1. I'm doing well, trying hard to motivate myself to work!
2. Going well: I get to relax! I have a chance to work on things I previously didn't! I have time for fun stuff!
3. I'm having a time and a half motivating myself to do things I don't want to do (but what else is new?)
4. I love rain and thunder, yes, but crackling fires and the sounds of babbling brooks and nature, too!

1. Tired
2. Was able to eat today and talked down some very negative thoughts that came up. Also reached out to some old friends, just for a bit though because I knew my limits, remembered why we're not close anymore, respected their boundaries & choice to end the conversation when it was over. Took note of what I was feeling after the chats and am now trying to soothe myself in healthy ways. Also been journaling every day for at least a week now, and meditating every day for a month so I'm happy about that. Some of the meditating was passive listening because I couln't focus but I still count it 
3. I had a hard time a friend that I reached out with, some old attachment issues came up when she updated me on her life. I tried hard to keep neutral but felt myself getting upset, didn't want to start drama so I kept quiet, and was so relieved when she ended the conversation after a few minutes.
4. White noise, light rain, binaural beats, riverstreams or brooks, crackling fire, and anything with quiet nature sounds really. Anything that transports me to a different scenery in my head or allows me to blank out, like the white noise and binaural beats
@Lexloveslife
sorry to hear you were tired lex is that emotionally tired or just in general
yay for being able to eat that was awesome lex, and even more so for talking down negative thoughts. how did the reaching out to old friends go did it go well.
great job on the daily journaling and meditation how you feeling about both of those now its been a week or so
awww I'm sorry to hear it was difficult lex hugs
ooo love rain , riverstreams defo not tried the rest great choices though
@CaringBrit
In general
Reaching out went well, it was a bit awkward
I feel more comfortable with journaling. Meditation is still weird
