Today is my follow up/check in with my therapist. Hard to believe that much time has passed already, but then again, I legitimately have no concept of time!
I thought that it would be helpful to wade through the swamp of my thoughts beforehand to try to make the most of our time and discussion today.
Stuff that has happened since then:
- started Upward Leadership Class
- been doing 3 positive things every day on app
- realized my next career step to move towards
- had successful golf tournament - and DIDN'T only focus on what went wrong
- realized the "don't make waves" role I've always had in my family and how it's affected my life
- recognizing how often I tell myself I can't do something or that I'm not the kind of person who does <fill in the blank of what I want>
Stuff to work on:
- conquering fear of career change process
- figuring out how to put myself first more and ask for help
- how to deal with situations where I did ask for help but it bounced back to me
- how to overcome my "less than" attitude
When I write these things out, they seem so simple. The process to make these realizations and recognitions and the journey to override years of programming to be better at who I am is not as easy.
I just have to remember the times that I have followed through, overcome, changed for the better so I can know I CAN do it again.
