Milestones or Steps Completed! Share and Celebrate Here :)

Perhaps there is a future for me.

I've learned recently how important it is to set boundaries for yourself and for others. There is a difference between a boundary and an ultimatum. Ultimatums that are used for motivation for others rarely work (ex. If you don't do this, we're breaking up). If you make statements like this, you have to be strong enough and willing to follow through. Otherwise, you're sending a message that your/their behavior is ok, and your words don't matter. Instead, use statements like this for your own protection and follow through. Take care of yourself! I've thought about this as I reflect back on issues I've dealt with, and it's made me realize that I haven't dealt with my issues in the most healthy way. I've since taken steps to apologize for my attitude and take on some blame, and that's lead to some good healing, I think.

Another milestone, yeah me. Rule #1 ...Stand up straight with your shoulders straight..... have a great day, you deserve and you earned it.

I've learned that voicing my feelings is really important. I can't expect people to be able to read my mind. So if I'm having a bad day or something us triggering my anxiety, I need to voice that so that my loved ones can help or at least be mindful of my current situation.

Also today's my birthday!

I just started taking measures to fix my sleep schedule and eating habits and am monitoring them to see what areas can be fixed

I AM observing my mind & redirecting any negative thoughts to a positive focus.

I'm going to give up again soon... it seems i can only reach out for so long, and it gets tiring..

I'm still waiting and hoping someone will grag me by the hand before i pull my hand back again

I've learned a lot, honestly. I learned I can actually try to publish my writing because before I used to be so anxious that I wouldn't publish it online or wherever. Now I am less anxious about that. So that's a good thing. I've also learned that I don't need alcohol. These weren't directly mentioned on the growth path, but the path helped me realize these things.
