I’m ready for my day and week ahead. I’m ready for it and I’m not anxious. \u00a0I am slowly finding ways of coping with my anxieties and my monkey mind. \u00a0I’ll never win fully but I will keep going. I’m creating new ways of thinking and keeping reasonably rigid ways with work. \u00a0I have been reading about Stoicism and it is a help. \u00a0I’ve found out that it’s the basis of CBT as well so it’s all very interesting. \u00a0My sleep patterns had been slightly disturbed and I have had a couple of weeks or o of a very mini high. \u00a0I’ve nipped it in the bud and now see a way forwards. I’ve had a few shocks the last couple of weeks by people doing things that I didn’t kind of expect but at the same time I expect the unexpected so it should be of no surprise to me. \u00a0I have also heard about a big job which I had been waiting to hear about and life is good again. I fact lots of work has come in and I need to focus more on work and less on social media and less on others. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0I had another session with my psychologist on Friday. \u00a0It was hard work yet again but very productive. \u00a0I know have a prospectus for the ‘recovery college’ and might see about a few courses and maybe I will eventually help run some too. \u00a0I’m yet undecided. \u00a0One thing I did do is stop off on my way home and record myself an uploaded it to YouTube. \u00a0I’ll add a link and maybe it’ll be of benefit to others. Who knows?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
