believe in me.

another early day on set. started with a coffee. said, “BYE” to Murphy. i always feel bad leaving him. he seems so sad. he’s such a great dog. i love him sooo much. i quickly said, “bye” to Triggy but couldn’t say “BYE” to Taylor as she was still sleeping. Taylor has her first driving lesson today. i am both excited and scared for her. i love her soo much as well. she’s such a great kid who has had to endure a lot in her young life. two parents who are not mentally stable. poor parents. troubled parents not on the same page. loving parents though…i hope that helps in some way.

i love Triggy too but we haven’t had sex in months and we hardly talk. she watches her shows and i read. i want a healthier mindset or, more importantly, i want to be me. my authentic self complete with warts and all. the goal is to be present and not worry what others think.

BE ME.

DO ME.

BE PRESENT.

BE FREE.

change my thinking patterns to accept me as i am. i am a great actor. i am a great person. i am a passionate person. i am an energetic person. i make people laugh. i make people smile. i love life. i love people. i am a caring person. i am a smart person. i am a healthy person (for my age). i run daily (almost). i meditate daily (almost). i write daily. i read daily. i connect daily. i am talented. i am emotional. i am alive. i care about the work. i care about people. i am respectful. i am a good dad. i have overcome so many obstacles and trauma’s in my life.

DO NOT LET THE OPINIONS OF OTHER’S DRAG ME DOWN.

GO FOR IT.

THE TIME IS NOW.

notanotherphony.

sleep.

went to bed early. working on my sleep hygiene. bed early. one beer. one sleeping pill. five anxiety pills. some water. some meditation. a podcast on anxiety. sleep started well but still woke up midway through the night and struggled to get back to sleep. popped an ativan. slowly went back to sleep. many dreams. many times woken up. pee. dream. woken up. not a solid sleep but i am on my way to a pure healthy lifestyle.

eat healthier.

exercise consistently.

sleep better.

i am at rock bottom with my anxiety issues holding me back. stopping me from achieving my goals. stopping me from reaching my potential. feeling free. happy. more money equals more stability. less excessive worry. more love. more balance. more happiness. more confidence. more clarity.

i am still here.

no money in the bank. cheques waiting to come in but the money comes in slower than it goes out. how do we start making more money more consistently? there has to be a way out of this financial mess. keep doing the consistent work. keep up with the morning pages. keep up with the meditation. keep up with the training. really “get on” my notanotherphony work. book an appt with my doctor to see a psychiatrist and accept the long waiting list but if you have no money you have to accept what you get.
