Pre-Notes
- More honest & aware
- Space for calmness & insight is growing
- Taking work things slowly
- Starting to remember who/what I am, not by force, but by letting things unfold:
- Starting to feel more motivated
- I’ve had a few potentially bad experiences, but I keep remembering the rules
Notes
- My scores: Anxiety started really high, they came down with a dramatic drop (21 > 6) – this was probvably after a few sessions, when I felt more balanced… then they’ve bounced back up again, but more in the moderate zone.
- I feel a bit safer to reflect
- Making my peace with not having to get to the end as soon as possible
- This is HUGE!
- Letting go of all those safety mechanisms… it takes a huge amount of bravery <3
- This frees me up so much: all the time and emotional resources, I’m no lon
- The strength to take a risk
- (I’ve been scared about work because I couldn’t cope with anything bad)
- Tolerance of uncertainty
- A very human ability, this tolerance 😉
- This is what anxiety robs you of
- a welcoming
- I feeel like I can take a risk now
- (Less burdened to follow all those rules)
- “let’s just see what happens”
- Work life balance
- Everyone find this difficult
- The difference is: This isn’t dictating my behaviour. My choices aren’t based on my anxiety, they’re just part of the picture
- We do things for good an important reasons
- The anxiety was trying to proterct me
- I’m not angry with myself anymore
- I understand why I felt that way
- It’s ok. It allows me tro be more gentle with myself, and pull away from the instinct to pull myself away
