Great advice. I haven't had a day off since July, so every morning when I wake up, my first thought is "FUUUUCK I WANT TO QUIT"

Then I catch that shit and tell myself "it'll be alright, the new job is great, the paycheck will be phat, the cute waitress might work tonight, might trade some cool tips with the other chef, hang in there"

This is honestly so helpful to me that I could cry right now.

I use, "really? Youre over thinking again with a situation that doesnt even exist even if its yet?" I remind myself that coming up with fictional stories is great but the whole things that could happen irl random anxious and stressfull and detailed thinking isnt the same as a story. Story i can enjoy.

So instead i try to categorize all my thoughts in order to move into a different thinking that isnt toxic but keeps my mind occupied. Px i feel so aware.
