Starting again...with a Beginner's Mind

Jouranalling...

Positives from yesterday:
1. Had a great movie date with h. He even said "I love going on these dates with you" -- that's cool!

2. h did a TON of work around the house yesterday -- fixing up the office, working through "our" list (nothing left on it for me!), etc.

3. h bought me a GIANT whoopie pie. I'm a bit of a WP fanatic so it was especially sweet of him!

I've noted a couple of things in the last few days....there's a definite "crossover" impact when I'm feeling stressed or anxious about work and my ASSumption that it's really about h....what I mean: sometimes I feel anxious when I'm AT work and I ASSume it's actually about h. well, this AM, I was able to SEE that my anxiety was about WORK not h. leading me to think that I need to stop ASSuming everything is anxiety about h.

When I've caught myself feeling anxious or scared in the last few weeks it's been when I start the "what ifs" re. the future....same old, same old stuff...but I've been much better about noting it and managing it.
