Getting your feet under you
I just came across this post by Dan Sinker and it was really timely. With the volume of changes in my life - personally, professionally, and the gestures to the dumpster fire of the state of the world - I have been struggling to balance the want to be prepared with letting my anxiety run unchecked and mentally living in a future state.
I've been hesitant to write down my processing and thoughts because I was afraid things wouldn't be "professional" enough... But I need to write things out for me, not for some imagined audience that doesn't even exist.
So I'm going to work at writing things down more, and trying to keep my mind tidy.
I want... I need to have a space of calm to not only be there as support for the people in my life, but also for the people that need people to have the energy to help push back against the terrible wave that is looming over our heads.
