This was probably the hardest week for me during this process – I was sick for 4 days, only completed one exercise, and while I did the morning pages while I was sick, the last two days of this weekend I skipped out on morning pages because of the illusory concept of being “behind” in my work.
1. 5 out of 7 morning pages. Do I get a demerit? Mostly, it just seemed laborious. I have that happen – one or two weeks where getting my inner dialog out is a real strain, but then all of a sudden the lid comes off on a memory or opinion I’ve been suppressing and it’s a big energy clean-out.
2. I did do my artist’s date – I went and shot pool. I’m going to make that a regular thing that I do on Friday afternoons, anyway. I was a really decent player at the end of my first year of college, and it gets me a little physical activity. I don’t think I’d ever join a pool league – being sentenced to nine ball on account of my vagina offends me.
3. If I experienced synchronicity, I didn’t notice it because I was blowing my nose too loudly.
4. My biggest issue on recovery is that my inner critic is really, really eager for me to have a big backslide and I also still fall into the trap of putting outside work before my own.
