“All of us have times of stress, loss, failure or trauma in our lives. But how we respond to these has a big impact on our wellbeing. We often cannot choose what happens to us, but in principle we can choose our own attitude to what happens. In practice it’s not always easy, but one of the most exciting findings from recent research is that resilience , like many other life skills, can be learned.”
I’ll be posting daily (or aiming to), join in for as much or as little as you like.
Find an action you can take to overcome a problem or a worry.
Hmmmm… I have lots of worries One thing I am going to do right now is pay for a hall I hired back in May. They haven’t chased me for it but I want to get it sorted and also arrange booking it again for the next do we have planned.
Day 2; I’m going to present the question “clog or cleanse?” as much as possible this month. I’m trying to be more mindful in my actions, words, thoughts and feelings.
“Will this clog (take away from my goals) or cleanse (add positively to my goals)?”
I’m definitely in thanks. I’ve had a look through and should be able to accomplish most of them. I see it as a guide to living a better life and learning to appreciate it so I thank you for creating it
For day two so far I can use my recently acquired tax rebate to buy new power tools to replace ones I shamefully sold to feed my drug addiction. It will overcome the problem of having to work an unskilled job to re purchase them which would depress me where I should be doing my carpentry work. It’s an expensive trade but once you are set up it pays well and brings me a sense of fulfillment.
That works for me for day two anyway
Amazing. The financial freedom from sobriety is brilliant isn’t it? Being able to spend any spare cash on things that you actually want or need, things that serve you. What type of carpentry do you do, wood work/furniture or more construction stuff?
I do a bit of bench joinery (furniture etc) in the garage at home but it’s more site type work in trained in and do, literally anything involving wood or plastic in and around the home.
Yeah it’s fantastic, I was spending a heck of a lot of money every week so with that saving from thirty days and some money I had in an ISA I’ve had a holiday, new top teeth (10) and a whole new wardrobe. I need about a thousand pounds worth of tools but my rebate was 800 but it’s enough to get me back in work.
Yep sobriety absolutely rocks
Hey if you provide the measurements is be happy to make one, not to earn money is be quite happy if you just covered the materials which wouldn’t be much
