even that much. Kind of ironic that the topic for last week’s MM was “readiness” and making the decision to do the thing you’re not ready for, eh?!
42.0 – You Can’t Control This
Two things for you to think about
The moment you accept that you can’t control the outcome is the moment you stop being controlled by it.
The people who seem most at peace aren’t the ones who got everything they wanted. They’re the ones who stopped wanting everything they couldn’t have.
Reflect: Then consider sharing this thought with others.
Two things for you to ask yourself
What outcome are you trying to control? What would you do differently if that didn’t matter?
Recommended: Use these as journaling prompts for the week.
One thing for you to try this week
Let go of one outcome you’ve been trying to control and just do the thing. Reply and tell me what changes.
Remember: Small changes lead to lasting breakthroughs.
As for how I’m doing… just, ugh… Ketamine was this past Thursday and that went well enough. I had a medication change this past week that I started Friday, so there’s not much to write about regarding that, just yet. Things have been mundane/normal for myself and The Boyfriend, I guess. I think he’s FINALLY done with the Disclosure, so now we just wait for his last call with the men’s coach and the 2:2 Disclosure call with both coaches to go over it. We’re kind of in a limbo with starting the Program work from the beginning, too, but I get the impression that he wants to start it sooner, rather than later. Idfk. He had a relapse and confessed to it last Monday (ah yes, enter the reason why I didn’t post last week). I handled it better than usual, mostly because he told me about it during the day (while at work) and we talked about it right then, rather than waiting for evening check-in. It makes a pretty big difference and I think he finally got to see why.
Outside of that, not much else has happened. I won’t be doing EMDR this week, which is totally ok. And I’ll be posting another one of these tomorrow – lol… provided I actually DO it… 😅
