Checking in again as we near mid January, the goal of brushing my teeth in the morning, and recording gratitudes at night is going very well. I am excited to brush my teeth for 30 days in a row, and to be honest cannot recall the last time I was even able to. Recording gratitudes will hopefully support mental health and cognitive restructuring, if it continues to go well, perhaps next month I can take something that bothered me and turn it into a positive.

Actions per week is sticking close to December’s baseline. This makes me glad, because I feel like I am getting a closer look at my day to day behaviors, and awareness will bring new understanding and opportunities for change. I am looking forward to finishing this month, having both re-established a habit for hygiene and be setting the foundation for one benefitting mental health as well.

There has been significant interpersonal conflict at home recently, and I am glad that despite immediate reaction, I do feel a stronger capability for handling the stress and an acceptance of change. I am glad that the techniques that I have been cultivating these last few years to months seems to be providing advantages in this sphere. Progress continues, as will change.
