grim23I'm coming up on my first quarter of my internship being completed. I've been very busy, and I'm very slow to return emails. I'm working on this, as I can. I believe I am doing fairly well overall at JUH, and I've been involved in research, one individual psychotherapy patient, lots of good clinical assessment and testing, and leading/co-leading various treatment groups.
I've fairly active in the local Masonic Lodge, Biker Church, yoga and cardio kickboxing, and other groups. I've worked out in some fashion about 5-6 days a week. I walk in the sunshine most days at lunchtime. I just found out I did pass my 8th Gup test in Tang Soo Do. I'm stronger, healthier, calmer, and practicing sensing energy from others.
I have spent an afternoon with a martial artist named FifthAngel, and working on being more open and less focused on safety/fear, in different ways.
I'm still working on communication issues, mostly with Tam. I relaxed my training and spoke of a random thought without thinking it through. An affirmation that another friend reminded me of, "speak and act in a measured way", and my current training to only speak in ways that are true, kind, and necessary, are helping me. I'm not beating up on myself for that thought, just acknowledging it and reminding myself to be more aware of myself. At least I noticed the energy shift in her. I'm working on not having expectations, especially of others, and trusting in the Universe.
A quote I am thinking about today, from Martin Luther King, Jr., "Violence is the language of the unheard."
