Thanksgiving is one of those holidays that give me a weird obligation to be with family. Anxious because the dynamic makes me panic, a simple text to the bros and having them hear my heart brought me back down to earth #miquebros

i’m becoming more aware of when my dad starts spazzing and spiraling. At least in the heat of the moment, I was able to still say “dad the reason im calling is because I miss you and I love you, ok?” relieved to hear him snap out of it and say “I love you too” I’m hopeful for us
my wife and i had tough calls to each of our dads to talk about holidays. very high anxiety situation. when we were done we held each other and she whispered, “we’re gonna be ok, we’re not our dads.”
I thought I was a good host but actually i’m an entertainer. I realsie that i’m putting the focusing on impressing others than I am of loving on my guests. Time to make adjustments, I want my priority to make my guests feel loved than to just entertain.
Got to get better at giving people who I want to include a chance to say no instead of just saying no for them. Especially people with kids, I catch myself thinking, oh they’re too busy for these things. When that’s really not fair for them cause they didn’t get a fair chance.
beauty of having a wife is having a tangible barometer of how your character affects others. It’s easy to shrug off your bad habits cause you excuse your own habits and behaviors everyday. but seeing it affect someone else? It’s a direct mirror to what I need to work on.
I got a stye and so my wife gave me a “warm” towel she watered with “warm” faucet water. Do I… complain that the compress is just wet and not really warm, or be thankful for her trying to help me… p.s writing with one eye open.
I had an anxiety attack I felt it coming like a sneeze. I told wifey, “babe I’m feeling really anxious and insecure” so she snorlaxed me. As I cried and let the emotions run it’s course I was able to externalize my thoughts while she combats them with more loving truths. #loved
As an over functioner, people can’t tell how you’re feeling because it’s disguised by your reaction. They’ll just see how you respond to anxiety. So if your reaction to anxiety is control, or perfection they’ll more likely judge you than empathize for you. #managing#anxiety
I encountered some Titas at my dads church. Unsurprisingly, they poke at my wife’s belly and ask are you going to have kids? immediately I pounce on them firmly, “why would you ask that?” they lean back surprised. “that’s not good auntie that can stress us out, don’t ask that”
