3. TODAY'S SELF OBSERVATION
Today is likely to be the "calm before the storm" as tomorrow I have a grievance to fight at the Weekend Job that I thought I had already won. I will need to summon all my powers of grounding and focus to stop my resentment  spoiling today, which promises to a good one.  

The ability to compartmentalize issues into times and spaces is essential to wellbeing, and doesn't come naturally to me! I have to work at it. Since my current theme and objective happens to be grounding and focus anyway, this will be a good test of my progress.
