I've had one of the most difficult weeks in a very long time. Like exhausting on every level sort of difficult.

One thing that I've noticed, that is making me pause and really feel how incredible life-lessons and personal growth can be, is how differently I am handling and coping with this magnitude of stress.

I am a HUGE emotional reactor. Always have been and still struggle greatly when my triggers get flipped. But actively engaging in the process of parcelling out those parts of my psyche that react to stress in such a knee-jerk manner has been an incredible journey.

So right now what is on my mind is that I am feeling pretty darned proud of myself for breathing instead of reacting.

Baby steps!
