Goal For The Day

[Britt.f7]

My goal was to talk to my very supportive friend whom I hadn't talk to in ages, with the exception of texting and to put a second coat of paint on my son's room. Done. Now my goal is to take a hot, soothing shower.

My goal is to not allow inrusive thoughts to win.

Fixed my medical insurance so that my prescriptions are covered and went to 2 different pharmacies to get a refund. Treated myself to a coffee on the way home.

That's a goal I would like to remember each day in life.

Hmm, the 19th of January. I think my goal is to try and finish some of the goals that are incomplete from yesterday, while being aware that I often give myself too many goals and overwhelm myself. I need to stop pressuring myself while at the same time force myself to do things I have been putting off. One task at a time, one day at a time. All easier said than done, but now it is up in print on the internet, I will have to try :meh: .

I will stay sane - bad memories and emotional flooding can't hart me. I am safe.

I wil not have a cigarette - it has been 8 days and I am now an ex-smoker! So there nicotine monsters!

Got a refund for the medication I paid for that was not covered by insurance, this meant going to 2 pharmacies. While I was on the bus to the pharmacy I called my social worker to get my social assistance worked out for the three months I am off work. I was 40 hours short to claim EI (erg!).

I treated myself to a coffee on the way home. I made tasty sandwiches in the toaster oven for my bf and his brother, put away my laundry, sorted out my mail and swept my apartment to pick up the accumulated dog fur from the past few days. I cleaned my coffee maker too - that is a job pending because I need some vinegar to get the weird smell out so my coffee tastes good again.

I went up to Sydney today. I went out of my comfort zone. I am so pleased at how I managed things. I also went for a Dip in the Ocean.

 

[MissMacD]

Oh how I miss living near the ocean, the sound of it crashing against the rocks alone is so soothing.

 

[ms spock]

The ocean is wonderful MissMacD.

I did my walk yesterday, about 5 miles in the snow and it was lovely, although I now have a big blister on my heel.

Congratulations on the quitting smoking Greenfrog.

Today I took back bottles to the supermarket, picked up vinegar and cleaned my coffee machine, and gave my dogs a session with their much loved marrow bones. Now I am cooking some potatoes for my dogs (it provides moisture content to their diets and keeps their meals fun and interesting). I've reached out to volunteer at a health expo next month and have begun the long process of job hunting - sent my resume out to a few hospitals for nutrition/chef related jobs.

My CBT got me on this idea of doing a little every day so that I can maintain things like laundry, cooking and errands like going to the grocery store.

My mantra for yesterday was 'I will be kinder than I feel' and it has made me feel surprisingly better. It has helped my anger from boiling over and overall I am more content. Being angry is no fun.
