Another Pretty Good Day
We finally delivered what we needed to the customer. That was good news. I did pretty well managing my mood, mostly by acknowledging that I have a natural tendency toward black and white thinking. When an upsetting thought would come up, I would look at it as a by product of black and white thinking. Recognizing that the thought was a by product of black and white thinking reduced the impact and made it easier to then bring up some counter thoughts. I did have a mildly distressing incident late in the day, when something came up at around quitting time. I didn't really analyze that thought but bet it was something on the order of "now I'll never get out of here." Well, I'm home now, so it looks like I did get out of there. Fodder for future distortions.
