Personal Note/Goals
Lastly, I can’t forget about self in November. I have been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching. I have a few facets in my life that I want to change. First how I deal with my own stress, and anxiety. To mention, as much as I preach about going to therapy I really did not take in consideration of myself. I am all about self care is doing things on my own.
Thus, it is certain things that I just can’t iron out on my own, so I am going to get some help. I have been talking about if for years now. Finally, I put forth the effort to finding a therapist. I have narrow my search down. I have 3 therapist that I am going to reach out to, TODAY to see if I can set up an appointment to set down and talk.
On the contrary, my career as mortgage underwriter is starting to get a bit better. I am still struggling through the growing pains however, thankful that I did step outside my comforter zone.I will always being proud of myself for stepping out off, and pushing through fear.
