It was my birthday yesterday and I visited my local plant shop to pick out some plants for my garden. This shop, at least to me, is infamously humid and anytime I've gone in the past I've felt anxious with all the choices that they have to offer. Options give me anxiety because I'm never sure if I'm choosing the "right" thing, but I'm slowly learning the right thing is inherent in my choices. I made it through the shopping trip, not doing ANY checking behaviors and "acting normal" - I picked out some herbs and flowers, and I am particularly excited about this new variety of tomato. Overall, I'm glad to have made it to my birthday! It's been a unique year with my anxiety, but nonetheless I'm so proud of myself for giving myself peace on my birthday. 🍅 They also allow pets in the store so I was able to take my dog Mochi with me!
