Good Morning everyone! It’s Monday, the most dreadful day of the week, but day after day we keep moving and so do our emotions and our experiences so I hope this Monday lifts you up and helps propel you throughout the week. My little update about yesterday and the one beautiful thing I did, made homemade salsa and I don’t think I have ever did anything as hard as canning before. Kudos to y’all who can things regularly because that was tough! I’m gonna spend my Monday today watching the third Harry Potter movie and maybe do some gardening. I hope y’all have a great day today, I wouldn’t mind if y’all wanted to share some fun things about your day today. Sometimes it’s nice to share your experiences, even if it’s to complete strangers!

I’m proud of you for carrying on this morning even though it was tough for you! I hope your day continues to be better and you find moments and activities in your day to bring you joy!

‘The Comfort Book’ by Matt Haig! I am so proud of you for doing that all this morning! A great start to a day really helps shift the energy for the day so I hope you continue kicking butt today!

@Have a sunflower🌻 From what I’ve read currently, I haven’t finished it quite yet, I don’t find anything triggering within the book. There are quite a few pieces that actually express the importance of not trying to avoid feelings and thoughts. They do express that you are not your thoughts, but also avoiding things does not help lead you to recovery. Which is personally something I need a lot because I’ve been finding it quite hard to do ERP some days, I’m trying to learn to not avoid the things that make me anxious.

@i_will_beat_this Great 👍 thanks! I have trouble with avoidance too 😬.

I hope the new recipe you try out today goes well! I myself am going to try a new chicken stir fry recipe for dinner tonight! I hope you continue having a good day today!

@i_will_beat_this You too! I love trying out new recipes 😋

@Sunny38 I’m honestly not the best cook, but you gotta eat somehow lol so I am trying to widen my horizons and cook more. Practice makes perfect or in my case atleast mediocre haha!
