I like to work on various projects to remind myself I am able to contribute to my family and myself. I also like to list out what I am grateful for. Focusing on gratitude helps me to realize just how much I have. I remind myself I am or at least was at one point worthy to receive and that helps at times when I am feeling shameful or worthless.

I also like to spend time with my children. Small people accept you easily and they value you for just spending time with them. They can lift your mood and remind you of the simple things in life.
