Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

[ms spock]

To be grounded and real.

To realise that what I do is good enough - I don't have to be perfect to try and get my abusive parents' love.

I joined an exercise class with some co-workers that I'm supposed to start in a couple hours. My goal is to show up and engage in the class. To let my guard down enough to maybe even have fun with it.

 

[ms spock]

To stay present and keep moving but be still enough in myself to notice what is going on.

Hmm. Sitting in the parking lot of the exercise class watching people going in. Trying to determine if it's safe...

I made it into the exercise class and I actually had a really good time! I think I'll even go back!

Really being present about what is happening in my world right now, rather than in the PTSD world.

Trying to be "right here, right now". Being in the moment allows me the head space to recognize my healthy thinking and my unhealthy thinking.

Am developing my ability to do this, and just starting to move into the healthy thinking, and then acting on it - rather than on the unhealthy thinking.

Still pretty frightening - but my mood is just a fraction better when I can do this. Credit goes to meditation tapes as these give me the tool to settle myself when my thinking get loopy!

Great stuff GreenFrog!
