Yes a check in before 10:00 am. Another small win. lol 📅 Daily Check-in - July 10, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Right now I feel overwhelmed and happy. At a stadium with several thousand people for our convention. I had my in-laws in the car with me and my youngest. Wife and oldest came earlier. My youngest backed all his clothing. Had everything picked out, and left his dress shirts at home. He’s autistic, so a little panic from him. I had a shirt he could use and wash. Everything ok after that. Sitting in seats. Too many people, but it will be worth it. One small win is I made it here without freaking out while driving with all the cars.

I found the 6 week bridge worksheet. That was a difficult one, because it felt like, "this is it. It's all over." But it's not. This is just the beginning. I've learned more than I thought I did. I'm sure most here could attest to that. So as not to turn this in to a typical Shawn post, I'm stopping here. The rest is from the worksheet. Thank you Skool Community, @Jim Ebbelaar , and Jim's Twin. I still have all of you, and hope to continue. At the same time, I've learned things I didn't know 6 weeks ago, including self confidence. Trusting in it is another, but I know I can do that too. As Jim's Twin keeps brining up, that on one of the most difficult days of my life, having to put our dog down 6 weeks after one of our others died, and still show up for a check in. I may be stronger than I think I am. Time will tell, but I'm leaning towards that I must be. Otherwise, why would I be saying this and putting it in writing. I'm making myself accountable. So I lied, I had a few more words to add. This is me shutting up. The rest, is my 6 Week Bridge synopsis: Six weeks done. I came in half-sure it was a scam and going to bed at 4am. I'm leaving with a real bed time, a comeback protocol that's actually just showing up here every day, and one line I'm keeping: I made mistakes, but I am not the mistake. Next up is the hard conversation with my dad. Slow, steady, scared, doing it anyway.

📅 Daily Check-in - July 7, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Well today was a day full of rabbit holes that I had to dig my way out of. I was so distracted, I'd start a task, then think I must go and look that thing up, only to discover some time later that I've fallen into a rabbit hole. I've been messaging my eldest and trying not to shed tears as I hear about his homesickness while in Christchurch. My youngest is feeling lost without his brother and really misses him. I've been dealing with all sorts of bits and pieces throughout the day. I even took my youngest shopping for Pokemon cards for both him and his older brother. It was like he was vaccinated with a gramophone needle - he just wouldn't stop talking. I got lost after the first couple of sentences, talking about Pokemon characters/cards and it just sounds like a different language. But it was just lovely listening to his vibrant chatter!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 5/10 ⭐ Average: 5/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🍬 No Added Sugar 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning

Grief is something that I didn't really recognize before coming here. And I'm finally trying to understand and process it now, at the fresh age of 41 lol. I've been dancing since I was 3 years old. In the last 1 to 2 years, I've developed health issues that greatly affect my ability. I thought that I was going to have to quit. But, it's such a part of my identity, I'm afraid that I won't know who I am without it. So, I've just been pushing on, while beating myself up inside for feeling not good enough. After rehearsal last night, (which ended with me face planting into the floor as a lift fell out, after I already had to take a break due to my spinal injury), I spent some time with myself. And I grieved the dancer that I was. I'm not sure that I've actively done this yet. Perhaps I have done some subconsciously, but I don't think that I have really fully done it consciously. And I still need to work through it more. But, I'm glad that I finally recognized that I need to fully grieve it, so that I can start to accept the dancer that I am now.

📅 Daily Check-in - July 9, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Right now I feel overwhelmed. We are going out of town today for a few nights to attend our Regional Convention. Last night, there was a leak under our kitchen sink. It was dirty water from the dishwasher. Found the issue., wasn't the dishwasher connection, but the drain connection had come undone slowly. Floor of the cabinet is soaked, and being particle board, absorbed the water, sagged, and so blocked the sink so no one uses it. We're out of town, so we'll leave fans running while we are gone. Then had a therapy session, and totally forgot about Q&A today. That was a bummer. So much happened this week. I hope to come back encouraged from the convention on Monday, and then fix the sink." 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 🎯 Focus: 6/10 😌 Calmness: 6/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 8/10 🔥 Motivation: 6/10 ⭐ Average: 6.5/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 🛏️ Good Sleep 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine ⏰ Intermittent Fasting 💊 Took Supplements 🙏 Prayer ✨ Positive Mindset 📵 No Social Media 📅 No Meetings 🎸 Skill Practice 👂 Active Listening 📖 Bible Reading
