Welcome back! Today is Tuesday, week 8, of this individual journey.

Let’s start off by saying: I LOVE TECHNOLOGY. 
I love where our world finds ways to develop and how we learn to adapt to our own ideas.

Now, the statement seems a lot bigger than the actual why will be, but the sentiment and appreciation is real.
Yesterday, I was in a bit of a rut and needed a change. I have been putting off cleaning my room for a while – the deep clean, donate everything, kind – and I felt a deep desire to do something about it. At the same time, I still really need to keep reading about stress and personality types to stay up to date with my project.

I ended up buying audio books, which I listened to while cleaning my room.
It was one of the most relaxing experiences I’ve had in a very long time. The combination of creating a clean space, while listening to a calm voice talking about my personality… Heaven. Absolute heaven. 
At the end of my deep clean, I had finished Tyler Bordan’s “Introvert” and am halfway through “Why should extroverts make all the money?” by Marsha Boone Kelley.

It’s a bit sad to say that I can only find the time, or concentration, to listen to books, instead of reading them. But I have never been a huge book reader, even when I love the content. 
So I consider this 1,5 book in one day a HUGE success, and another happy step in the right direction for me.

Speaking of successes: 
Today was a big day. I spend most of the day just doing some work, nothing special.
But at night, I had to go to one of my clients to discuss some issues with their social media accounts and make some plannings for the future.

A little introduction:
The last time I met up with them (same time, same setting, same preparation), I ended up drinking a coffee during the meeting, going home nauseous, and being awake all night afterwards feeling extremely sick. This was somewhere end last years. 
This time, I chose a tea – because I was less tired – and had no issues at all. Of course, I was cautious and took some small mental breaks in between, but the results speak for themselves!
I came home afterwards, able to still eat something, and go to bed calmly. What a difference!

My situation has not been fun, and after a small calculation I figured out not-fun has been going on for 7 months, but I can see the progress and I can see myself slowly healing.
Steps back are not enjoyable, but the journey is SO worth it. 
They might be very hard learned lessons, but I am beyond thrilled to see myself developing and learning along the way.
