I don’t feel any which way right now… I want to be in the relationship with Patrick but it won’t work unless he wants it. I’m kinda past the sad parts, at least for today, but I’m not fully happy again. I’m just barely tolerating my job… I’m not sure what’s going on.

I learned that just taking a few moments to be quiet and listen is very pleasant

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. It’s a start and we need to connect with family higher power therapists pastors animals readers aura

Feeling down
This helped me to think about how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all linked together. This can at times lead me into a low mood. Like today. I can't pinpoint a particular reason or thought as to why I'm feeling this way. I know it's been raining since yesterday; but I normally love being cozy inside and listening to the rain. It does lead me to seek isolation from the outside world. Not wanting to engage with anyone. I started wondering if I am truly lonely sometimes when it was mentioned in this session. I'm usually an "alone but not lonely" person. Right now I just want to sit with it. I did look at my current state with my objective mind; and found things that are contributing to it. Like being off my normal sleep schedule. Also, it's very dark today outside. This all leads me to: this too shall pass. I plan to go to bed earlier tonight; thus waking up early tomorrow per usual. In the meantime, I will keep up my daily water intake. Sometimes it is the little things that matter the most.

I thought it was helpful. I am willing to work on CBT. I like trying new things. I have been wanting to do CBT therapy.
