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

My day started out rough, but morphed into a very happy and light-hearted kind of day. It is like there's a party and I was the only one to get invited. Still I wish this feeling I could share with others here as it is such a welcome change for me!
 
I did some walking today without my walker! Went about 2 1/2 miles already!! My goal by 6 weeks (per Dr's instructions) is 2 miles a day, and I'm only 11 days out from surgery! So I'm very proud of myself and I will continue to do what I can to heal. I'm having a great day.:D
 
Had friends over for a puppy play date and dinner. It was hectic (in a good way) having 4 dogs running around acting crazy! They were pretty good and wore each other out. They will all be sleeping good tonight that's for sure.

My friends were awesome and brought me a get well card and some flowers. I didn't expect that, so it was even better. They got me Gerber Daisies which are some of my favorite flowers. We also set up a date to go walking together next week while my hubby is at work. So I would say my day was pretty awesome! :inlove:
 
I made lots of good decisions today.

I wish I could feel like I belong. I need to feel connected. I don't belong.

I don't connect. I can't stand the charge.

I am working on the activities that mean I switch from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. I have been working on this in a dedicated way for a long time now. It is hard going.

Corrosive self doubt makes it hard.

I have worked really hard. I really have. I am struggling. I am working hard. I am trying hard.

A couple of decades ago a woman said to me that maybe you need to stop trying so hard. I have no idea how to do that.

Really working on not dissociating, derealisation or depersonalised. Not easy.

I am weary.

CBT and DBT are not enough. I need to do the physical stuff, the tapping, the drumming, the musical instrument learning, and all that.

I feel immense sadness, that I have lived a disembodied life.

The stiffness in my body, the pain in my body is hard going.

A good day today, no anxiety at all, and enjoyed the drive on the freeway. I have been playing my game and it is fun. It is an escape for me. Made me so glad to get it. Going to have half a glass of wine and be lazy watching Netflix while the temperature gets to the point where it finally begins to cool down.
