It has been a little while since I updated this diary - although lots of action in the meantime
On the basics, I’ve pretty much kept up with daily mediation which is helpful and has been easy to fall back into, I finished us and enjoyed and got a lot out of terry real’s relational life therapy approach, and I’ve also been exercise regularly due to the upcoming run
On broader issues, it’s felt a lot easier to have quite easy emotional regulation. Even when asking for reassurance recently - I felt I did it quickly and in a low stakes manner. although it was received moderately negatively, it still felt like the right action and that ease of reassurance is needed as one navigates multiple partnerships
More broadly, I’ve found it easy to sit in my feelings as I’ve missed them alot and not stress that onto them - letting those emotions resolve internally to not provide stress or expectation elsewhere. I’ve also been good at processing my emotions on other issues and continuing the resolve them internally rather than exercising them externally which may cause distress / be unfair
