I went to my very first therapy/counseling appointment yesterday. I was nervous, but also excited, to finally be in the doc's office. It was incredibly emotional but it was empowering to realize that I can be fixed! Not that I am COMPLETELY messed up, but there have been issues growing up that has made me the way I am today with my insecurities. I look forward to more meetings with him, my next one is on July 1st. He has asked for me to write down my dreams (since I am excellent about remembering what they were), as well as starting a journal. I need to be specific as to what I feel about myself, and things that trigger me to have different moods - giving explanation and description about what is happening in my day to create the mood I am in. I have tried keeping a journal in the past, but I always tend to write in it when something bad is happening to me. I could try making a habit at a certain time of day to write SOMETHING... I know it doesn't have to be a novel or anything.
Today has been driving me a little more crazy... the Fall Sports are starting to create schedules and it's my job to stay on top of it and make reservations. It's so crazy right now actually. I needed to take a break though since I haven't gone to lunch, to try and open my mind a little and stop focusing quite so harshly on dates, conflicts, emails, and phone calls.
I am off, time to go retrieve the mail from the opposite side of campus.. might just walk to get some exercise in. :)
I hope you have some sparkle brought to your day!
