Don't make change too complicated, just begin.

Don't make change too complicated, just begin.

Dear All,

I thought about how to name this thread, how to share what I want to do. It's pretty easy, I want to change "something". I want to become a little better each day or at least keep heading in the right direction and I want to keep a log on here of what I think I did well for my wellbeing 🙂

Day 1: Signed up for the gym. Meditated 10min. Worked. Cooked a healthy dinner and packed brekkie & lunch. Slept 8hrs. Talked to my best friend and watched TV with my husband. Picked up book 8 keys to safe trauma recovery.

I'm not going to set a schedule or plan too far ahead. Life happens. I just want to embrace life and recognise the little changes I make.

I understand that I am responsible for myself. At least today 😉Tomorrow I might need a reminder 😊

What will you try tomorrow?

Re: Don't make change too complicated, just begin.

Hello @Former-Member,

I am very tired today, so very tired. I feel like I'm trying to do the right thing and then get smacked in the face, pushed into the mud. I'll be ok, I'm a survivor, but I don't think I will come to the forum for a while.

Take care x
