Today I’m grateful for:

A long walk in the countryside on a sunny Sunday morning :sun:

Chilling and relaxation :victory_hand:

Food in my cupboards and fridge

Spending time with a friend that I’ve recently reconnected with

Staying in my lane

Focusing and not listening to outside noise

Family dinners with my boys :blue_heart:

Reflecting and memories :heart:

Sunday gratitude.
Today I’m grateful for

  • surviving the day, it was straining
  • breakfast
  • water
  • being home safe, the traffic was horrible
  • dog training, we both learned a lot
  • fast food. not the best choice but today i’m out of energy and accept disordered eating
  • got 1,5 h work in before we left for training
  • rest
  • series to give me comfortable background noise when i’m overly exhausted
  • being ok with feeling exhausted, moody and tired. the week was intense and i feel the consequences. this too shall pass :folded_hands:
  • 1 cat brushed
  • all cats fed their supplements
  • couch, bed and everything comfy
  • blankies, i’m so tired that i’m freezing
  • i’m grateful that i’m grateful for living alone. i couldn’t stand another human beside me today at home, i had too much socializing this week.
  • i’m not willing to put up with a partner regarding how much energy it cost me with my ex. this overly self-protective attitude will pass one day but for now it’s highly apprechiated.
  • i am enough
  • 500 days sober from codependent behaviour :folded_hands::sunflower:

I’m grateful this week is over. Everything from every aspect of life was challenging this week and I’m so glad to be able to put it behind me now.

I’m grateful we got out for a nice lunch as a family today to celebrate my partners birthday. He and I have our challenges but I’m glad he had a nice day and likes his gift.

I’m grateful I can go out now and not worry about whether we’ll be seated close to the bar or not. Seeing strangers drink doesn’t trigger anything in me anymore .

I’m grateful for my daughters and that they always know they can come to me for help.

I’m grateful for my pets and their snuggles

I’m grateful for my comfy pyjamas

I’m grateful to be sober

Today I’m grateful for where I am on my mental health journey and the progress I’ve made

For how much I’ve learned professionally in the last 6 years of practice

For a husband who always wants to take care of things

For a silly dog and sweet cat

For the weather always, predictably heating up in may. For things that can be predicted and the passage of time and the seasons.

For having a place of employment and a roof over my head and the comforts of home

For a body to carry me and meets my needs as gracefully as I encourage it to

Monday gratitude.
It’s been a day :face_exhaling:

Today I’m grateful i caught up on sleep, it was very much needed.
I’m grateful I tried some new to me varieties to make pancakes and had a good laugh as the first 3 were going straight to the bin.
I’m grateful I dragged myself to proceed with working on putting away / decluttering for 2 hours. Even slow little things getting done add up :folded_hands:
I’m grateful I rested after lunch.
I’m grateful I got some needed farmwork done after resting.
I’m grateful most of the roses are weeded, cut and i started thistle weeding. The never ending annoyance of running an organic farm.
I’m grateful i don’t rely on motivation, i set myself on autopilot and just do. Everything getting done counts. Progress not perfection.
I’m grateful for a hot shower and washed hair. For the solar plant providing hot water. For my beautiful bathroom. My cozy house. Doing the next right thing.
I’m grateful for my lovely pets, the plants on my farm, the mulberry tree providing a daily snack, washers of all kind to make my laundry and dishes clean again. I’m grateful for modern amenities.

I’m grateful for peace of heart & mind, for connection, kindness, the freedom to live my life as i do, for the millions of little steps that brought me where I am now :folded_hands:
Today i’m grateful for me.
And for you all :folded_hands:

Today I’m thankful for:

Finding my voice, and my confidence. For doing that imperfectly.

Stumbling without my mind turning to constant negative chatter.

Having some tools to deal with the times of negative mental chatter.

Having the vision to see where I’d like to go.

Having some sparks of ideas to help me get where I’d like to go.

Knowing that I neeed to give myself the time and the grace to do the things.

Seeing small progress one day at a time is possible

I’m grateful I made today a good one even if it didn’t go as planned.

I’m grateful for nice weather and time spent outside

I’m grateful I was able to attend my daughter’s spring play at school this afternoon. I’m so proud of her for crushing her small part in it. Performing in front of a crowd would have been very hard for her and she executed her 3 lines as “ annoyed townsperson” perfectly .

I’m grateful I can push my body to do hard things. Even if I may regret some of those things tomorrow :joy:

I’m grateful for a job to return to tomorrow that makes it possible to pay my bills

I’m grateful for clean water to drink and hot water to bathe in

I’m grateful for books to read and a comfy bed to read them on

I’m grateful to be sober
