Dear Self,
This week you will:
Reduce the times you get so frustrated you yell and get stressed. You will diffuse these mental flare-ups with positive thinking, changing scenery, and good old fashion self-restraint.
Write, write, write. New goal is to revise 10 pages a day, which admittedly is a lot with a baby in your arms and other little ones clamoring for your attention. However, without a goal, shit won’t get done. 10. Try to do more.
Try to relax. This is not a word you seem to have in your vocabulary, but it is one you need to quickly adopt. Call it part of your mental health therapy. Can’t be stressing about perfection all the time.
Signed,
Your Observing Ego
