Insecurities, I meant to say in my last post... lol security guards go out for a smoke break.
Good ideas, Bean! I can use the time to read (when I return to school, it will be study time to a large degree), watch tv and movies, play my favorite Fb game... There are things I can actually wait to do til pre-bedtime, instead of using them as time fillers during the day.
I think a good idea is to do self-discovery work in the morning when I feel best, fill the day with a variety of things that bolster confidence and improve my future, and then at night unplug and relax. I think that is what many people do anyway, sort of intuitively, but when you live for so long under the veil, you have to consciously establish new routines. I'll also need to recognize when a break is needed, for like meditation/prayer and quick journal entries. But to keep them short and meaningful, so I don't lose momentum in my day.
