Happy memories:
halloween parties, especially one when I was in my twenties, at a deaf neighbor's house. Everything was beautifully arranged and smelled and tasted incredible and warm and everyone was so welcoming and kind.
Today's affirmation:
I don't need to reply to texts right away, or ever, if I so choose!
Today I will focus on shifting my pattern of:
feeling stressed when my guy friend texts me constant needy depression texts. I can't do the work for him, I can't meditate for him, he has to try putting his phone down and actually doing ANY of the science-based self care suggestions I gave him which he of course ignored, for example, journaling. (And my other friend keeps asking to schedule a phone call and I don't do phone calls. Or schedules, lol. I just want to be left alone! Doesn't anyone have hobbies that don't involve their phone? Sheesh. Can't an introvert get some peace?) Anyway, I will focus on communicating boundaries more clearly and directly, which I can hopefully do without triggering anyone.
I am grateful for:
plants! I put my basil and rosemary trimmings in water and will soon have new fresh herbs to eat!
The person I am becoming will experience more:
inner peace and calm when surrounded by the opposite
I have an opportunity to be my future self today when I:
tune out external noise and enjoy the little moments
When I think about who I am becoming I feel:
brave
