Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

My goal today was to leave the house. Granted it was to only remove my metal flowers from my overgrown, dead garden, and replace them with Santa and holiday greetings displays. Still, it has been hard for me to get out to do that. I almost did it, but I couldn't find the Christmas decorations. I will get it done. Why is it so hard to just go out into the yard? Barring the bitter cold that is.
 
Haha, @Britt.f7, yeah, well, I was good about the gym on Thursday, but yesterday I didn't do anything. :unsure: It happens. :oops: And Britt, sometimes I have A LOT of trouble just leaving my bedroom. Good for you for trying! It's hard, but every time you succeed, even just the little successes, it gets easier the next time. I'm proud of you for keeping at it! :hug:

Well... I did a little bit of cleaning yesterday, but then some things came up and everything ran off the rails. Usually, the first time I fail at something, like tracking goals here, I would just give up and start up some new plan. But I'm going to try to do things differently this time. Yes, yesterday was bad. I didn't really achieve my goals for the day. But I'm not going to give up. Today I'm going to set some easy, simple goals and do the best I can to get through another day.

I'm going to breathe. I'm going to try to be okay with the fact that life is unfair and life is difficult. I'm going to read. I'm going to try to relax. I'm going to get in some exercise, because exercise makes me feel better... even if it's just a little bit of exercise, that's okay. I'm going to try to be kind to myself.
 
Well... I meditated for quite awhile yesterday. Practiced breathing. I read a little bit. I did my best to relax. I exercised. I tried hard to believe in myself even though no one else cares about me. It was another crappy day. I survived.

I'm not sure what to do today. All my plans for the weekend have been derailed. My goal is to just keep on track as best I can. Self-care, breathing and trying to stay balanced.
 
Yesterday was crappy. I guess it could have been worse.

Today I'm interviewing a new therapist. I hate doctor's appointments, they freak me out. It's all about getting through the day, today. Staying calm and hoping for the best, I guess.
 
I got through my doctor's appointment yesterday, with a new therapist, and I did really, really well. :joyful:

Today I just want to get back on track. Self-care, exercise, etc. Try, try, try to make some progress on the house and Christmas preparations.
 
This has been my goal for weeks and weeks and weeks... We have a personal budget, for stuff like grocery shopping, eating out and general shopping, and every week I double check the totals and check on how much money I saved... and I haven't been doing it. So, today, I finally updated all those untotaled weeks of our budget. Yay! I'm just so proud of myself. I was really procrastinating about this forever. And the best part, I ended up finding (saving) over $200. Yippee! Gotta love found money like that. Just in time for Christmas. So it all worked out, in a way.

I'm just so happy to finally have the budget back in order. It was really bugging me when it wasn't getting done. Now it's done and I'm back on track. (Bonus points!) :joyful:
 
I did not manage my goal and that was to stay out of bed. First time back is okay, that's nap time. But not the second time in which I stayed in bed for two hours just because. Today was a bad day for goals. Plus I plan on going to bed early. Okay, tomorrow is another day, as they say.
 
That's right, tomorrow is another day, @Britt.f7. I've missed a few days here, but I'm going to try to get back on track. :hug:

My goal today is to get through my doctor's appointment with minimal freaking out. :eek: I also really need to handle some Christmas shopping, and I hope I can do that while I'm out later today. :joyful:
