hello friends and welcome to 2022
Ill start with January 1sts List of Acheivements as follows one Made a list of all the important goals both big and small that I d like to try to do or have a go at during this year,two big refocus on self care ,in particular showering everyday,including brushing teeth,deoderant,brush hair,body wash,face wash,moisteriser,shampoo,conditioner basically the full works,which means Acheivement three not staying in bed for long periods of time and instead getting up as soon as Ive woken up in the morning,four getting an adequite amount of sleep,five eating regular meals which gives energy to stay motivated throughout the day,yesterday I ate regulary,although did over consume caffiene which will need to be limited today and replaced with water,I do feel in some ways Im trying to spring forward in my life with a few things,one thing I keep saying is theres alot I want to do this year and yes the key word is do,be active,motivated and try to always bring my mind back to positive thoughts rather than wandering over to negative overthinking,its difficult to fight negative thought patterns ,but I really am trying my best,I notice I feel better when Ive given myself full works of showering and changing into clean clothes ,I also keep telling myself things like My power is in I am looking after myself,helping myself,another acheivement is that Ive been focussing on a mix of both mind and body ,what makes me feel good,happy,even though anxiety is hard to control Im speaking kind to myself ,self reasurance,self soothing almost like a parent would soothe a child with kind words and kind acts,I geuss maybe self parenting in a way,or calming the insecurities of the inner child but at the same time taking responsibilty for my wellbeing as an adult would and can,the importance of spontaneous momments of letting go of worry and just being is important,who knows maybe this is a way of me regaing a sense of freedom and contentment within myself,some things that helped yesterday was that Ive been reading a book about resillience,emotional resilliance,spent some time doing mindfullness activities strangely enough playing a certain word search game on my phone helped me to wind down and sleep well last night,also looking at limiting social media have a great day everyone
