Goal of The Day-Challenging Your PTSD

[Meghan87]

To sleep well and wake up tomorrow Brave and read to take on my second day at work and to try and stay positive if it doesn't go quite as smooth as I hope...To keep this confidence about me and not lose hope that I am getting better because of other peoples actions!

I'm starting to feel better after being so sick over the weekend. :joyful: I needed to go to therapy today and I got that done. :smug:

I went out. I saw friends. I went for a Dip in the Ocean. I bought some food for home.

What are my goals for the day? :cautious:

I don't know. I hate how one little thing happening last Tuesday has snowballed into everything falling off track, and now I have to start over from the beginning. :confused: I guess my goals are to get back to basics. Self-care. Vitamins, lots of water, three healthy meals a day (already messed that up with a crappy breakfast... but, y'know, I want to improve through the rest of the day... ;)), exercise, sunlight and good sleep. :joyful: Those are my goals for the next few days until I can get things back under control. Meanwhile, I'm trying to keep up with all my responsibilities as well, without losing my mind. :wacky:

Today was even better then yesterday :) I am feeling very proud of myself, I have a lot more confidence at work then I thought I did and I am sure I will do fine...Thanks to Dr. David Burns and my T I have the tools I need to get through each day! One day at a time of course!

Let's see. Well, I was talking to my husband... and the point he made is it wasn't just one thing last week, it was a lot of stuff all going sort of wrong all at the same time. So, my goal is to go easier on myself and try not to be such a drama queen and give myself a break when I hit a sorta slight depressive slump. :unsure: I'm still working on getting back to basics. Trying to eat healthy, which makes a big difference. I did much better on lunch and dinner yesterday than I did with breakfast. Trying not to stress out or have unreasonable expectations. :confused: I still have a slight cough and a runny nose, so I'm still not over this stupid cold. :hungover: Colds are annoying. :mad:

What are my goals for the day? :cautious:
Drive safely home from work at the end of the day; bring all my things upstairs and into my condo: dump them on the floor, throw off my shoes, toss my coat towards one end of the sofa, toss myself on sofa, use my coat as a blanket and go to sleep. :grumpy::dead::alien:
