What is/are positive thing(s) you got yourself to do for a better today?

For me it was watering plants

Taking all my supplements

When I thought of a fear and cried I was compassionate towards myself instead of critical

So nice!

Hi Starrlight!I went to my church today to help take down the Christmas decorations. That was fun because I got to see people I hadn't seen in awhile due to the never-ending lockdowns.

I also went ice skating.

Kudo for being compassionate instead of critical to yourself! That is awesome, so way to go

👍.

First thing out of bed I made pancakes for everyone. Started the weekend with an act of togetherness and love, rather than each of us singly slinking into our cereal bowls.

Aw, hang in there, sister. I'm glad you're taking the long view of this -- that the tears aren't necessarily something you need to act on. I'm trying to remember that as I change medicines and get waves of depression, too.

Thanks bro. My emotions are a bit jumbled like I won’t be depressed I’ll just cry nothings funny but I have a laughing spell in the middle of the night after a weird dream... oh well I’ll just be weird untilI straighten out. I am positive I am getting better despite the quirks.

Took my antibiotic and extra vitamin c. I made orange Kool aid and I rested. I said no to going out because I have a sinus infection and didn't feel well enough to go. Hopefully today I will feel a little better but I won't push myself if I do.

Thanks. Every day I feel a little better. Just need to take care of myself. I get a lot of sinus infections during the winter months. Always have. Even had surgery in 1996. So if I finish my antibiotic and am still sick or feel worse I will go see my doctor.

Yes, take care of yourself Starr. It is icy here and not fit to go out. So I've been listening to a 'positive affirmations' vid.on YouTube. Each day. It does seem to help. I am trying to look forward not back. And to stop thinking over memories that no longer serve me. 👍
