accentuate the positive...elliminate the negative...latch on to the affirmative...don't mess with mr. in between.

Sometimes it's uncomfortable to change our attitude or perspective...especially when we are on our own and we need to 'get into' an activity in a self motivated way.. Maybe accept the discomfort - stay in the moment and take it a step at a time..
and you will find the momentum and the spirit of 'getting into' your life...It's struggle because you can slip backwards but everybody's gotta 'keep on keeping on!'' You're not alone! :)
We all go down rabbit holes at some time or another... truly everybody!

The absence of existing anxiety often results in a sudden impact of feelings from other moments.

Pushing the positive is the best way to naturally reset the balance.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
