Oh cool! I just ordered some fenugreek on Amazon, so looking forward to seeing what effects I get now lol. Thank you for mentioning it
Also I'm grateful for cancelling my annual dentist checkup appointment that was scheduled this week. I saw this dentist the last 2 years and never felt comfortable with him, he was overly chatty as well when I just wanted to go get my stuff done and leave. I was racking my brain for an excuse to give when the receptionist called to confirm the appointment. I just told her I'm canceling and no longer coming back...I never need to give an excuse and I'm glad I didn't.

^^^i heard there was an issue with dentist and SA. So good thing you canceled. You should alway listen to your gut.
I’m grateful for my spiritual practice. I went to a full moon meditation tonight. I’ve never felt so relaxed in my life. I highly recommend them if you have meditation center near by.
People can make fun of me for being woo woo, but my spiritual practice makes me a better person. I think I have a healthy spiritual perspective. I don’t ever get in the conspiracy theory and fruity stuff. I just do my best to stay away from the fruit loops and have a healthy spiritual perspective and not spiritually bypass real life problems or “spiritualize” on people.

I'm happy that I've had the past year or so in my car to myself. I realize I've had a look within and heal a lot of things, and with this lunar eclipse, I'm hoping to close a chapter and start a fresh, new one.
I had an epiphany tonight why I've been taking so much time to myself, not making friends or dating or trying to find a guy or anything like that. It's because this is a Time for me to do what's known as cocooning. It's something a lot of people do after experiencing trauma as a way of healing oneself so that one day, hopefully soon, I can emerge as a butterfly. Seems like a lot of people are going through the same thing I am.

It's cozy. Who cares if I'm here alone ? I'll chill and run the day entirely on my schedule.

FINALLY getting the hang of this damn job and hitting my professional goals.
It’s super busy at the workplace and I acquired overtime and some bonuses so I’m glad my check is the highest it’s been since starting.
If I didn’t have to work tomorrow I’d pop some champagne

Grateful for my lunch today which was super nutritious, healthy, and not even $6! It it was an Autumn broccoli salad with sweet potatoes and other stuff and this Greek yogurt that tastes like apple pie. Amazing! And a probiotic grape ollipop

Managed to get myself approved for a new credit card. The limit isn't very high (and that's good, I don't trust myself with anything too high), but it'll help me finally get my car registered. I can't keep letting it go.

I had a great day at clinicals today. Everyone has been really nice to me. Maybe vanilla people aren’t all that bad after all.
I’m really grateful I’m alive. Seeing people sick and dying makes me realize how blessed I really am and is a great reminder to be present and enjoy the journey. None of us make it out alive.

Compliments from women are the best. That’s nice. I’ve taken a liking to the male nurses. Not in a romantic way, but they’re not sleezy like men from the clubs. It restores my faith in men. I love Gen Z men. They tend to be more progressive.

Excited to see some new shows/movies.

Grateful to have food, water, and shelter. Listened to a show on NPR about a man who risked his like to go to Europe for a better life. Global warming destroyed his farm. Although America has problems, I’m grateful I was born here. America is worth fighting for and so is humanity.

Grateful for the kindness of strangers. Yesterday I was in a hurry and forgot my handbag in the shopping cart in the grocery store parking lot! I drove off without it, realize what happened, and then turn around and raced back. Turned out that somebody found it and turned it into the manager at the store, who verified my name and gave it back to me. Nothing was taken. Then I was driving to do another delivery when the trunk of my car flew open, but I did not receive any notifications on my dashboard about it. So I drove a good 5 minutes with my trunk wide open, when finally someone told me at a red light that my trunk was open. Put it in park and then got out of the car to slam the trunk shut. Nothing fell out of my trunk either! My Angels were watching out for me yesterday! Also, today I have a job interview scheduled with the doordash warehouse near me. I would be able to work a job doing pretty much what I do now except I won't be driving around. I'm pretty certain I will get it.

