Week 4, Day 6

Today I've felt an underlying pit of anxiety all day and I'm not sure exactly why. It's starting to get rather annoying and I wish it would just go away. I feel like I need to do something really creative to get it out of my system. I have an idea of a painting floating around in my head. Tomorrow for my "artist's date", I plan to go and buy paints, and get it out of my head. There is a 4 ft by 4 ft canvas dancing in my head.

Morning Pages

CHECK.

Tomorrow has come so quickly this week. I have to finish up two exercises along with the artist's date. I think with this process, simply the morning pages are what has really helped me the most.

The urge to drink has pretty much completely gone away, but when I get stressed out, a cigarette is my first craving. I can almost taste the smoke on my lips and feel it lowering my heart rate. I've never really been a smoker, just when I feel something that I want to go away. Escapes become harder when you latch up all the doors.
