Three good things a day

[Elphanigh]

Here are my three for the morning,

1. I made a delicious cup of coffee (healthy form of a mocha)
2. I feel rested for once
3. The sun is shining today

Ooh, I just found this thread! It's quite lovely

1. I went downtown for the first time in days.
2. I learned a strategy for setting boundaries in healthy interactions.
3. I haven't had a headache.

Glad you found it

I'd seen this thread a couple times and finally got a chance to read through and i love the idea Elphanigh! and that others have come along to add too  i'll do 3 from yesterday too since it's still morning now!

yesterday

• took some time to get myself out of a bad maladaptive daydream
• watched a bunch of funny livestreams
• did coptic stitch bookbinding for the first time successfully

today

• got out of a daydream quick enough so i wouldn't be late to work
• ate 3 tasty blueberry waffles
• listened to a comedy podcast before work

Mine today:
1) after therapy I sat on a bench by the lake side and dozed off, listening to the waves lapping on the shore and feeling the gentle breeze caressing my face
2) in therapy I was honest about feeling that I could maybe do more work at home for therapy, so we looked at why I'm hesitant to look at or feel into feelings at home. My T encouraged me to continue trauma-processing at home so that when therapy comes to an end, I will be able to keep working on my own. A very useful session.
3) I allowed myself a long nap again at home after therapy.

Today I:

1. Watched a really fascinating documentary on the Louvre
2. Booked a dentist appointment that I've been avoiding
3. Went for a lovely twilight walk

Three or more good things in last few days:
1) I set a definite limit with Troublesome Client and am now accepting myself even though I've lost her custom

2) On hearing strange noises from my gas-powered hot-water tank, I took my own fear of it blowing up seriously (even though I realised that's a Little Blueberry fear too - but one where Adult me can't calm self or Little One) and phoned a heating specialist, who couldn't come right away but could guarantee that it wouldn't blow up, it would at most switch off and go onto 'need maintenance' mode

3) I dealt very well with the situation of finding an injured magpie hopping around in my apartment - I arranged help for the magpie, but also dealt with my own feelings of fear and inadequacy, and I managed to catch the magpie and put it in a transportation box by myself. I didn't feel guilty for asking a friend to come and help me and then suddenly managing on my own before she arrived.

4) This friend understood my panicky feelings, didn't downplay at all, and she wasn't at all put out about cycling over to help and then finding I'd sorted out the problem by myself.

4) I am not feeling embarrassed or all apologetic about realising that the strange noises emanating from hot water tank must have been the magpie scrabbling around between the enclosed tank (with gas and flame) and the outer casing.

5) When I woke up a couple of hours ago (middle of my night) instead of lying around in bed, I acted on my impulse and did several rounds of EFT on things that I did / neglected to do yesterday evening. I also discovered some seemingly small issue from Thursday which is triggering for me. Doing EFT brought it back to the surface. And I realised during EFT that the magpie incident is still triggering fear, so that is something to put on the Processing Screen, today if possible.

My three for today:

1) I got to wear my beautiful pewter moon hair clip.

2) I caught up with some friends I haven't seen in a long time.

3) I withdrew myself from a tiring situation before I started to go downhill.

It is so great to see some posts from the last few days. I am finally  going to do some for myself again.

1. I came into the office this morning. Overtime pay, and it is a sign that I am starting to function again
2. I slept a full 8 hours last night.
3. I feel more like myself today.
4. I can remember that things aren't my fault from Thursday night. I will be okay
5. Am hosting game night today!

[Elphanigh]

Here are some for today
1. I feel re-energized emotionally after a good time with friends last night
2. I am half way done with with work today!
3. I have decided to write a personal story for OOTS. I am proud of this decision and will work on it tonight, although it might take me a few days

A few from last few days:
1) On Thursday I made it on time for an early appointment at the doctor's (I tend to be last-minutey)
2) I allowed myself to get the bus to the doc's because I felt exhausted; I didn't force myself to cycle.
3) I was singing with a group this evening and it was fun

Ok, from the last two days:

1. I unexpectedly saw one of my abusers, and I stayed calm.
2. I made a major breakthrough in compassion and forgiveness for my abusers with my psychologist.
3. I booked a trip away next month.

[Blueberry]

I so need this today:

1) I have this forum to come to again and again
2) I had redcurrants and blackcurrants from the garden for breakfast
3) Yesterday I started de-scaling the electric kettle. It looks much better already.
4) It's sunny today. I finally did a load of laundry which is hanging outside now drying.
5) I did some more EFT (tapping) this morning.

Thank you so much for reminding me of this place by writing in it. Blueberry I am so glad you use it when you need it. I have been sucked into emotions and negativity, so I too need these.

1. I made it to work on time with breakfast
2. It is the last day of my work week
3. I can go to bed early tonight, for some self care

[songbirdrosa]

So a few good things from the last few days:

1. I won $15 from a $6 lottery ticket
2. I had a lovely afternoon looking around the local art gallery
3. I was finally able to let myself feel without trying to suppress it
4. I bought a copy of Dante's Inferno in Italian and English, to help me in learning Italian
5. My pronunciations in French are improving
