Today was a good day.

I didn’t let the things that I can’t control consume me as much.

It’s embracing the challenges and knowing what I need to do to protect my mental health and my peace.

It’s knowing that after being at the day program for two decades this week that I am shifting the narrative to what it is instead of wanting to relive the past.

The past doesn’t matter anymore. It’s history.

I cannot change it.

Things change.

Being stuck in the past isn’t helping my relationship with the day program.

I’m there now to work on the skills that I need to have to stay well.

Sometimes change is hard, but day services have always been good to me and I’m in the happiest thought pattern that I’ve been in some time.

Knowing how to manage the stressors and avoid spiraling into where I’ve been from time to time is key right now and I’m at the best place with some of the best staff who genuinely care about the people that they serve.

It’s finding the right fit, understanding that I need support, finding what I need help with and doing things that help develop the skills I need.

It’s what’s working for me right now and that’s what matters.
