I’m going to tell you a secret. I do a lot of self regulation on a regular basis. I’m impatient. Intense. Driven. Short tempered. There is no universe where I fully relax. I don’t sleep for more than 4 hours at a time. My brain is both exhausted and unable to switch to screensaver mode.
That’s why something is always in the background where I am. The same 8 tv shows. Anthony Bourdain speaking. Otherwise, there is an overflow of thoughts that are rarely productive or helpful. I am actively working on it but it’s still in progress.
Then there’s music. I have a playlist for most things. Right now I like yell-y things. One of these songs is Taylor Swift’s Florida.
Well, me and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time
Yes, I’m haunted but I’m feeling just fine
All my girls got their lace and their crimes
I will sing it in between meetings, in the car, in the shower. It’s just so damn satisfying. -J
