Notes
- went over the free webinar coaching mindset videos by Rob Dial on Facebook this morning and took notes
- nothing super surprising in there for me, but I did get some insight on how the comfort zone works with the subconscious and why it’s self limiting
- I did finally understand why the fear of success is truly a thing
- since we all believe to some extent at our core that we are not enough, the fear of success stems from the belief that we even though we might be fully capable of getting there, we aren’t capable of staying there
- THIS resonated with me deeply since how often has some part of me said, “Why try if I can’t keep it?”
- this is a part of me that needs to change

Today’s Feelings

Notes
- Therapy Tuesday
- Little Bear and my dad got into a fight – over my damn blanket downstairs
- come to find out my son didn’t realize the blanket was mine and that I had two of them that looked alike and was trying to explain we had one like it already upstairs
- Dad wasn’t taking the time to listen to what my son was saying and just blew up at him for not following instructions right away
- needless to say… they both blew up at each other
- none of this would have happened if someone had taken the time to just LISTEN instead of focusing on being RIGHT

Today’s Feelings
- ups and downs today, but ended happy
Notes
- dinked around on an astrology website all day – could not focus on anything productive
- had a brief argument/misunderstanding with Tuxedo Cat’s father over the conversation that occurred Sunday this week
- I thought he was taking it back, so I spiraled into a panic which in turn made him feel attacked
- we not only got sorted but also addressed the imbalance of unmet needs
- when you score a 11/12 in one of the love languages it’s a serious need for that person
- it basically means that if love isn’t expressed in that way, it’s not real
- specifically for me with Words of Affirmation: if emotions are not put into words, they’re not real
- and I’ve learned this is the primary way I avoid dealing with my shit: by not naming and claiming what I feel
- so yes, hearing “I love you” is as much of a basic need for me as needing a hug
- there isn’t a special reason or a trigger for it
- it’s just a need I have
- these words are ultra rare in my parents’ home for some reason
- even to each other
- hell, feelings are rarely spoken at all
- specifically for me with Words of Affirmation: if emotions are not put into words, they’re not real
- it basically means that if love isn’t expressed in that way, it’s not real
