Back to balanced living! I took yesterday off, and today is a slow day. I went to the gym this morning, then came home and read my healthy-head book. Which I'm now going to write about. :D
I found your LJ through Star Trek fic, and added you just because. Your honest self-examinations and spiritual journeying, though, have proved just as wonderful to read, so full of strength and hope. I'm planning on reserving a copy of that book at the Mid-Manhattan library...

Thank you! :D It's always kind of neat to know people are reading this. I mean, I write it out mostly for my benefit, but I'm happy to hear that other people find it interesting, if not helpful!
It's an awesome book. I think you can get it for pretty cheap off half.com, too. :D It has nifty spiritual things without slanting toward any one religion, it's funny, it's not woo-woo so I don't find myself rolling my eyes, and Iyanla is just awesome. :D I love that she tells how she messes/messed up, and where she still struggles. Makes me feel like I can get there, too!
Here's something I have to wonder or ask with regards to this chapter. If you wrote down exactly what you wanted to accomplish per day and allocated hours to it and there really was an overage or a shortage somewhere, do you think that would help? I always keep telling myself that I don't have time to write or prepare better meals for myself, but then I think about times where I've done nothing but play video games or watched TV in the name of evening out so that I don't become a larger, more angry ball of rage at the office and it gets all wonky.
Something to think about, and something I'm going to bring up in my next therapy session... which is tomorrow...
I've actually tried that, and realized I didn't have enough hours to get done everything that needed to get done. So I stopped doing that, and figured everything would get done when it needed to get done. *wry smile* Somehow, everything does get done. My biggest job now is to remember to give myself decompression time!
I hope you and your therapist find better answers! ;)

And no, I cannot tell you why I think that would be such a cool, handy connection to have.

*grins* Because you know that someday I'll need to be bailed out by a vice guy? ;-D
