sunrise 9/3/24. i take the long walk in to work, after my 5am workout and cold shower, so i can get roughly 1200 steps in, and soak up the beautiful mountains, and say my affirmations to myself. olivia, you are wonderful and i love you. today is a new day. today is wonderful. i choose to make it so. i love myself therefore i remind myself that each day of this training, whether positive or negative, will make me a better healer for my own future patients. i love myself therefore i remind myself to soften. to remember the bigger picture.
