I need to be aware that fear may be at the root of my inabilty to do something. Doing involves risk and change abd a chance of failure.But it also presents a chance for growth , which in hte long run may make failure more beneficial than sucess.
'FOR TODAY: I do not need to fear failure. I need, rather,the peace of mind that comes with taking the action I have been putting off.'

Doing involves risk. I think feel that. But only from my perspective, not Gods. If i'm doing God's will, the consequences to me should not matter. Can i trust God with that, and boldy, do his will with speed and abandon? No. But he can enable me to do that. And God, i pray you do. Glorify yourself in me.
8:09am : It's been 3 min since i last went off plan. I have an early client appointment. I could easily squander it, cuz i can feel myself off plan.

2. Cultivate enthusiastic gratitude that you have had the good fortune of finding out what was wrong before it was too late.
3. Expect as being normal, that for a time, perhaps a long time, you will recurringly experience:
Just replace "drink" with "go off plan, do something impulsive, low priority, and 'fun'" and it fits me to a T.

Progress, not perfection.
Consistency over emergencies.
Do the thing that feels healthy, not "shouldy" or escapist.

Things I did well today:
I worked diligently when I had the time to work.
Things I can improve on:
Being perfectionistic, trying to live up to a standard that's not even my own. If I remind myself that I create my own life, and I get to choose what I put in it - and the only qualifications for validity is if it interests me, and that I feel good when I do it - then I can move about my day in a happier manner.
3 things I’m grateful for:
1) Therapy, even when it's hard.
2) Choice.
3) Food.

Many thanks jalia!
Haven't been in here all week because have been plunging straight into work each day, there's been so much of it. BUT that doesn't mean I haven't been procrastinating becasue if I don't check in here, the first thing I do at work tends to be work email and then I work really reactively, responding to whatever comes up, putting off what I actually meant to do, and get to the end of the day having acheived much less than I meant to. Also sleep badly if I don't unburden myself here by posting the to do list.
So here's today:
