Dear Lily:

“I am proud that I did not let it ruin my day and moved on from painful feelings”- this is the significant progress I mentioned in my earlier post to you today. I am proud of you too!!!

“to break the cycle more: distressing situation-> elevated distress-> self blame/ distressing thoughts-> pause, challenge thoughts, correct thoughts, see the bigger picture-> lower distress.

Drawing to the sound of inspirational music- do continue drawing, relax even more into it, relax and express yourself authentically. Make yourself shine inside-out through your drawings.

I hope you have a good night.
