Some guidelines I have set for myself now. I'll post here regularly to talk about my successes and failures regarding them, and to update the list when needed.

Feel free to join in with your own experiences and guidelines, if you'd like.

Mine
1. Try not to react defensively to anything, unless it's honest and necessary.
2. There's a certain issue (kinda private) I've been extremely concerned and anxious about. I'm gonna give myself a ten-year break from searching for a solution. I can afford the time and it would likely be beneficial, and lead to success.
3. If I know something is good/bad for me, I'll try my best to never let anyone make me doubt it. Not even "the experts". For examples: Certain... plants. And certain people.
4. Devote at least one hour a day to "personal hygiene". Sometimes I'll do 30 minutes, twice a day.

These are all for now. Wishing myself, and all of you, the best of luck!

5. Try to say at least one helpful thing to at least one person, each day.

Okay! It's late at night. Time to review how I did today.

#1: I failed at this, even at the "trying" part. I reacted badly to a few articles and blog entries I read around the internet. Totally triggering and most of the stuff was garbage on top of that. I got defensive and I was honest but it wasn't necessary.

#2: I've been bugging myself about this issue again, even though I know I shouldn't be right now. This was an extra bad day, though. I've had better ones and I will again. I hope.

#3: *sighs* It sucks that a part of me believes everything other say about me or my life.

#4: I absolutely did not do this.

#5: I don't think I did this either.

This was a very, very bad day. Seriously, I WOKE UP miserable!

Here's one for me: Try not to expect the worst (anxiety-wise)

I'm failing so hard. I shouldn't have even made this thread. I don't care anymore.
