The fourteen day challenge

[KP the nut]

Monday and today (Tuesday) days 4 and 5. Wow, going good.

Gotta give you all credit for getting up each time you stumble and keep on trying with a new start with a new day.

Starting day 2. Its been a little while since I made it through an entire day, so I am feeling pretty good. Been disappointed in my backslide, but not beating myself up. Just looking for ways to get back on track, and this is definitely one of them.

Day 2. No negative thoughts today. Am going to drive tommorow and am battling pre-driving anxiety jitters.

But I am being easy on myself. I am doing the best I can with the information I currently have. Maybe tommorow will be a very good day. I am crossing my fingers. So far so good.

I'm back on day one... I know I can get past this, but I had a bit of a trigger and I'm having trouble being nice to myself... But I am aware and that's what is important.

I made it through most of day 2, but I am back to day 1 today. But this is a lot better than it was last week. Shoot, I was being negative about myself from the minute I opened my eyes in the morning.

Into day 6 and so far so good.

Oh my gosh, I'm back on day 1 but the funny thing is I've been in such a whirl and blur I forgot all about this challenge until my husband caught me burning myself up with horrible verbal phrases.

I had no idea I was even doing it - kind of like a ritual beating of sorts as soon as I came out of the pain - and he said "ut oh, now you have to start all over." It took me a minute to figure out what the heck he was talking about and then wham!! I had completely forgot and realized I do this each and every time like some how I have this coming for having gone through so much pain.

I had to ask myself a question I've never asked, "what have I ever done to treat myself so badly?"

Honestly, I would never talk to anyone the way I talk to myself, ever.

Day 1... :)

I think I am on day 3. So far so good. I got up and faced the day. That is one for courage on my part. I get to drive on the freeway today, I took my meds like a good girl. I will do ok. I will watch what I tell myself when I am driving. The rest of the day will be a breeze. TRudge, trudge, trudge.
