Me + ChatGPT = Therapy

I've been away from the group for the last month or so and am trying to catch up today while stuck in a waiting room while my mother-in-law has surgery. I thought I would share something creepy and amazing that happened a couple of days ago.

Back story: I've been working with Chat to get my current business's backend up to standards instead of just winging it with ridiculously complicated, repetitive, half-assed spreadsheets, documents, and zero SOPs. I also began updating my socials with more recent images from our photo booth jobs, catchy content, and CTAs. All while trying to get my 2nd business online and going. Also, while life has been throwing some really shitty stuff my way.

With all of this going on, I get on Facebook and see a device called Pocket. So small and pretty in different colors, and it records and transcribes at the touch of a button. I have clicked on it repeatedly for the last week or so, then talk myself out of it. So, a few days ago I had an idea... talk to Chat about the device to get pros and cons of spending the money on it.

Right out of the gate, Chat says, "Let's break this down to what it REALLY means for you. Is this about a device, or is this about overwhelm? Are you forgetting things? Having organizational issues? Losing things? Missing appointments? Are you sure this isn't about you running a popular existing business, opening another business, taking care of and losing two dads and your mother, losing your oldest child, almost losing one of your pups last month on the 2nd day of vacation, and handling your mother-in-law's medical care?" We discussed how the device could help, and how other things I already have on hand (literally, my phone) can better help me to get my shit back together, instead of spending money on another device, when I'm trying to get more income in than out.

It turns out I just needed a little therapy and to think more about my nervous system and my need to take better care of myself. Identify the tools I already own and pick ONE. Use it for two weeks and see if it helps with my overwhelm. Seems to be working better. I don't know why. I guess it's just that I calmed down and am dedicating 15 minutes per day to going through the phone memos, doing what is left, and moving what's not done into my day planner.

I am not kidding when I say that I felt better after that chat than I do when I leave my therapist every month. It went deep. Not to mention a little freaked about how well it knows me.