So far the creep is leaving me alone. If he does show up, all I'd have to do is call LE. The maintenance men are next door working on the empty apartment next door. They know about the situation too so the creep trying to pull any shit wouldn't fly.

The manager popped in and told me I was hitting my professional goals. So I’m thankful I went from feeling like a complete newbie mess to helping lead the team.
Im manifesting my bonuses and money to fund my independent business ventures.
Thankful about the items I procured from Amazon and a trip Im about to embark on shortly

I’m grateful I have a job that allows me to focus on school. I see my classmates coming in with literally no sleep. I’m happy to have a job that allows me to self care than the typical nursing student. I’m grateful I have a job that allows me to manifest abundance in such a short time compared to vanilla work.
Of course stripping has its negatives but overall stripping allows me to life life on my terms and for that I’m grateful

What did you do that made it so great?
Mainly because I didn't have to do anything specific, no travel, nothing scheduled besides the usual stuff. I've done like 7 trips to California since August.. Quality time with my partner ;)
Being in between two competitions, that time is always tough so I was happy to have an open schedule.

I'm grateful for my virtual grief group.
The upcoming holiday next week is triggering my feelings of loss.
There was a new attendee who had just lost his wife of 40 years to cancer.
He could barely speak because he was so choked up.
He said that right after she passed, he had a stroke from all of the grief.
It was good for me to hear about this intense love.
Because all I hear everyday on cam and phone is how much men hate their partners and how they love cheating on them.

I saw a video from a creator I admire last night, where she's talking about how she usually doesn't mention it because she mostly has her "shit together" now, but she used to have debilitating depression. And now she's overcome it (mostly). I've never seen someone say that they managed to overcome depression and "become obsessed with themselves" which is how she described it. It gave me hope. I hope she gets a positive enough response to share some strategies she used.

^^^in my opinion, a lot of depression is a symptom of oppression. I know a lot of people who have healed themselves with mind body medicine. I plan on being a mind body practitioner. Definitely follow medical advice, but you definitely can heal yourself. Google Dr. Kim D Eramo
I’m gonna start posting videos on mind body medicine soon.
Also, I’m grateful I had a good weekend. I made my rent money so I can focus on school.
Thank god! All I do is grind and pray. It’s scary to not if im gonna make it. I’m really living in a prayer right now.

^^I 100% believe that a lot of depression is circumstantial/based on environment/lifestyle factors/stress/relationships/money/trauma/etc. It's the main reason I've avoided medication so long. I'm not anti-meds, but I don't think any pill is going to make me forget all the things I dislike about my life/past/society. I'm still going to give them a try to see if they help with energy/focus at all, but I also need a new therapist. I didn't like my last one.

I 1000% agree. It’s no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Jiddu Krishnamurti
Speaking of in class today, I get so upset that western medicine has such bias. The health care system is patriarchal and hierarchal. I know better than you and do as I say. It’s so frustrating to me as an alternative healer.
So this to shall pass love. I hope you start feeling better. Chronic Depression/Anxiety is the worst. You just take it one day out of time and if you get out of bed, shower, and go to work than give yourself a pat on the back. Eventually you keep doing self care, and things usually get better.
I guess I can be grateful I’m not as depressed as I use to be. I use to have horrible depression where I couldn’t get out of bed. I’m really grateful that I never gave up and I’m a fighter. I’m sad to say most people who went through what I went through wouldn’t be alive. I just can be grateful I’m still here.

I love Focus groups! They are godsends. I do those every chance I can get. They're fun to do and are easy money.
Grateful for my purchases from Dollar Tree today. I got a lot of things that I needed. I'm grateful for safe parking for giving me a Thanksgiving goodie bag full of canned goods and other goodies. Some of it I don't eat so I will probably donate it to people I see on the street. They will definitely appreciate it.
I should also be receiving my California stimulus soon. And my payment from the cruise line commercial.
