Day 92. I really I’m not a fan of time changes. Makes adjusting already challenging preschooler sleep routines even more challenging. I won’t be sad if they scrap it one day. Ah well, we’ll adjust soon enough. Happy International Women’s Day to all you fantastic women on here Off to the MIL’s this morning. Send me strength
Yea poor little doggo she’s not having a good time of it right now. Always had dogs in my family but she is my first dog so it’s all the more emotional.
That feeling of being lost is so frustrating. I spoke about something similar at my latest CBT… There are so many things that I just don’t know about, including whether it matters that I don’t know.
An interesting exercise I did was to write some of this out, using the framework: thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
For now my goal is to just cultivate a mindfulness practice and calm the storm in my head.
Also saw some stuff by Tara Brach on the Calm app. Have heard about her stuff for a while but this is the first time I’ve looked at it properly. Her ideas about the Trance of Unworthiness really resonate with me, it’s all very accessible and easy to understand. Have you read or listened to any of her stuff?
Checking in Day 139
I started my personal journey in Autumn,when the days were beginning to get shorter. Dark evenings. But now come 6pm it’s still pretty light outside. You get a sense of goodness when the sun is shining(even tho there is a chill in the air)
I’m really looking forward now to spending quality family time in the garden on those warm spring/summer days.
Bbq and Mocktails anyone?
Peace & Love all
Love the t.shirt.
Checking in on day 105. Im on the ride of my life this rollercoaster is not ready to be finished with its up and downs and side swipes just yet
Day 250! No work today so I went to brunch with my partner and we bought a new bed for the dog. It was really big and I knew that when I got it but I can’t do anything moderately. Think you know what I’m talking about
Have a great Sunday everyone!
Cheers, it is what it is, yet another lesson stored in the old grey matter.
Checking in, Day 61 . The Daylight Savings Time change has me all out of sorts this morning but at least I’m sober!
Day 53 here, and on my first weekend getaway sober. Vacations or weekend trips were always heavily fueled by alcohol, so I was nervous before we left that I might be tempted to drink but I have not and…I’m actually enjoying myself!
Trying to normalize soberity and have fun too.
579 days alcohol free. Happy Saturday
Good morning all! Woot going to be 61 degrees today. Currently attending a Special Olympics rhythmic gymnastics qualifier. Its awesome to see the joy in the contestants faces. Having fun doing something they enjoy with no worries. It was worth getting up at the crack of ugly to get here. A nap is in my future.
I love this post. I can feel your spirit beaming through your text. Good job not letting the uncontrollable change your mood!
Sorry you’re going through it Lea. I hope today is better.
Today has been really good. I got my key back from the person I was with. It is over for me. I have had enough time to reflect over the day and night. I feel more relaxed and not worried he’s going to barge in my apartment. Almost been a solid day. I know the days and weeks ahead will be emotional at times. I am okay.
Congrats on 9 months of sobriety, you really have this sobriety sorted, good for you.
Blessings and sobriety!
