Day 3 (just starting)
Here I am, wishing that I have the strength today to finish this bootcamp as a goal. I am trying to tap into the anterior midcingulate cortex and get through this seemingly arduous task while strengthening my reserve. I am also going to set another reward as the one I did yesterday proved to be a positive experience. I think I am going to get a new book from BMV (this one looks fun and I think my partner learnt it in school in his home country so I have someone to talk to about it ~ and I believe it can also help me understand another book I am reading: Way of Integrity by Martha Beck as she refers to it quite a bit).

From yesterdays reward (a walk in the sun for working towards finishing this bootcamp), I ended up deciding to bring my cat with me. We crossed paths with a neighbor for the first time. We initially connected through our shared experiences with cats, then we shared our experiences of how it is a nightmare to work our own property in a city with major restrictions, and lastly shared wishes that we would connect in the future. All good things. 

Let's see if my hard work today is deserving of another reward.
