I learned today that even if I don't initially want to see my friends when I'm really sad, it helps to do it anyways because they care about me and want me to be better.

I've learned that talking through my problems helps me understand them better, even if the other person can't help you, or if a solution isn't making itself clear.

Trust that you can accomplish things

I am peace...

I listened to a mindfulness exercise and realized that Peace is a conscious choice. I can get angry over the smallest things or I can be at peace with people.

I am constantly learning about the power of gratitude. How it envigorates me, how it makes me happy.

I can't even remember what step this is. XD Been awhile since I've been on here.

What have I learned at n step? Hmm...

I've not only taken the time to learn about myself and unearth those very uncomfortable feelings and traumas I've accumulated over the years. Only recently am I able to face them- and still it's hard as h*** and will leave me in tears. Additionally, I've learned about the unhealthy behaviors and motivations of others in my life and have learned about strategies for coping with them or distancing myself from them altogether.

When you've been told your entire life that it's "your fault", it's pretty damn hard to shake.

Well, finally I'm able to. And I think it's possible for others to free themselves from this blame that people project- self-love and compassion were one of the key elements. Not to mention validation by positive people in my life, especially my psych and folks on here!

Been able to do some amazing things lately, and I'm getting even better and stronger. Here's to health!

I learned I need to breathe.

It's important to do things I enjoy. It's important to connect to others.

Things are always changing. Let go of what has happened in the past and focus on today.
