Today was one of those days where nothing particularly remarkable happens. Nothing too good and nothing too bad. Frankly, after the roller coaster of the last few weeks, it was AWESOME! So, my three positives for the day were more than easy to devise:
1. Sent in my application for my adult ballet class after a conversation with the really lovely training co-ordinator. My childhood dream to do ballet is now a tangible thing! Well, at least the attending the ballet classes is, I suspect the teachers might differ on whether or not my attempts are actually remotely ballet-like! Still, I get to buy some new shoes and they're thankfully not expensive at all.
2. I made a new work friend. Sort of. Another assistant whose name I sadly have completely forgotten. She seems really nice, if a little serious, but she will provide me with some much needed company over the next few weeks.
3. I'm trying something new for dinner. Its currently in the oven and it smells absolutely amazing. So looking forward to something that's not pasta and sauce or stir fry!
4. I completely stuck to my health-kick fat-loss plan. No deviations and no money spent on Costa despite feeling very much like I want one.
5. Sorted out Friday night. Cheap, local drinks with Bea. :-)
6. I stayed an extra hour and a half and got about 20% of my data entry and mailing prep done for the project I'm working on that seems to have been a bit of a dud in terms of gaining broader research skills and getting myself better known by people who may have some influence on my future.
7. New episodes of 2 of my current preferred programmes will be downloaded by the time I finish writing this blog.
8. #7 means I will get to finish my day giggling - just the way I like to!
9. Nearly forgot this one - got squeezed into a free half day workshop on a 3rd wave therapy that is perfectly timed for interview prep, but also for helping me be more resilient and deal with any further disappointments that may come my way this year.
Wow, that's quite a list! I can't believe that within days of having my dreams possibly put on the back burner for a year I'm feeling this positive! I can only wonder if doing something like this would have helped me through difficult situations in the past. My challenge is to keep it up at least until after I have the results of my interview. If it can help me get through a negative outcome from that without me collapsing into a heap of self-pity for a few weeks I will certainly be thinking more about incorporating it into therapy in general.
