I had a good day

I had a good day

Hey everyone so I thought I'd let u all know that I finally decided last night enough is enough time to start a new life for myself. So I decided to take everything one moment at a time and not stress about anything. I also did something today I am very proud of and that is when my son was naughty this evening I decided to walk away before I got angry instead of getting angry I chose to walk away and it helped me calm down.

It's only the first day but hey small victories. If anyone wants to talk to me daily feel free I am looking for someone who is interested in doing that maybe motivate each other or something

Hey @Matty19901 what an awesome post

Good on you for both taking that action in the moment (I know it's not an easy thing to do!) and for noticing it and celebrating it, and encouraging others too!

I hope today is another good day

Re: I had a good day

@Ru-bee thanks 😊 so far my days going good but I'm just taking it one moment at a time not trying to aim at the start of the day to go the whole day because to me that adds stress I'm just living in the moment and seeing how it all goes
