10 things I learned from doing an hourly Gratitude List
That was hard work
1. My focus was on the list
It was more like a job. It was hard.
2. I broke down for the 1st time in months
I was up at 6:45 @ school @ 7:30. Hung out with kids for 8 hours and then sat people at a restaurant for 4 more. I am burning out. I am leading a double life.
3. I love my school but I can't fake being Catholic
My school is AMAZING! I realized that yesterday. The administration will do anything for a student or teacher. The families are the most caring and sincere. They are involved. It literally feels like a family. My job is relatively easy. I just can't work for $34k. Rent for a 1 bedroom is 1k a month. My car lease is almost $300 a month and insurance is $100 a month. I can't. I am trying but I don't have days off.
4. I have all the things I need
I'm ok
5. I was still angsty
My mood didn't really change but I'm better today so maybe that's the result.
6. Good coworkers make life great
You are with them a lot. They should really be great!
7. Sometimes I just want to be mad
I got angry I had to be grateful.
8. Using the gratitude muscle is hard
I guess I need to use it more
9. I wanted to finish the list in the first 10 minutes
I didn't want to think about it
10. Its more fun when you have a friend responding to your list
I'll do it with a friend
