A thread of things I'm grateful for from 2021

1. My meditation and circling friends who talked me through many, many, many hard days in the first 4-5 months of the year

2. Journaling. This was the first year where I wrote a ton about how I felt, often in real time. I expressed things I'd literally never been able to before, and a lot of good came of that

3/ - Mark and I have been talking weekly for more than a year now, and with his help I started to release some of deep deep pushing I do that makes me miserable (less and less tho!)

4/ I think I'm gonna keep coming back to stuff around expressing feelings. So here I'll put my experience with circling, which let me actually put words to what I felt and trust that that was worth doing

5/ Doing NEDERA. I cried so much this year and it actually really helped. At the start of 2021 I was pretty skeptical of the classic "trauma processing" models, but yeah... I've seen it help me

I used to go to Central Park at night and sit on the grass and do NEDERA sessions where I'd cry, talk to myself, laugh, sing, whatever I needed to do. It kept me sane and kept me moving forward even when things felt awful

And eventually it made a lot of amazing things possible later in the year
(Lol at "eventually" referring to a few months)

6/ - thanks for the coaching sessions and the half-coaching-session-half-hangouts and all the conversations we've had over text. You're a big inspiration to me.
I feel like I used to have a hard time talking to you; it's been cool to see that change
