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.

@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.

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

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.
