Taking The Right Strides Forward

[snappy_turtle]

My therapist and I talked on the phone today about how my brain tends to fixate on things that are harmful for me to dwell on. I mentioned to her that I have taken up a new hobby to help distract myself from the fixation and to permit for me to do something I enjoy. My new hobby is photography, and I got a new fancy shmancy camera. It's caused me to go outdoors more and be more adventurous than I ever was. This has given me a sense of appreciation for nature, even. I want to post some of the pictures I took from the hikes I went on this weekend but I can't seem to figure out a good way to upload it on here.

Regardless, I've made "positive strides", according to my therapist and for some reason, hearing her say that makes me really proud of myself. :)

Good for you snappy turtle. Enjoy your new found hobby!

Absolutely, if these aren't positive strides, then I don't know what are! This is a huge deal, good for you, and photography is a fantastic hobbie. It's creative, individual, gets you out and about and allows you to have as much or as little contact with others, in terms of sharing and connecting about it, as you want or need. Super well done!

Photography has been a huge part of my getting better, too. Congrats on your positive strides.
