All of the above, but also finally fulfilling my life long dream, getting the support I need to do it. I am a vegetarian, have never drunk alcohol or smoked and have just joined the gym.
Meeting people, just talking to anyone, helps confidence and self esteem too!
Thanks for sharing jedistar! Great to hear you have joined a gym - that will be a super way to meet more people too and continue building a community. Let us know how you get on!
I think it comes hand in hand with feeling happy. I was ticking the boxes above thinking these are the times I feel happier, lighter, almost distracted (apart from getting a good night's sleep! 😀)I also think it's important to find an activity that makes you happy - a hobby. I actually have many, but my biggest is cross-stitch. This is also about mindfulness. Doing something you love can stop all the negative thoughts and help you process things with a clearer mind. I find walking does this as well, particularly when you're walking on your own on a sunny day. If you walk for long enough you'll find that you have a better perspective on things and may even be inspired.

Hi Lizzie-13, thanks for sharing your thoughts with our community. Having a hobby to focus your mind on something you enjoy doing is a great idea! Walking is a great way to clear your mind too. Happy cross-stitching!
