Recognising The Small Positives

[Britt.f7]

That I made a dent in cleaning the house so that it will be easier to complete on the 24th, instead of freezing up and feeling overwhelmed.

I got the rest of the wrapping done and the preparation for the 29th Christmas gathering done. I usually procrastinate, which makes the anxiety I'm already feeling worse, so this is a small positive.

My cold is slightly better then yesterday. Of course, yesterday, I was running around between medical appointments and it was a very long day. It stands to reason that I would feel better today. Less running around. Still, that is a small positive.

I chose not to confront a rude customer and was extra pleasant to the clerk who was going to have to handle him, even though he interrupted my transaction because his was, apparently, more important. NOT. I think that was a small positive. I'm sure it helped the clerk to have one person nice to her, when the other was so demanding.

Today, this afternoon, is a negative day for me. So the small positives I'm going to try and focus on is this group, my family, my friends.

I ran 4.78 miles today. I ran for an hour. I feel unstoppable.

I showered, and got a few things done today around the house. I feel good about this because I thought it was going to be a bad day and it is turning out okay.

I lost either four or 6 pounds depending on if I wore clothes the last time I weighed myself. Usually I would dismiss such a small weight loss(water), but this time I am patting myself on the back.

I'm registered to run the Shamrock Shuffle 8k (about five miles) on March 30th. I've been training and have made progress.

Today I ran five miles again in under an hour and my back didn't hurt afterwards.

I'm trying to focus on my health. I'm taking my body back. This body is MINE and I love it and I will take care of it.

 

[Britt.f7]

I made it outside today. Not just to let the dogs out, but to go somewhere. Hoping I will do it later, we really need groceries.

 

[Britt.f7]

Today is a good day. I am not wishing I was asleep. This is a positive day.
