00:00:12 --> 00:00:13 Hello,

00:00:24 --> 00:00:29 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48 I've mentioned recently that I've been going through a gauntlet lately.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52 It feels as though there are various issues needing to be dealt

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 with on the daily

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57 in almost every aspect of my life.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:02 Since I've also mentioned that built into some subtypes of OCD

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04 is the avoidance aspect,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 you can see how trying to address some of the conflicts and

00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 chaos swirling around

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 me would be challenging and uncomfortable.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15 But so was the chaos.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:22 So after a particularly difficult day, I had just had enough.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27 Not only did I firmly reset boundaries,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28 I calmly,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 concisely,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:34 and clearly labeled consequences for breaching them and posted

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35 the road markers so

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 others knew where the boundary lines were.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:44 This was long overdue and so very freeing.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:45 Further,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49 others who were aware of it were helped by having it modeled

00:01:49 --> 00:01:50 for them.

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 Most importantly to me,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:59 I felt I did it in a God-honoring way while being true to my needs.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04 It has given me the mental reprieve I've needed for a while.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:09 While I know this hard-won euphoria can't last forever,

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14 I do think the refresher courses recently on firming up filters

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15 and boundaries

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20 while visiting the episodes on mini-oases and looking at calming chaos—

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23 and recognizing executive functioning deficits,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27 combined with better sleep because of my binaural beats

00:02:28 --> 00:02:29 playlist and my new sleep mask,

00:02:30 --> 00:02:35 are finally working together in concert to help bolster my mental health.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39 Our Momoism for today says,

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43 being proactive about your needs may seem like a daunting task,

00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 but once on the other side,

00:02:46 --> 00:02:49 you may wonder what took you so long.

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53 If you've ever addressed something you dreaded and avoided,

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 how did you overcome the fear?

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58 And how did it turn out for you?

00:02:59 --> 00:03:00 Chime in below.
