January 10th 2020: Try acupuncture

I was so excited to try acupuncture until the day started creeping up that I would need to schedule it. I tried to find excuses like do I need to take my shirt off, what if it's a guy? You name it, I considered using it. I know that I'll encounter this issue when it comes time for my mani/pedi challenge. The excuses I'll try to find to give myself permission to avoid what makes me uncomfortable. I've recognized this behavior in myself and I'm actively fighting to change it. I don't think it's fair to deny myself experiences for something my mental health isn't ready for. Besides, I'm not even afraid of needles. Speaking of, I really liked acupuncture. She had me relaxing on my back and focused the needles on my ears, neck, face, and ankles. As she was finishing she put a needle sticker in my ear in what she called "Shen Men" it's something I can press on when I need a little extra calm. It can stay in there for as long as I want. So yeah, I literally have a happy button. I'm eager to go again, I'm glad I didn't stand in my own way. Plus look at how beautiful this place is; I go to this parking lot at least once a month. I've never known there's this beautiful little spot hidden inside the complex.
