Milestones or Steps Completed! Share and Celebrate Here :)

Just reached step 170 and feeling great!

I'm only on my tenth milestone, but between support here and in reality, I have learned a lot about becoming more positive. I can no longer let my negative emotions control me, but when I slip up I also cannot beat myself up over it because that's just as unhelpful. I have learned a lot about reframing my mental set so I can progress. I am still struggling with combatting my poor self esteem, but I am getting more prepared for being able to deal with it in healthy and productive ways. I have made leaps in beginning to appreciate my own self worth! Can't wait to see what is in store for me !

My first milestone... I can't say what I've learned from it. A lot of the steps are repetitive so being that I'm one of the people paying for this, I'm pretty disappointed. Sure, animal videos are cute, but not all 1-on-1 sessions are pleasant. I guess there was on video about a guy who just ignored his problem at a party, but how does ignoring a problem ever solve it? It just puts off having to face it later. I'd rather face it now, no matter how painful, so I can get it behind me, rather than drag it on. Help? Ideas?

#107 and now I know how to manage my money more wisely :)

Step 160 - Getting easier to let go of what I can't change (the past) and stop trying to predict situations/conversations (the future). Being in the moment, and living in the moment are bringing the best clarity and allowing laughter to shine through.

That sometimes the things you're dealing with...the person/listener you connect with has no idea how to help you through what you are going through. Don't feel bad about ending the conversation and finding someone that does understand, or that at least takes the time to stop and listen to what you are saying, and how you are feeling. The journey I'm on...is MY journey, and it's for me to walk, and not for someone else to tell me how to walk it. Take time to find a listener that will be there beside you as you walk it...not someone who tells you how or where to walk.

I just want to say, if you're down, drink fruit shoots. they make me happy so it might work for you :)

I have begun to learn how to use mindfulness to cope on emotionally charged days. And also learning to self care a lot more.

For years I've been telling myself I should try meditation, and I finally started today. Everyone should give it a try, it made me feel light as a feather!
