“Denied Again”
I filled out the forms, I made all the calls,
I waited on hold through bureaucratic walls.
My kid needs a doctor, not just any kind,
But a specialist, rare — and they're hard to find.
"Not in-network," they say with a shrug,
Like I'm asking too much, like it's me on the drug.
They shuffle my file from desk to desk,
Meanwhile the pain grows grotesque.
Referrals take months, if they even go through,
The hoops I must jump are Olympic too.
State insurance — a blessing? Depends who you ask,
For me, it’s a punishment wrapped in red tape and a mask.
They say healthcare’s a right, but I smell the lie,
When the forms pile high and my patience runs dry.
They approve the basics, deny the rest,
And gamble my health like it’s some kind of test.
So here’s to the gatekeepers, smug in their chair,
Deciding who gets help, and who gets despair.
This system is broken, in need of repair,
Because needing a specialist shouldn’t lead to despair.

No, you need motivation. And, if you,re using positive motivation, then you need to find motivation through a passionate reason to complete the task.
Usually, this can be found by asking .. How does this help me achieve my long term goal? ..

Think of the past as that one person who wants to hurt you over and over again. If you wouldnt let them hurt you, then why give the past in your memories to hurt you again and again?
Remind yourself that you,re here in the present, and you have better options to preoccupy your interests.

Identifying Feelings
There are two tricks I learned to label feelings
use emojies to draw out what the face looks like for a specific feeling.
distinguish between a feeling and a thought.
To distinguish between a feeling and a though, use the phrase I feel ____ vs I feel like ____.
The first blank refers to a feeling. The 2nd blank refers to a thought.
Examples:
I feel happy vs I feel like that would be fun.
I feel sad vs I feel like that's sad.
I feel tired vs I feel like sleeping.
I feel cement vs I feel like cement.
I feel great vs I feel like that's great.
I feel crap vs I feel like crap vs I feel like that's crap.
I feel false vs I feel like that's false
As you can see, using the emotion after the word like, doesn't make the sentence sound right. Thus, we need to change either the word we use to refer to the emotion, or we need to refer to an action we are planning to undertake.
Using this method should help you quickly identify the emotions you are feeling, and express them correctly for others to understand your situation. And, when in doubt, use an emoji. And, if there isn't one that reflects your current state, then create one.
