Up way too early

I woke up before my alarm again this morning because my body responds this way when my brain can’t shut down. I fell asleep fairly early thanks to my mindset work. I’m up early and not really looking forward to work today.

I love what I do for my patients and the providers I get to work with, so I’m just going to focus on that and let the rest fall away. I do not need to be friends with or deeply connect with people at work. We can be co-workers and go home. It doesn’t need to be more than that.

The other thing that woke me up is that I am still waiting for my individual counseling appointments, while my husband and I are in marriage counseling. I think the work we are trying to do is being hindered because I’m trying to compartmentalize my personal stuff from my relationship with him. We have a session today.

I was going through my email subscriptions, and a Jen Hatmaker episode with Priya Parker on Fighting Well and her book ‘The Art of Fighting’ was just waiting for me to open. Talk about divine intervention. I know what I’m reading next.
