5:53am and I was going to sleep in but my brain was doing this negative chattering so I got up. I’m still very rattled from that 11-day stretch at work. It’s hard to let go of that mindset but that’s my goal this morning. I think lots of us can’t shut off—that’s why we drank. It was quicker than learning how to stop working. Of course it never really worked and nearly killed us. I want to dive into the world of Other Things! I guess I’m ‘Type A’ if I have to have a label. I’m going to write and meditate and be all zen and ask for help. 
. I need to rejoin the world—it will be fun; I’ve been missing many people and leisure time.
24 for me and I wish you a great day or night

Woke up early this morning with a knot of anxiety in my stomach and couldn't get back to sleep. Not sure where the anxiety is coming from and whilst it's tempting to follow it along the route towards worry …. why am I feeling anxious?..... does it mean something awful is going to happen? …… etc... etc.....I'm trying to keep an open mind. I have a few theories about my unexplained anxiety that emerges every so often. Firstly, I wonder whether I'm picking up on someone else's emotions. Maybe this anxiety doesn't belong to me. Secondly, I wonder whether there are alternative realities going on that we know nothing about. Maybe in one of these realities I didn't stop drinking and maybe in that reality something bad is happening right now. Maybe that can somehow resonate with me, today....in this reality. Thirdly and in relation to this specific unexplained anxiety, I wonder whether it's got something to do with the new moon that starts on Monday. At this end part of the lunar cycle, it's usual to feel reflective.... this is a time for emotional release.
Or maybe I'm just hungry. Maybe I need a sandwich
Whatever the reason, the anxiety is here today. I feel it and I acknowledge it and I know that it will pass. And whilst it's here, I might as well use it as motivation to do some yoga, meditate, go for a long walk, look at some trees and write. Because all these things help me with my anxiety. And they make me feel happy. Win win.
Congratulations to everyone celebrating a milestone today. I just realised that it's the 2nd of February today so I am celebrating a milestone. 2 years and 3 months today. I think I'll allow myself to feel a little proud about that. Go away anxiety..... pride has arrived Love to everyone and 24 more for me please xxxx

Wow Kenton—I just couldn’t put it into words but you are feeling it too and are able to. Thank you. Like something is wrong or impending. And it doesn’t have to be me; I pick up on energy of other people very easily. I don’t have to react, I’ll just notice. Going to meditate on it.
