Name 1 positive thing that you did today for yourself

Hey!  I'm back.... ha ha, after a long hiatus.  Anyhow, the blues got to me and a bit of anxiety here and there and everywhere.  

Thank you everyone for your participation in the previous post of 'Name 1 positive thing that happened to you'. As the 1 positive thing that happened to you is kind of passive and that you don't have any control over what happens to you, I'd like to start "Season 2" of the "Name 1 thing" series with 'Name 1 positive thing that you did today for YOURSELF' and this places full control in your hands.  This way you can choose to focus on yourself to love and care for yourself a little bit more today.  

Once again, let me start the ball rolling.  I've read a chapter of the book by Howard Marks ; 'The most important thing' to expand my knowledge. I haven't been reading consistently and am always distracted by many other distractions hence, this is, I feel, the 1 positive thing I did for myself today. 

Feel free to blabber.... 😀

Hi ya !  Ah hah !  Many people probably don't find the time nor the focus to read a book !  I'm constantly distracted.  So, I'm definitely sure reading a book is doing something positive for yourself !  Not only are you gaining knowledge, you are gaining the power of focus. Excellent !

May the force be with you ! 😊

Hey !  Sure is a positive thing you did for yourself, to join into this post and responding.  My bad for responding way too late in this instant gratification era.  I do truly apologize and hope that you didn't think you were being ghosted.  

Please continue to encourage yourself to get into contact with positive vibes.  It is soooo essential.  

May the force be with you. 😃

Today I pushed myself to go to a Meetup. It was burger night at a local restaurant. There were 7 of us at the Meetup. It was a really fun group. We drank a little wine and chatted about doing more Meetups. It got me out of my down moods that I've been in for the past few days.

Hey ! I hope you are well and up !  I'd like to congratulate you for pushing yourself to do something you didn't want to do.  I guess that's what they say go beyond your comfort zone ?  And it's wonderful that you actually gained a positive effect from that, which should encourage you to go on more meetups. 

Congratulations !  May the force be with you 😄

Ok, so I'm replying to myself again ! lol...  So I've decided to avoid, this particular person who made me feel inadequate and unwelcomed in his home, as well as, as much as I can, people related to him. 

'To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect. - Joan Didion

I absolutely refused to put myself in the vicinity of the person who makes me feel like I'm a lesser being.

@Hopey9831 despite a lot of thoughts pondering my mind. I did a little gardening today. I love plants. The feel of sand swifting through my fingers is one of best feelings. I get happy when I see a little bud, ingrown leaves, which are about to bloom soon. So after everything, I did myself a favour of gardening.
