Thank you so much @franciemarnie I really appreciate your support and experience. I have the commitment and the willpower, I just don't know if it is going to be enough, so I'll keep at it until I get it right. :tup:

PS: My apologies to staff for posting in the wrong place!!! I did not realize it was an Ask Anthony thread until I had already posted.

@Spiderallis - Loud hard sounds: Ach!! Stress. Emergency. Danger. Threat to safety. I can dig that. I take my hearing aids out when I walk thru the city.

I took a salt bath and feel better. Chest lighter. Can breathe again. Feeling the sadness and it is slowly waving goodbye.

The small changes all add up

I hope so macca. I am really hoping so.

 

[ms spock]

Feeling really stressed and anxious.

I was feeling very depressed and confused earlier, but I am feeling much, much better now. I sometimes try to take on more than is good for me and I make mistakes in the process. Lesson learned.

So I went down to have a Dip in the Ocean and read a book on Mindfulness whilst I was there. Feeling okay. Feeling emotional as well.

Feeling more there and here today.

 

[macca]

Tired and unmotivated. Stuck inside my head.

Presently at the moment. I'm exhausted, dull and afraid of being judged unreasonably.

Pleased with much work I've accomplished though and with finding the strength yesterday to take two risks, often difficult for me.

Unhappy with myself for not attempting sleep last night / this morning.

I did not know that doing small consistent acts of random kindness could enrich my own life so much and bring those feelings of community, connection and contentment.

Today for random acts I helped up a small child that got stuck in a wave, I rescued a boogie board that a little girl had lost hold of and I complimented people on their children and dogs and exchanged some nice comments and pleasantries and had a few nice moments when I did some small helpful things for other people. Laughing with people at the antics of small children.

I am feeling disappointed. I decided that I am not ready for the nicotine patch as I smoked while on it yesterday and became confused and depressed, and discovered that this is a dangerous practice, so I am going to concentrate on getting my blood sugar levels in the proper range first.

I will talk to my doctor about Chantix and other smoking cessation methods and try it again when the time is right. For now, I need to forgive myself for failing to stop smoking and chalk it up to experience. I am not giving up though, I am simply regrouping 'cause as they say, "it is time to back up and punt" :p
