Ups and Downs

I just journaled about how yesterday was a bit of a challenge.

I won't go into details about it here, but maybe the takeaway is that I should consider writing first thing in the morning.

That way, whatever happens during the day, which may affect my mood and therefore willingness to write or journal, won't deter me from doing so.

What I can share is that a recent challenge for me has been to strike a good balance between feeling up with highs are high, and managing the circumstances and feelings when the downs are low.

And as much as I can/want/know, detaching my feelings or sense of responsibility from however those closest to me feel, at a certain moment in time. This has been really hard!
