2:45 PM: I have a fairly long day ahead of me, lol. To be fair, I woke up at 2 pm, but still only slept for about five and a half hours, as I was doing paperwork until 6 AM. The visceral tightening that accompanies increased stress levels feels like what I imagine it feels like to swallow poison. Reducing the subjective affect with reason has become easier and will be my focus of today. I’ll likely get a good opportunity for practice when I check my phone here in a minute.
3:53 AM: I really did want to get to bed earlier this evening. I got a lot done, including starting my SMART training, but it would have been ideal to have been asleep a few hours ago.
