Learning to accept feeling down. It does not mean that I enjoy being down but identifying that it is ok to be down and to allow whatever time it takes to recover. This does not mean that I let go but it means that I continue my own basic upkeep (hygiene, sleeping plenty, laundry, eating healthy, mental and emotional upkeep too). I realize recently that I could not force myself to do beyond what basic upkeep I am already doing and after work I just immerse in watching TV shows- it even took me awhile to accept watching TV, but learning to accept it and telling myself that its ok helps me redefine the way I think.

I feel so conflicted in my brain but this website helps a bit :)

That having consistent things to do every day helps my mental state little by little.

Maintanance might not seem important when I'm doing well, but it is.

One thing I've learned is that my anxiety skews my perceptions of things pretty badly. When I'm worried about something, I'll interpret things in a way that supports what my anxious mind believes to be true. But most times, there's actually nothing wrong and my mind is just playing tricks on me. So I need to take a step back and really think about whether I'm creating problems where there are none.

So I joined yesterday, and even knowing that I have this site to look at for positivity and am able to talk to someone has helped me. I feel calmer than I did yesterday, and do not feel as overwhelmed or apathetic. Just wanted to say that I have learned that there is always someone willing to listen, which I am grateful for. Thanks. To whoever.

I've learned meditation exercises which help me stay calm and inner peace.

I've learned how to better accept others you may dislike.
