Small things, great victories. What’s yours?

Put my tools and skills list for complex trauma on the fridge and the bathroom door

Mopping! Friggin’ mopping. I never mopped before, but I would be on my hands and knees hand wiping every square inch. Decided to let go of Cinderella and join the modern era. Even with the mop I had to keep reminding myself, “It’s okay to stand up all the way.” Feeling kind of amazing that I finally am someone who can do something as mundane as mopping—*because I don’t have to do it the perfectly best way on my hands and knees!*

I climbed the ladder into my tractor, left right left all the way to my favorite chair. The new knee is not as good as the old one right next to it, but I think it is going to do.

Taking a break

Making and eating dinner felt like an accomplishment tonight. Because I really wanted to just eat cookies. Still ate cookies but after the meal.

Recognizing my triggers and accepting that I don not have to keep exposing myself to them in order to heal.

Changing the sheets on my bed.

Noticing that I was creating a pile of clothes on my desk and consciously hanging up my clothes I was wearing as I got ready for bed instead of adding to the pile.

Going two weeks between grocery shopping.

Respecting my triggers

Reading my books again.

I recognized things, at least 4, that are reminders to trust when I didn't feel it warranted when triggered.
