I have found some success with establishing a morning routine. I am actively working on doing the same for the evening.

I discuss different "friends" in my life that I have decided to get rid of and some that just needed to be repurposed. No one is perfect, but a friendship should not require that I dishonor myself.

I discuss how today will challenge me to make physical wellness a priority to make it through this storm of emotions.

I discuss the progress made this week with vulnerability and authenticity.

The desire for a new individual therapist has not yet overridden the vitriol I have for the last one.

A Teacher/social activist based out of New Orleans has shown me what it means to walk the walk. She has reminded me of the larger fight that must be fought. I do not always agree, but I respect the fight and the effort she puts into societal issues. I had previously doubted her, and now I eat crow.

I reflect on the last few months and how survival mode kicked in, but exposed a flaw in my thinking. Similar to someone that always is late to work/school, survival mode can be habitual, problematic and unhealthy over time. If I only act when my back is against the wall, that means I haven't learned the lesson that got me there.

Snoop explained the reason mentorship is so integral to developing a better self.

I discuss the need to examine some reoccurring thoughts and behavior. They are trying to tell me something.

The urge to run kicked in recently and I discuss how I am dealing with the need to escape. The physical need to run is often a disguise for a mental breakdown on the horizon.
