Yesterday, my brain seemed fixed on how stuck I felt. I resisted its message, acknowledging that they’re thoughts and nothing more. Recognising that while there was accuracy in their message, I knew it wasn’t the whole picture. Of course, I didn’t just snap out of it and I didn’t feel on top of world for thinking that my thinking was just thinking…

Today, I feel much better. As yesterday wore on I put together a picture of things could look if I follow a certain path and succeed. There are no guarantees, but I’m able to move in the direction I want – even if it’s only a tentative step. If I realise my hope, I will be working part-time for an employer and feel much more able to make progress on my longer term goals.

Truly, what a difference one day a week might make.
