Daily Self-Coaching

While these last few weeks have been emotionally draining, I expect that wonky feelings, self-doubt, elation, sadness, and generally being overwhelmed will be emotions that are featured prominently in the next three years or so. When I feel that life is too much to handle, I try to go back to basics. This is written in the front of a notebook I carry around sometimes. It's been a big help!

The Adventure Begins!

Tomorrow morning I will submit my formal acceptance into NIU's master's program in marriage and family therapy. Holy moly - it's real! After almost 15 years of following the next opportunity that presents itself, I'm creating my own opportunity for the first time.

I'm scared out of my mind.

There are a million worries swimming around in my head, but I'm focusing on the future. I will be brave. I will be kind to myself and others. I will breathe. I will be diligent and true to the self I strive to become.

Here goes everything.
