I went walking twice, 18,550 steps so far!

 

[Teasel]

Felt intense sadness come up - grief maybe. So I let myself feel it a moment, stopping thoughts in the brain about it and instead feeling what was going on my body. Felt fine again just a minute or two later.

 

[Abstract]

Wrote a bad poem. Diarised my feelings. Did some grounding. Prioritised a bit of self care over a task I needed to do,

Yesterday I went walking twice, once with my walking group, and the second time I went bush walking. I did over 20,000 steps yesterday. So that assists me in physically managing my emotions.

This morning I went to Weight Watchers, which is changing it's name, but it will still be Weight Watchers to me, I am over all the branding. This helps me be more aware of my eating which is very important for emotional regulation. I have not done so well with my eating this week.

I also used the app Woebot in order to get a bit more of a handle on on my distorted thinking. My thinking is still really distorted though I have worked on this. I have a long way to go. I have checked in with Woebot more than 20 times so far.

Walking with my walking group, and then a half an hour of walking with a friend as well. I got up at 5am to do this. So I am working to regularly walk each day to manage my anxiety and PTSD. I am enjoying being back at it.

I went walking at 6.40am with a friend and our dogs.
I had another dog over for a playdate with our dog.
I choose a meal and made three lots of spag bol for my partner. I will cook him a roast for his week.
I am now making a dahl for myself.
I am trying to be more here, and not be in my head so much.
