On a random weekend I decided to take myself on a date to the couch with a notebook and pen. I jotted down all my achievements from the year, including rating them by how much I like the activity and the impact. Then, I decided that I was going to focus on one thing for the rest of the year instead of trying to do too many things, which can make it easy to feel overwhelmed as a highly sensitive person/empath. This simple written exercise will help you refocus and lock in for the rest of the year. It's not too late.

Fellow milspouses, expats, and friends, believe in yourself and your dreams. The best version of you is an intentional one, no matter the season you're in.
