KGirl - new life, new stuff

[KGirl]

Today I:
-walked 1.5 miles
-went to volunteer orientation at the library and signed up for a weekly shift
-spent 15 minutes journaling where I gave myself permission to write whatever I wanted about XBF, the breakup, my thoughts, etc... and I only made it 10 minutes before I felt like I was done
-picked some affirmations to say when I find myself drifting into ruminating, obsessing, etc. so I can focus on what I'm supposed to be doing.

So.. yay?

I did not get very much sleep so I did not think it was going to be a decent day. Kept waking up and XBF's face kept popping into my brain and couldn't get back to sleep. Alarm went off and was dreading going to the volunteer orientation, thought about cancelling or saying I was sick. I realized I'd have to walk through downtown and I hadn't been there since the breakup (we'd meet up after work every week and pick a place to eat dinner). But, I made myself do it, and I survived. And the volunteer opportunity is interesting and I'm really excited about it Something that would be hard to commit to on a weekly basis if I wasn't single so I guess that's a positive.
