Power of Positivity

Hard night, 4.30am. Thought I'd come here and write something positive to balance things with the worry room post just finished.

5 or more positive things I feel about myself today:

. I avoided a potentially nasty exchange in the car with a support worker by dealing well with an intense emotional response in me to some things she said throughout the day that I found belittling, though they were meant to be helpful.

. I was still grateful and thanked her for the beautiful national park place we visited. I wouldn't have been there without support to do it.

. I have myself researched and booked NDIS support for these weekly national park visits we are doing together, my own idea on how I can gain fitness, spend time in healing nature and find more enjoyment of life.

. I continue to listen to my psychologist's hypnosis and meditation recordings daily, and to do other homework from his six week mindfulness-based course I am part of, and especially that I am finding healing in this.

. I finished a video last night, watched it again today and am really happy with it. It's a live-performance music video for a local solo muso I really enjoyed at a small poetry event recently.

Well done @LostAngel l have been thinking of you Xx

Thank you @Oaktree

@Mazarita Sorry you hard such a hard night Maz, but I'm really glad you came here and listed out some positives as that is exactly what this space is for. I'm sorry you had a difficult interaction with your support worker and I'm really proud of you for handling it and avoiding a nasty exchange as you put it.

Personally I still cannot handle those situations, they trigger my c-ptsd and I dissociate completely, then generally struggle with the fallout of a meltdown afterwards. So it's very understandable and completely identify with the fact you had such a tough night. I hope the day goes better for you as it moves forward.
I am so happy for you that you are finding the mindfulness course with your psychologist healing. And I envy you the National Parks visits, they sound amazing.
Take care of yourself hon, sending you big warm healing hugs xx

hi @bipolarbunny I havent bought one as yet but have decided on buying a Mazda CX7 SUV as it will suit my needs for the short term as well as the long term maybe a 2011 model but definetly a second hand one,I think its worth the investment.

@LostAngel Sounds awesome my friend! I have a little Hyundai Accent Sport, absolutely love it. Good luck with finding your perfect motor match! xx
