Did some exercises while filing my nails. Wasn’t perfect—made them a bit short—but I stayed less anxious about it, and I don’t think I got so stuck as usual. Took longer than I hope to one day, but also less time than often takes me. I might continue the exercises by carefully cleaning up the cuticles and then celebrate by a little gentle manicure. We’ll see how tired I get. Oh, and all of this has been a gift I gave myself to work on me a bit while I’ve been SUPER BUSY with my first week of teaching classes remotely, getting all the welcome emails out, figuring out technical difficulties, LEARNING 4 NEW CURRICULA, and NOT YET HAVING THE MATERIALS! Feeling pretty proud. Lots more work to go for teaching, mask-making, house work, plant babies, fur baby, new band pieces, ... , and of course working on myself and fighting my OCD. I’ll get there by acknowledging the mountain while focusing on the next step! And I’ll celebrate the steps already taken! You’ll get there too! And I’m proud of you for those steps arcing towards improvement! Celebrating all of our steps! March forth, my friends! 🎉
