Had a good day today
It's Saturday. I went hiking today, on my own, but took a few minutes to review my entries in the app and set some goals. Yes, one was to reach the peak. I was glad I took the time to review my entries because I had been thinking about an upcoming meeting at work and was forecasting conflict. Because of that, I was feeling stressed and anxious when I arrived at the trailhead. Reviewing my entries reminded me that I tend to have such thoughts and that one thing I can do is imagine the opposite. So that's what I did. It helped me. I also recognized that I was engaged in some emotional reasoning related to those thoughts, and thus I had been focusing on the negative aspect of other things in my life, things not related to work. Recognizing this helped too. It was a pretty good day.
