What am I feeling right now?
Right now, I’m feeling refreshed, tired, and a little anxious.
I took a shower not long ago, and I’m finishing the last task of my day.
Most of the anxiety I’m experiencing comes from my tendency toward health anxiety. It can be frustrating noticing every small sensation and feeling tempted to assume something is wrong.
As I think about it, I believe much of my health anxiety comes from a fear of death and a fear of not being in control.
That thought also makes me think about life itself.
I believe that when we’re truly living with purpose, we spend less time consumed by fear and more time making the most of the days we’ve been given.
That’s the kind of life I want to build.
How did I approach the day?
I think I approached today well.
Work went smoothly overall. I felt focused throughout the morning and stayed engaged during meetings and conversations with others.
What is one thing I completed today?
One thing I completed today was installing the software needed to support backup KDS servers at locations that were missing it.
That moves our team one step closer to providing better redundancy in the event of a primary system failure.
Today reminded me that the goal isn’t to eliminate every anxious thought. The goal is to continue living intentionally, even when those thoughts are present.
