Celebrate your successes!

Oops, wrong thread

Not necessarily. Cooking a good meal is definitely a success to celebrate for.

Hmm.. I've been doing meal preps now. So I have food to eat. I've been washing dishes so its not so bad..

I was successful at an eating contest. I ate 10 pies, 20 hot dogs and a 3 quart churn full of butter. They got made because they wanted me to eat only the butter and not the churn itself. Folk can be funny that way sometimes.

Let's all create a success and then celebrate it?

This is mine: listen to meditation daily for a week

That's an awesome goal! I struggle with actual meditation, or at routine in general, but I think when I listen to some of my music, it has a similar effect.

Meditation is good, it causes you to relax and concentrate. I got into it when I started getting into martial arts many years ago.

I'm not sure what counts as meditation, when I wake up every morning I have anxiety and have tried closing my eyes and just focusing on a specific noise outside my window like birds singing or cars driving past (still plenty despite lockdown!) and sometimes that has helped calmed me down. Is that sort of like meditation?!

Hmmm, not sure what goal I can set.... it would be nice to be able to become calm enough to get through at least one day without crying and/or thinking negatively

@lost_in_a_fairytale I guess meditation is a broad term, I guess listening to the birds chirping and other relaxing sounds at sunrise counts. I have terrible anxiety in the morning too which is why I chose meditation as my success. If it relaxes you, go for it

Yayyy! Its legit so peaceful in my life. Sure I have toxic mum and dysfunctional family but I’ve been focusing on my own wellbeing to let that go.

ugh I hate it so much. Soon as I wake up reality hits me again and the anxiety is overwhelming. If I'm not too tired and can force myself out of bed I find going for a walk first thing gets rid of my anxiety to a large extent, at least physically if not mentally. I have been lucky that a couple of days the past week I've woken up with barely any anxiety so those days made a nice change. Have you ever listened to ASMR videos on youtube? they work magic for my anxiety usually.

One of the ways I found to be great is in how you breathe. I can drive my doctor crazy when I go in like a couple of weeks ago for my every 6 month visit to refill prescriptions. He breaks out the stethoscope and does the breathe in and breathe out. Most Americans breathe quick and short. With me each breath in and out is about 10 seconds each.

Honestly, within 60 seconds of waking, literally I am taking anti anxiety medicine, are you on any? It definitely sets me up for the day (90 percent of the time) but I do get anxiety spikes all day long, its a constant struggle and battle. I'm glad you find that walking helps. I exercise near-daily too, it does help and I feel a sense of accomplishment after doing it. What is ASMR?

I appreciate the tag @BlackOpium as you are my favourite in the forum postings but I am a total loser in stuff like this and always will be

What is ASMR?

Some call ASMR ear or head tingles, just a sound that gives fun and pleasing feeling to your hearing. A soft whisper. Some find the sound of typing gently on a keyboard the same. Almost hypnotic like to many people.
