Want2Bbetter 04/10/2009

I tried something new this morning. After seeing my counselor yesterday I decided to change some of my morning self-talk.

This morning I said, "It's so nice to be able to relax and enjoy being in my comfortable bed," and "I look forward to walking at the river today," and "I am hopeful today will be a good day and I will feel comfortable," and "I look forward to going to the Braves game next month," and "I feel comfortable walking down my safe stairs."

I know that the mornings can be a challenge to some of us with anxiety. I changed just a few words and it has been a nice morning so far.

I'm up and ready for the day! I'm eating breakfast, I've already showered and dressed. Going to the nursing home this morning and then shopping for the ingredients for the pies I'm making for Easter dinner.

Betsy, sounds like you've got a good plan to start your day, good for you!

Love & hugs,

Good morning everyone. Anther beautiful sunshiny day today. I was in hyper mode all day yesterday but feel relaxed today. I use to get in hyper modes, but I haven't in a long time. I'm wondering if since my anxiety has longer come out in anxiety and panic form, if the extra adreline rush I get is now coming out in energy mode. I got a ton done yesterday. LOL NO special plans for today other than driving and maybe getting my first professional haircut in 13 months. I've been cutting my own. It doesn't look bad, but I think I will feel better after a professional cut, or so I tell myself. What women doesn't want to look her best? I'll probably dink around outside again and do some raking.

Have a great day everyone!

Oh Betsy..that is good deal!.. Our inner dialect can be stiffling if we don't change our thought patterns.

A daily challenge for me.

Good morning everyone! I'm at work (hurray for Friday) and feeling much more relaxed than I have all week. I hope everyone has good stuff planned for this weekend whether you're doing Easter, Passover or something else altogether. Nurturing self-talk is beginning to help me -- I was having a tough time learning how to do the technique but, with practice, anxiety relief appears to be more within reach.
