The fourteen day challenge

[Loloma]

Okay, got through day 2 and into day 3. Off to Birmingham today, see how I go as I'm already nervous. Traffic, parking etc. No looking forward to it.:eek:

Day 2 for me again and wow it is going well. I printed some affirmations last night for my book and keep thinking of what they say.

Still at day one here. I was a bit hard on myself yesterday afternoon. Trying again today.

Sometimes this feels like the movie "Groundhog Day".:eek:

It is amazing to me how much my thoughts shoot back a snarky jibe when I just finish communicating my desire to do or accomplish something I'm not entirely comfortable with. That's what I'm learning... where the weak chink in the armour is.

Day 1 again. Was doing okay for the first part of the day. Got a call from my cousin out of state, my biological father and my grandmother had come over and asked her to call me so they could talk to me. Long story short it went really bad. He is the one that hurt me when I was a kid. I drank a lot after I hung up on them.

This day 1 is going to be better.

I LOVE this idea Deb. I'm not on the forum often anymore, but I'm in on this! It will be good to find out how many negative thoughts I am still having. I had read about the rubber band idea sometime back and think it might be a way for me to remember...not so much the snapping of it as kind of a string tied on your finger idea. Though snapping it sure is symbolic of the pain we cause ourselves when thinking negatively ;)

Day 1 hour 1 again! Sheesh :(

Before I knew it was one negative remark about myself to myself, caught myself then BAM! another for having made a negative remark in the first place :confused:! It's like trying not breathe. I'm glad you brought up about it being a journey, Deb. (Dang! Just caught myself about to make ANOTHER negative remark! :speechless:)

I'm a little better at not doing it when I'm like this: :sleep:

Day 2 for me. Keeping it positive. My granddaughter isn't ciming over taday after all. sigh. I will get her next weekend. I will run errands and get my hair cut. I will keep on keeping on.

 

[KP the nut]

Yeah, day 2 a success. I'm looking forward to day 3 tomorrow. It will be a big challenge as I am travelling to a city to meet with 9 members of the forum and some spouses - 12 of us in total :eek:.

Not me... still on Day 1. Had a nightmare and came out of it snappish and fearful. Heaped hot coals on my head afterward. A lot of shaming messaging. (Big sigh) Oh well... I am though noticing my self talk has actually quieted down a good bit from the last time I tried it. I guess that's something. :O_o:
