I had a busy and emotionally rough couple of days but I am up again. I dealt with what felt like rejection from a couple of people close to me and it hurt deeply. I was so grateful to have our good counselor JT who helped me realize how my high expectation of others are the reflection of the perfectionism I have about myself. I would expect others to treat me as I treat them but that is not even fair. They are human and have their own lives to deal with. JT reminded me that an expectation is a resentment waiting to happen. When I decide in advance how someone show show up for me, I hand them a script they never agreed to read. So I will remember that the same grace I am learning to give myself -I don't have to be perfect- is the exact grace that sets the people I love free too.

Also let me know in the comments. Might use this info for a reband 😎 Thanks 🙏

I have been busy because I am expecting company next weekend, was still late for an appointment and that was very unsettling but in general I am happy with my new self. I have been keeping more promises to myself than failing as I used to, that is evidence that the program is working. One thing I did that was very helpful was to start watching the videos from the challenge again. That review helps me ground myself because I realize how much I have learned and am still making part of my being. I plan to watch the rest of the videos because for me repetition makes a huge difference.

I didn't want you to think I disappeared. Guess what, not a novel.
