365 Project

365 Project

I recently read about the 365 Project that was started by someone who was having difficulty with depression I think.. she took a photo everyday for a year of something that she was grateful for/enjoyed etc

I was wondering if we could do something like that on here, share a picture/ describe something... about something that we are grateful for each day with a little comment.. for instance

We had a great pre breakfast time building a tree house for the elephant complete with a water hole and pool! So grateful for fun times!

Mods... would this be ok?!?

Re: 365 Project

Hi @Mazarita

Thanks for doing that. I just drove into Margaret River and bought my son a metal thing that will hold his mobile still while he takes selfies.

I am grateful today I have worked out how to post one of my artwork online.

The audio that I really want to post is a Jon Kabat Zinn audio called "Wherever you go, There You are,' which is wonderful and I will get my youngest son to show me how to do it tomorrow.

The audio helped me through my very darkest days last year.

This is a picture I did that I sucessfully blanked my name out. the poem says;

: The wind blows hard against my body

Emotions match the wild sea

I swear

Stretch my arms up high

Step forward

I will never stay still

One I was tethered

Now I am free

Today I am very gratrful for talking to @Mazarita

I need support and she has kickstarted my need to go to group therapy in Arafmi.

Weird.....my best artwork was done in absolute grief and stress

Re: 365 Project

Thankyou, @PeppiPatty. I'm glad to be talking with you today too.

Today I am also especially grateful for my peer mentor. She is so smart, inspiring, interesting and kind. She took me out to a group meditation today. We will be going again together next week too, and soon after that I plan to be going regularly on my own. The session involved guided breath meditations, chanted meditation, meditative music and singing. My mentor will only be with me for the next few weeks and in the new year I will be starting again with someone new. I'm just making the most of my time with this lovely woman who is already helping me step further out of my shell.

Today I am grateful for my pharmacist. I just needed statins and blood pressure tabs today, but they realised I was over the edge a couple of months ago ... and are still kind to me ...

Dear @Appleblossom @Mazarita and @Jacques

Has my picture come out yet?

Thankyou for the kind messages.

Maritza, thankyou for helping me realise I need support with my hub and will be contacting Arafmi when we get back to where I live.

I have sent an email to the moderators crying I have no dies why I cant seem to post my picture.

Maritza, you are really walking toward new living. Is your mentor a Support person, like what @WombatBoots does?

Re: 365 Project

Anne you need to wait with the pictures, the moderators need to approve it, this can sometimes take up to an hour. try to be patient.

Thanks @Jacques

Re: 365 Project

Hi @PeppiPatty. Yes, @Jacques is right. Pictures posted to the forum always take a little bit of time to come through. But I can see your picture now, I like it. It seems sometimes the way that dark moments can be highly creative too. Best wishes with your new resolve to access some support again through ARAFMI. Yes, my peer mentor does a similar job to @WombatBoots I think. She is a 'PHaMs' worker.

Hi @Jacques. Thanks for your kind message that included me earlier. It's great to think that us being here is helpful to you. I'm glad you are here with us too.
