Small steps

I had another clinical behavior therapy session tonight. The first in two weeks.

It seems crazy what has happened in the last two weeks. So much on at home, so much at work, and this progress on top.

It as a chance to reflect on what is working and what to try next. I feel like I've learnt more about myself and more skills in life in the last 14 months than I have in decades prior.

Tonight's actions:
* I need to build a list of all the strategies which are working. I'll save it as a list so I can refer back to it and remember to use them when the novelty wears off.
* Everyday mindfulness - they have sent me some reading to do on this. Sounds exactly like a fit form me so I'm hopeful.
* She's given me a blog to read form a local specialist.
* Ah crap, I can't remember the other one. I hope it'll come back to me.

I'm throwing everything I can at this. And I feel like there's small steps of progress. I described tonight a 'I've gone from "Frantic" all the way to "Frustratingly Impatient" - it's a small step, but it is indeed a start.

.“The path to wisdom does, in fact, begin with a single step. Where people go wrong is in ignoring all the thousands of other steps that come after it. They make the single step of deciding to become one with the universe and for some reason forget to take the logical next step of living for seventy years on a mountain and a daily bowl of rice and yak butter tea that would give it any meaning. While evidence says that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, they're probably all on first steps.”
