Summary
I've been in and out of therapy over the last decade, but the years I've spent with my current therapist have taught me more than all the rest combined. Over our sessions, I've noticed the same core principles and ideas coming up time and time again, so today I have compiled them into this episode. The top lessons I've learned in therapy - use these as journal prompts, bring them up in your own sessions, or simply have a think about them - they've helped me so much and I hope they help you.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome. My name is Mary and I'm the host of Prologs, a lifestyle podcast where each |
| 0:19.2 | episode is like a digital journal entry |
| 0:21.0 | detailing whatever it is I'm going through in life at the moment. I talk about my journey |
| 0:25.1 | with mental health, relationships, wellness, beauty, personal development, and more. So join me |
| 0:30.6 | every Monday morning for a reminder that we're all still figuring out life for the first time, |
| 0:35.0 | and you are still in the beginning of your personal story. |
| 0:44.2 | Hello and welcome to another episode of prologs. I feel like right now is a great time to have a 2025 catch-up because we're a little bit more settled into the start of the new year. |
| 0:48.7 | The buzz from the holidays and from New Year's has settled down and so has the buzz from |
| 0:53.5 | making resolutions. So how are we doing? |
| 0:56.0 | I would say for myself, I've really enjoyed having my slow start to the year. I'm so glad that I've |

| 1:05.2 | So my hobbies are going well. The second episode of this season was all about how you need to find a |
| 1:09.8 | hobby. So I thought I'd update you on that because it's really easy to get into a hobby quickly. |
| 1:15.3 | Spend money on new supplies, maybe, or get fired up about it, throw yourself into it, and then lose interest. |
| 1:21.0 | So I wanted to give you an update. |
| 1:22.2 | I'm doing well. |
| 1:23.5 | I've been committed to piano. |
| 1:25.1 | I'm learning, I would say, at a decent pace. |
| 1:27.4 | I'm making sure I spend |
| 1:28.5 | 20 minutes on it a day. I feel like more than that and I feel like I can't really commit to it. |
| 1:32.7 | So I like to do this in the morning sort of right when I wake up. I feel like it helps get my |
