Sometimes finding the time for ourselves can be challenging and is not something we are used to. Just being here now is helpful. Sometimes it helps to adjust the goal to fit your life. Maybe break it up to five minutes in the morning and five at night or cut out amother activity instead. I cut out Facebook at night because it was a negative activity for me and caused me anxiety and instead I go on here and do mindfunless. Try to adjust coming on here to fit your lifestyle. Maybe that will help.
I'm on Day 4, halfway through! :)
@PandaK
i did it, for 7 days! Now there's only one way left and that's onward to Day 14 ----->^^
It's just one more day. It's just 7 more days. That's all.
My friend yesterday told me, "Yes, but next week it's just another just one more or 7 more days. That's important, but what are you doing now?"
Maybe I need to continue that, but also remember there's a nice glass of iced tea, a cool fall wind along with the warm sun, and some very friendly supportive friends here. Thank you for the reminder, friend. I'll keep doing the days, but remembering and focusing on now too.
Finally got it! :)
@httpdaydreams congratulations!!!
I will try for the 7 day badge.....so excited😀
It's hard sometimes.. life really gives you crap.. you try to better to be strong.. sometimes you end up back in square one
I forgot posting yesterday😢
I have mine too!
Want to use the 7 day thread to keep myself more positive!
Asking and looking for help is not easy for me. I put on a smile for the world while I'm broken inside. No matter how much I hurt I force that smile. I found I can't smile anymore and I'm even crying for no reason in public. My mask is breaking. I'm breaking. I'm on day 2. I have to keep going because I want to see the sun rise again and one of these days it will make me smile for real.
@MorningStar610
I'm so sorry to hear that Morning Star. But don't give up
@MorningStar610
It's hard opening up to others. But it really does help when you talk to someone. I have actually found it easier to speak up to strangers on this site than my friends and family. I'm currently on day two as well and the listeners in my experience so far have been so understanding and non-judgemental. It has really helped me developed confidence and learn to be more forgiving towards myself.
@shyPineapple4652
I agree! It really does help when you talk to someone. :)
Day 5 and I'm even starting to laugh reading some of the forums. I've made a few connections. I've failed my daily goals though of going out for walks and taking pictures. By the time I go out for walks it's too dark to take pictures but at least I'm going out for walks. I really like this site. It gives me something to look forward to. My phone actually chimes with messages of ecouagement or to remind me to fill my cup. I bought window writers and started leaving uplif ting messages on my bathroom mirror and I change it every day. I draw a picture (I can't draw but I don't care) & make up something to go with it. My husband thinks I'm nuts and he doesn't get it but our relationship is failing and I'm all alone right now and if I'm the only one I have I'm going to treat me the best that I can regardless of what he thinks. If he doesn't like it or thinks it's childish that's too bad. He never understood me anyway. This journey is about me.
