What did you do right today? Part 2

Well, it was the other day in combination to today--

I wrote and said an simple solution to the nagging problem, not to my supervisor though- to whom it would need to be approval of for the purchase.... (Some one higher than supervisor)..

It is a good thing-- Instead of me spending another second of boggling my head with this stupid thing-- I stepped up and just asked for what was needed.. Instead of "fighting" with my supervisor on how wrong she is, i took another route to fix the problem...

it is such a trivial thing, a really small thing... so nothing big... thus why is the supervisor making it so big~ who knows.. but beauflow took that leap and asked.. and not only that-- I got an A-Ok for getting it fixed.. and one will be coming soon!

Went to work and managed to hang in until it was time to go home.

Today I woke up worrying about the mistakes from Monday. Had to deal with the same person again but I handled it better even though he spoke to me very slowly like I was a three year old needing direction.

Got two assignments done within a day of being requested. That felt good not to procrastinate.

sorry again this was not today-- but a few days ago I gave a bear that I had made to sell that did not sell, but I gave a co-worker their choice of what I brought in, so they could give it to a family member that is going through a tough time. I know the co-worker thanked me, but that was not the point of me giving them the bear... It is just a really sad story that I heard that this person is going through, and even though I don't know them, will never meet them-- I wanted to give them something for the struggle they are having to bear right now... never too old for a bear

I guess today-- I have done well with Flow...

made a phone call that needed to be done. turned out to be good as appt date had changed, so avoided phone tag to make the change. controlled my anxiety and depression. still think I need antidepressant. mood varies.

Updated all my pending work in the morning and took the afternoon off to enjoy a matinee. Only worried during it for 10 % of the time.

Having a "PJ" Saturday. My day to just unwind. And my husband fully supports it. What could be better?

taking time out to relax and rest

I find weekends can be really hard but the thread is about what did I do right. I did some chores and rewarded myself with reading a good book.

Went for a long walk to a new park. It was good to try something new.

I let myself sleep as much as I needed. I used to feel so guilty about that (sleeping the day away). But after talking to my dr, I realize, for now, it's what I need to do.

On that note, I took a nap. I love naps, and also have learned to not feel guilty about them. My body just needs a LOT of rest it seems...

-Cooked a real meal
-Went to work
-Didn't have conversation with the person who is bad for me

did grocery shopping, though by the time I made it back home, I depleted by energy levels. tried to wind down, but could only last 20 minutes. spent some time on PC not really settling down. conversation with sales clerk.

Survived Monday. Person I thought had a problem with me last week said hello to me without expecting anything. It reminded me of how often I have emphasized the bad part of the interaction instead of the good. Today, I didn't add to the list.

just woke up from a much needed sleep.

received email from someone who I was worried about.

a lot of things came up that seem like--ok distraction here so that this other news could sound a lot worst if delivered alone. But the distractor information provided cover for the other information that could be a target of arguing and too much discussion. Cover first by attacking with blaming and defensive response will make more important information escape much discussion and examination.

Have you ever seen this behavior pattern instead of the silent treatment?

I gave myself a nice pep talk and made a plan to get myself back on track.

I am trying to give myself a pep talk and trying to plan... it is hard.. it is something so simple-- exercising but it is difficult for me.. pep talks can be good though, I already did some small exercises today just need to not get discourage with it will be small and long process right?

-Went to work
-Read a chapter
-Completed two homework assignments

Put the things I had to do in my planner! (I have ADHD and I'm working with my t to be more organized) she was telling me how I did an awesome job so that made me feel great!

I got on the elevator with 5 attractive men. I didn't run out of there screaming (after they all followed me in). I pushed the button and took my place. I looked at the Captivate screen. I made sure to keep breathing. I made it to my office without fainting.
(small victory)

I did not burn the french toast I made for breakfast..

Got my computer working again. Did not annoy anyone today.

Ate cereal and fruit with skimmed milk, first time i've managed breakfast in weeks. Fed birds in my garden.

I was able to concentrate and give support to others without freaking out or losing patience,
