Day #37: Full disclosure, I didn't really want to do this today.
There are three main pillars in my life: Home (including family/friends), Work (the day job), and Theatre (my passion). Currently, two of these three pillars are undergoing changes, which is putting a lot of stress on the Home pillar, my mental health, and my emotional balance.
My default in times like this is to turn inward. I struggle to turn outward to things like this, as if finding something to be grateful for/happy about will hurt me more somehow. Intellectually, I know this to be untrue--just like I know both the Work and Theatre pillars will stabilzie eventually and all will be well again, just maybe not on my timeline.
Experience has taught me that turning outward is actually ALWAYS the answer, even if the effort feels too hard.
So today, it's small, but I got there: I just learned how to do something new in Photoshop. It wasn't that hard, but the instructions I had were confusing and I had to work a lot of stuff out on my own. And then I did it.
Thanks again to all on the boards for all the daily reminders.
