Off To Do The One Job I Can Do These Days

[squireparty]

I'm off to do a mystery shop. It's the one thing I can handle these days and I'm glad to have this shop today as it gives me focus - I need to get showered, shaved and dressed and get my act together to go out and take a bus across town and play the role of someone interested in buying a mattress. I especially am glad to get out of the house and have a focal point to my day here. I am going to try to notice something hopeful and or interesting while I am out and about today, I'm challenging myself to. Off to go mystery shopping.....

Hope it goes well.

I like your personal challenges. Let us know how you got on.

Hi all.

Came back from the mystery shopping assignment. I really believe I was able to pull off appearing as if in the market for an upscale mattress set. For a brief period of time there I felt - I don't know, maybe like I was part of society - as for a brief period of time I was focused on a specific reasonable task that did not seem overwhelming. I really liked this feeling.

For my personal challenge, the bus I took to get to the mattress store passed by a park with a lake that I did not know was even there and it is really not all that far away from me. There were ducks that I could see and trees and when it warms up a bit it would be a nice place to go take a book to. So there is something hopeful and positive.

Also nice today was finding a supermarket with calcium, magnesium, and zinc on sale quite cheap. I am going to try this for my nerves and see if it helps any - this is also supposed to be good for sleep, too. We'll see.

Hi Squireparty!

Good for you, I did it myself a few times. Fun job! Keep it up! :tup:

I hear magnesium is very good as well (as all vitamins are but that we don't get enough and it really affects you when you have depression). Let me know how it goes!

I know what you mean. That's a good feeling. I think it's great that you noticed the park and the ducks too.

It sounds like your positive approach really paid off. Good for you.
