How's Your Day Been? Each Day is Different, So Make Your Mark Daily

[ms spock]

My day has been yoga nidra, a mindfulness body scan and listening to "The Mindful Way Through Depression" which really helps with managing and containing my faulty thinking.

Some anxieties got purged as I went outside. :happy: Relief! & Mark of the day!

Had promised myself I'd go see a movie today, but wasn't sure, in my current frame of mind, I'd enjoy it. Instead I decided to go for a long walk to try and clear my head.

Amazingly it helped. I had a realisation that, while I have trouble trying to connect to my child-self, I can imagine anything when I'm writing. So I pictured the thing that's been bothering me as if I was creating a scene for a story, and just for a moment I connected. Then I stopped on my walk and wrote it down. All of a sudden I felt a wash of relief, as if I had actually managed to get it out of my head.

However, I didn't realised quite how hard I'd pushed myself walking. I didn't so much walk home as limp. I made sure I stopped for a hot chocolate in a cafe on the way, as a treat to myself.

I think I might rent a movie this evening instead.

My day was a wild mixture of everything.

As usual I didn't sleep the night from Sunday to Monday - it has been like this since school. And if I slept, I had the weirdest dreams. ...not a very pleasant night. But I couldn't call in sick again. I got out of bed and surprisingly saw a snow clearing vehicle in my street! I haven't seen one for years because the community always says that the street is too small. :wideeyed: ...at least, one positive fact about the early morning.

Today was my first day as a trainer and I was very nervous because of my trainee. :confused::geek: ...he's one year older than me, always smiling, has manners (he opens a door for a woman! etc....:joyful:) and is really motivated. I'm surprised how easy it was to handle him for the first day. But there are still 24 more days to go. Feels so strange to train someone when you're only 27...

Even though I didn't have much sleep, I still decided to play badminton with my colleagues and I didn't dissociate as often as I usually do. It's so hard to focus when the other part of the gym is used for indoor cycling and they have their loud music. At the same time, I have to watch out for the stupid ball and I'm not very good with the racket....but it worked out somehow.

I was rather happy when I arrived at home, but it was so cold and silent, really depressing. My best friend is paying a visit to another friend today and I can't call my mother because she's sick with high fever. I'm worried about her.

I am having an awesome day and I had accomplished a lot. Had really good quality time with my family and we are all laughing and talking to each other and it is raining outside and so cold so we are staying warm. The girls are going to cook dinner and it is going to be delicious. I am setting up an appointment for a real estate agent to show us a rental house that we liked. All good things today.

I have worked on my essay today. It was hard, but I got work done. So I am pleased.

I felt relaxation from the air again, I felt I recovered well from last week which was tough. Mark of the day!

I broke the vacuum cleaner today, but hubby knows how to fix it.

I did a mindfulness body scan. I had a snuggle which was lovely. I walked the dog. I swam 10 Laps. I did some food shopping for the house. I said "Hello" to a few friends.

I had the day off which was awesome. I am cooking part of the dinner tonight, have not cooked for a very long time and I actually enjoyed it. A very relaxing day today which I so needed.

I made some decisions. This was good. I needed to have followed through on this decision three days ago, but I still got here, which is progress for me.
