Jared started each morning abruptly. He woke, or tried to wake up silently, getting out of bed not to wake up his wife, or there kids. He had on a good day about 2 hours of alone time. He didn't do anything special during this time, like he read about famous basketball players that would train early he didn't do that. He mostly just watched his clips. Short little videos, but his favorite, he made different playlists he'd call them. For awhile he did that for each day, but recently he started to do it more for feelings. Something his therapist suggested.
"If you're feeling upset, maybe you can listen to videos that calm you, or allow you to be angry. If you feeling anxious do the same thing, but don't forget about happy, also make a playlist for that."
With that she smiled and looked at her watch.
"Okay thats about all the time we have for this session. See you next week, okay?"
He left and went home and started to make the playlists. First thats all he used his personal time for. Arranging and rearranging videos. Adding one of dancing next to a comedy one. Mixing some with all the same song, just different dancers together.
Most of his time was spent just doing this.
But this Monday would be different, he could finally enjoy them before he had to take the kids to school and before his next session with Dr. Carol.
