What Have You Accomplished Lately?

[ms spock]

I have decided on the next lot of changes in my life to manage my PTSD.

I got out of the house and worked with the cats the first time today!

Just being out, and with people, and being ok is huge for me. free kitty therapy petting helped me focus and keep calm. Drawback is cleaning up cat litter , but well not anything i dont do at home for my cat. I had been anxious to the point of nausea, but I still went... and I was ok there.

I went out of the house today. I brought my son to a friend's house, even waved at the dad. I then did a return of merchandise at Kohl's. I went to Target to buy easter candy. I'm prepared. I even bought a sign to hang on my house, on my front porch. It says spring has sprung and it is a white picket fence with metal flowers. This is the first Spring type thing I've bought for my house since owning it.

I walked for two hours. I made plans on how not to dissociate. I made plans on how to get work done.

I ran errands today and there were so many. Had fifteen more copies of my resume made to be mailed out asap. I got some treats for my oldest granddaughter for going with me and then treated my family to take out. I took a shower and felt so much better and I have such a sense of accomplishment today.

I just forgot time so I could enjoy my ride on my new bycicle.

Not as much as I'd like to so I decided post "what moved you emotionally" challenge to redouble my efforts.

I was able to tell my mother that I don't want the same calendary for Christmas every year. I liked these special calendaries before but the phrases and pictures became bad...and my mother was fine with it.

I signed for my new flat today, but was shocked at the amount of work I need to do to it.

Every room needs redecorating - not kidding here, not one wall in the place has paper across its whole surface area, no carpets anywhere and all of the curtain track needs replacing. I'm going to have to put some sort of padding on the floor to stop the cats hurting their paws on random nails in the floorboards. Can't put carpets down until I've finished decorating.

Started a 90 day exercise challenge even though I'm not really able to do a whole lot cuz of the back injury. Even if I do the therapeutic stretching and some walking each day it counts.

I am more present. I am challenging the dissociation. I am only marginally more present really, to be honest about it. But it is a small incremental change.

I watched the solar eclipse from the high street not far from my house. Was shocked to see so many people just standing there watching the sky, but what else should I have expected, we haven't been able to see one this good in about 16 years.

Think I'm spending so much time on my own lately I'm forgetting that there are other people on the planet! Not sure if that's a bad thing.
