if you donā€™t read Eckhart Tolle already then you should based on your approach to life. Itā€™s not always easy to put into practice but itā€™s a good foundation to work from.

Cried my way through a CBT appointment this morning. I am struggling to communicate whatā€™s in my head which doesnā€™t help how I feel or the help I can get. Sounds like I will be referred to a different type of therapy after CBT (not sure what) but i donā€™t know when, Iā€™m sure the waiting list is long. But this is good news and Iā€™m pleased that someone seems to recognise I need a bit of extra help.

She suggested doing a SMART goal around giving myself compliments, which I said I canā€™t (we agreed on wonā€™t) do. So my goal for now is to work on recording thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Thought - that was a horrible experience
Feeling - sad
Behaviour - crying

Need to look for some more words to describe feelings cos at the moment all I can come up with is sad, angry and happy.

I feel this way often, and totally get it. Not sure I have many words of wisdom, but there is a reason people believe in you and your abilities. If there is something you are insecure about, you are obviously 100% capable of learning it and/or improving it. Ahhhh I suck at words, I hope Iā€™m getting across what Iā€™m trying to. The gift I would give right now is the ability to see yourself and talents through other peopleā€™s eyes :slightly_smiling_face:

Somewhat better frame of mind today. Going to try to not focus on my business split. I think that is what has me mentally spiraling. I allowed myself a day to myself to pretty much nothing. Had to work a bit, but was able to do so from bed. Today I have a full day and I feel somewhat ready. Onward.

Checking in day 75. Not much to update. I think Iā€™m grumpy and ready for spring lol. Normally love the winter but just want some sun, even if itā€™s freezing & snowy. Gotta start checking out camping spots if we end up heading to the USA this summer, likely New England area. Have a great day

Crappy rainy weather.
What I want to do at home canā€™t be done because it involves shifting stuff outside while I get done what needs doing inside.

Life is short. If you want to move to the country, make that your goal, work toward it and do it. :green_heart:
