My goal is to lose weight so to conquer my goal I have been volunteering at the food bank, walking and square dancing.

What is one fear or goal that you would like to conquer?

@mutter3

I can see that might be hard to adjust to your hearing aids and wear them since my father-in-law has issues with his. Hope everything works out.

I hope you can go enjoy the beach and ocean. It is really fun to visit. We go a lot to the Washington and Oregon coast and stay the weekend at different places. We also make it to California some.

@MissPen

I'm the same way. I've been reading this book called Empowered Boundaries by Cristien Storm. It's given me a lot of strategies for standing up for myself and voicing my needs.

I hope your care team can find that for you. I know finding a good care team is hard since I fired one of my doctors today.

@AffyAvo

That is great to hear. Yes, there is limited options where I am also. Some of my care team are about 3 hours away from me which is very hard but we have great communication. Just wish the local group would get onboard with that great communication style like the other folks further away. At least when I go up there I try to combine appointments all in 1 day and some of them are bending over backwards to make the times work in 1 day.

@amiablePeace77

Art is a great coping skill also. I would really be excited to see things that you create that you would like to share the pictures of. Fear of abandonment is hard for a lot of folks. Having folks that you can go to when in your time of need helps a lot.

The fear I have is I am not a good person, I have always been my worst enemy

I will conquer the self esteem issue I have on myself.

@pamharley003

Sometimes we do feel like we are our worst enemy and that is when we need to do DBT Turning the mind. With this month's daily self-esteem challenge I think it will help us all a lot.
