The fourteen day challenge

[intothelight]

I am determined to make it through day 2 today. Actually the furthest I have gotten is day 3. So my goal is to work hard to make it to day 4. Will be interesting since I have my first T appointment in over a year on Monday. Hopefully she will have some more tools for me to put in the tool kit for disarming my inner critic.

If she does Deb, please pass them along. Still saving my pennies to pay for the out of pocket expenses for my health issues. I really expected to be back in therapy by now. I need freebies.

Perseverance. And kindness (to self and others)
And plain-old practise. :oops:
(((Hugs for all)))

Something about "crisis mode" that brings it out in me, I have got it going on today! :)
So since yesterday I am doing better, pushing back that negative talk about myself. I actually was out front with my husband in the (gasp!) daylight helping him to sweep up the mounds of leaves, all without worrying about if I had handled my hair or covered myself up completely enough. :tup: Found myself laughing and not panicking.

I wonder if 'wondering'/ doubts, counts as negative?
Or is that just ~cognitive reasoning? :( :confused:

Thanks Deb - I am so in! I say stuff about, and to myself that I'd never say to a complete stranger, let alone someone I'm supposed to love. Here's to starting day one.

Sounds like thinking about things. Its normal to question, wonder and doubt. Just don't be hard on yourself and keep working on focusing on your positive traits and all you do right. :-)

Good grief. One, one, one.... UGH.

I am still on day one

Well today is the start of day three. I haven't ever made it past this point, but am definitely giving it a shot!

I did well up until yesterday evening :(.
So I told my husband that I had just caught myself and needed to start over, he was impressed that I actually was now stopping myself, I thought he was trying to be a smart@ss. Sooooooooooo I had to start all over again for a minor gesture :rolleyes:, he said, "okay, Hunny, just try getting it all out at once" :laugh: . So I did and then promptly this morning as I looked in the mirror :x3:, ugh.

Day 1 .....

Congrats Deb! I know I can do this to. I never was so aware of so quickly I think these horrible things of myself, nor see it coming.

Starting over, but definitely getting better at it lol!
