So I laughed along with Lisa in therapy today because I made a very big deal about needing to be home and not spending the night at my sisters even though she was going to help me do my hair because of the effect spending the night there has on my ability to be my best at therapy. Ironically I struggled to sleep at home. However I had a wonderful session today so much to be grateful for and mostly I was thrilled to just let go and be myself! Was nice to take a moment and kind of refresh my memory of things Lisa has taught me over the years as far as having a bedtime routine I love yoga and meditation but struggle with being consistent. There was something about being able to share with her my version of what she has taught me! Funny how a little thing like bringing up that I play on my phone too much and it's hard at night to ignore it sometimes but I use it for an alarm clock so I don't want to turn it off completely. Lisa talked about apps and things that filter out the blue light and I was completely unaware that my phone actually has a filter for blue light and I know it's something silly but I think it could make a huge difference and sometimes I learn awesome random things that have nothing to do with therapy from Lisa but they really help a lot!
