Exposure Therapy🧋☀️

My therapist gave me some homework about 3 weeks ago to try to go on a date with myself. As small as going to coffee shop. Today I finally got the courage to go to a boba place alone by my home. I was anxious walking alone on the street and anxious about ordering as well. When I got there I was hot and sweaty and my heart rate was up. I tried to watch my breathing and focus on the menu to see what I want. The owner was really sweet! I ordered my drink and paid with cash and then I sat down and waited for my drink. I was trying to take in everything around me and trying to enjoy myself being there and being present. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea with black pearls and it was yummy! The place was playing music in a different language but it was nice and relaxing. I got my drink and took out my journal and began journaling. I’ll have a picture of my entry because I feel proud of it. It was a letter to my past self. It felt liberating honestly. I enjoyed it and I am so proud of myself✨ idk if the pic will be upright but I was making myself teary eyed with my journal entry at the place 📝
