Riding a wave

Just popping into the "Riding a wave" thread to give a shout out to the Pocket crew @CheerBear @Phoenix_Rising! How are your Thursdays going?

Hi @Former-Member (and yes I am still tagging ),

It is super nice that you came to visit out on the ocean today. I had a very productive morning and then the afternoon has gone a bit upside down. But that's ok. I think I'm going to accept that my other planned goal for the day isn't going to happen, and I'm going to go and do some DBT-ing instead.

@CheerBear I am super glad we can always find each other in Forum Land even in the dark. I guess that's probably because I am usually in your pocket.

Hey @CheerBear,

I am working on the DBT adventure in the dark.

I have edited the first page of the thread. Do you want to suss it out? I have said that the relevant posts have headings in big blue font...so now I need you to edit some of your headings to put them in big blue font.

The font I have used is blue (obviously!), bold, level 4. Let me know if you think this is ok. If you want to choose something different, that's a bazillion percent fine, just let me know so that I can change mine because I think it would be good to keep them consistent to help people find the relevant posts.

There are three headings I need you to edit (wow that sounds bossy doesn't it ...please).

• The first one is on page 4 where you talked about the idea of accepting emotions. Can you please add a heading: Accepting Our Emotions?
• The second one is on page 5 where you did your overview. Can you please add a heading: An Overview of DBT.
• The third one is your post from Monday, which is on page 7. Can you please change font for the heading: Orientation, Goals and Guidelines.

Also, when I named that last link, I left off the "Step 1" bit because I thought it might make a muddle when my post next Monday is also step 1. I was wondering whether we go step 1a, step 1b etc., or whether we need to state the steps at all given that we have no idea how many substeps it is going to take us to get through a "step." What do you think?

I'm super glad we have a good supply of torches here in Forum Land.

@Phoenix_Rising guess what?! It appears we were both sitting at the DBT desk by torch light at the same time. How's that for together but not?!

The first page looks so good!!! I will edit my posts now to keep them consistent also (this is a brilliant idea)!

Re the steps, I have no idea because I have just reviewed the schedule and noticed week 1 also included what I thought was week 2 (Wise mind) haha. Yay for having no attention to detail me 😛 I'll ponder this unless you want to make a call on it yourself. I can see the advantage of breaking it into "steps" of some kind, but can also see how it might be a tricky thing to do.

Off to bold and blue some stuff 🙂

It is time for this little turtle to snuggle in for the night. I am sad because I have been practicing waiting for something this evening and the thing I'm waiting for hasn't happened yet, and now I'm too sleepy to keep waiting. Yay for me for practicing waiting and not being impulsive. Good job me.

I am going to snuggle in my shell in @CheerBear's pocket while she snuggles in her blanket in her nest with @Former-Member who is in her book pod in CheerBear's nest in the inner sanctum (welcome to the inner sanctum bookish) in the underwater cave alllllllllllllll the way at the bottom of the ocean.

@Former-Member are you watching over the ocean tonight?

Hey @CheerBear and @Former-Member? Do you want to listen to a story? Let's listen to this one...on repeat...all night.

Good night Forum Land.

I am so very grateful to be welcomed into the inner sanctum @Phoenix_Rising and @CheerBear. I could definitely do with some big safe feelings to counteract the unsafe ones that are pestering me. (Stupid brain.) 🙁

I hope you are both tucked up snuggly and sleeping soundly. May tomorrow (technically today) be kind to us all. 🌷
