The combo of it being my last week at my business and the upcoming holiday is breaking me down. I've been overcome with both sadness and anxiety today, just feel awful in my own skin.
I'm going to list some things I'm grateful for as a way to try to shift my focus:
1) My health - despite this being the most trying year of my life, my health has held up. No major issues (knock on wood), and being sober has made me feel better than I have in years.
2) A new beginning - I've long wanted to be on my own for work and control the way that I do things. Having partners have been great, but now I get to build my own team. This is a huge opportunity.
3) Great friendships - by being honest with people I have grown much closer to my friends and family. There's never been as much support in my life.
4) The education of this board - from the books I've read to everyone sharing their own stories on their threads, I feel like I've gotten an advanced degree in relationship, communication, and emotional intelligence.
Now to stay positive through the next few days.
