18 turnsWelcome back, Marcus. Last session you mentioned your daughter reached out. How did that land for you over the weekend?
I wrote back. Kept it short like you said. She sent a photo of her kid — my granddaughter — at the park. I haven't seen her in eight months.
That's a real opening. How are you holding that emotionally?
Mixed. Grateful and ashamed at the same time. I missed a lot.
Both can be true. The shame is information, not a verdict. Today's lesson is behavioral activation — scheduling small pleasant activities. Want to anchor it to her, or keep it separate?
Anchor it. If I'm going to earn time with my granddaughter, I need to be someone she can count on.
Then let's pick three activities for this week. Small. Things you can do whether you're motivated or not.
Garden — Tuesday and Thursday after work. Walk with my sponsor on Saturday. And honestly, just cooking a real meal instead of takeout.
Good — concrete and tied to people. What's the smallest version of each, in case you're running on empty?
Garden — even fifteen minutes pulling weeds counts. Walk — even just to the end of the block. Cooking — eggs and toast.
That's exactly the move. Activity first, motivation follows. Any obstacles you can name in advance?
Friday. Friday is always the wall.
Let's pre-load Friday then. What does Friday look like if you script it the night before?
Meeting at seven. Drive there with the radio loud. Garden after. Bed by ten.
Locked in. How's your sleep been this week?
Better. Five, six hours. Not great but not three.
Trending up. Anything you want to flag for Dr. Patel before we close?
Just that I'm 49 days in. And I want to make 90.
