The fourteen day challenge

Day 6:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am doing good in spite of being triggered. I am having a good day in spite of being sick and just now starting to feel better. I deserve to talk kindly to myself. I am so tired of abusing myself with the way I talk to me. How sick is that? I am going to do this and I will relearn to be gentle onmyself. I will take good care of myself. I need to be a friend to me. It is about friggen time.

Day 4 and a personal best. I've still got the training wheels on though...

(Uh so that's not an albatross, and it's a tricycle... but you get the idea.)

Day 7 so far so good. Having a bad anniversary reaction on losing my son to a motorcycle accident 4 years ago. Will have to be extra special gentle on myself today. Already had one bad memory of something I had said to him. Trying not to be so hard on myself.

Day 1 again for me tomorrow. (Steroids suck!)​

In for the evening... and think it's pretty safe to say 5. Feeling pretty good about that.

That's good to read because I didn't know if it would or will ever get better. April 7 was my late husbands B-day, April 8 was the one year anniversary of the attack responsible for the TBI, PTSD, MDD blah blah blah. I don't think anyone but me even realized the dates. I can honestly say the depression, the deep down depression has not gone away in a whole year. My first husband died in an accident many years ago. I never forget, never. Sorry to ramble, I hope somehow I start to care again. Sounds like a lot of you fellow sufferers have figured out how to do it.

Mission accomplished :tup:.

Now I can go back to putting myself down :cautious:.

Nice try... now you can go for 26-28 days. The length of time it takes to "create a new habit". Then you can rest on your laurels??? Because I can't imagine going one up after creating the new habit and tracking the 6 months required to create a new behavior... it would be crazy making and an awful lot of focus.

Just a thought KP... why not press on and go for making a new habit? (at least while your still motivated to count?)
