Today's episode is a personal testament to facing fears, picking up the phone, and leaving a bad day trapped between its two sunsets. Join me as I share about my day today – the increasing highs. From a difficult yesterday where smiles didn't come easy, to the evening's gentle closure with my bed and a book, I navigated the choppy waters and ended in serenity last night.
I discuss the importance of self-regulation, keeping myself at a steady "5", and how attending an AA meeting can bring solace even on the toughest days. You'll hear about the refreshing escapism found in Daniel Mason's "North Woods: A Novel", the discipline of voiceover practice, and setting activities goals with my psychiatrist. And then, the moment that turned the day around: a phone call to my mom.
In today's digital age, a call can be a lifeline, a bridge to real connection. So I took the step. That conversation became a turning point, transforming my day from one of isolation to one of shared experience and support.
Rounding out the day, I'll walk you through the simple joys of walking my dogs, the solace of a well-deserved nap, and the creative satisfaction of working on voiceover diagrams for fellow 'vesties'. Finally, I will wrap up the day settling down with my audio book.
Cherish the moments that bring us back to ourselves and to each other, and leave our bad days right where they were.
