Freewrite Rejuvenate!
After doing the freewrite I almost feel like I just got out of a therapy session. All of my problems that I am facing were just blurted out on paper. Although there was quite a list of things, they seemed more manageable because they are listed out on paper.
One apparent thing in my freewrite is that I am impatiently awaiting the birth of my new niece. My sister is 39 weeks pregnant (40 weeks on Tuesday Oct. 9th), and we are so excited to greet my niece when she comes. My sister and I are very close and she wants me to be present at the time of the birth. Although I am honored that she would ask and overjoyed to share that beautiful experience with her, I am also full of worry and scared to watch her endure so much pain, (As a mother myself, I know the pain endured with childbearing). So, the wait continues. I'm positive she will be worth the wait!
Also, this week I went to the doctor because I was sure that I have attention deficit disorder (new finding) and I went in for an evaluation. The doctor heard my concerns, but informed me that she feels that I do not have ADD, but in fact am overwhelmed. She referred me to a psychologist and recommended that I quit my job if I could financially afford to do so.
Then there is the existing issue, and that is that I am struggling with getting my homework and readings done. I lack the ability to manage my time in a productive way.
On a positive note, this week my husband and I have signed up and are committing to joining to the local biggest loser competition. This is a great step to bettering our health and lives. Not to mention, getting paid to lose weight!
The freewrite for me was great, and I feel like if I could make the time to do it once a week, it would work as great therapy for me. I am able to get out my feelings that I do not usually bring to surface or address, and bring them out to the forefront.
