Aging and Accepting

Debora,

It sounds like you are moving in a positive direction..Taking it slow and easy with the program is a good idea..Thats what I have done too..I have been here a long while now and you know what they say "slow and steady wins the race.".

Accomplishments and other Postive Things

I finally made it back to my quilting class yesterday..It was a bit of a three ring circus and I did get a little hyper. I should get adjusted to it by my next class meeting..I had a nice time visiting while I was there.

Today I am off and out of here to shop for fabric for a class fabric exchange. I will be cutting Christmas fabric into forty,

10 inch squares to exchange with the other quilters in class..I am not sure what we are making yet but it should be fun...

Talk to you all later,

Have a great everyone!

Drop in and say hello

I thought I would drop in real quick and say hello this afternoon..With a little update..

I have been doing a lot of exposure the last few weeks outside of my home. I was getting pretty tired from it all yesterday afternoon and this morning..So I took my vitamins this morning and all is well again..I am really surprised at how fast I bounced back this time..

I am going to sign out of the forum for the weekend early this week. I have lots and lots to do..I have a fabric exchange coming up in my quilting class next Tuesday and jury duty on Thursday..So I am planing and getting a head start on my projects..I have done all of the work exposure shopping for fabrics and now I working on getting the fabric ready for the exchange..This involves many steps. Selecting the fabrics, prewashing, drying, pressing and starching the fabric and then cutting the fabric into forty 10" perfect squares, which I will be taking to my class and exchanging them with other classmates..These squares will later be utilized in the formation of quilts block which will later be used to complete a quilt..It takes time and patience.

This whole process reminds me of how I worked the cbt program..With planned exposure and in small steps..Kind of like making a quilt..and just like a quilt the reward is priceless..

Keep working the program everyone and you will get there..

p.s.

Davit sorry to hear about your hip. I hope you are letting yourself rest today, tomarrow and all of this weekend..

So that you can get well soon..

Making adjustments

I am still making adjustments as far as the freeway goes..They never did put the trees in to cut down on the noise so we put up a fence and it is helping with the noise and other things...

I have found out that I after doing cbt for the last two years I have been able to make more adjustments in my life as time goes by. I call this challenging my anxious and negative thoughts.Yesterday a phone call came in and my partner was on the phone with one of his kids... Immediately my mind thought there must be a problem and started to go into overdrive..

I surprised myself and was able to take my mind off of the imagery problem and refocus on the project I was working on. I think this is what the educators call re framing here on the site..I am not sure? Any way I went back to what I was doing and made a lot of progress on my project last night..In fact I have noticed over the last few weeks that I am now doing this with lots of other things that have come up in my life..I don't seemed to get paralyzed with anxiety and panic anymore..I am able to think things out and re frame my thinking before things snowballed out of control...

Anyway this is how it has been progressing for me working the program here..I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that it is getting easier for them to make adjustments to things and situations in life since they have been doing the cbt program??

Making adjustments

Ashley and Davit,

Thank you for the support and Adda Boys..

The changes I have experienced and the reframing has been so subtle that I hardly noticed it was happening. Till last night when I was able to reframe my thinking and go back to working on my project. Which I was enjoying doing. It brought tears to my eyes when I realized what had just happened..I had changed for the better and it was becoming part of who I am now.

My reward is being able to enjoy my life more fully..This would not have been possible without the program here

and all of the support I have received from everyone here..When I think about the changes and progress I have made

it brings tears to my eyes..I am looking forward to the positive changes that will come as move forward.

Drop in and say hello

Davit,
It's good to hear your spirits are up and that you live in such a nice community..You are so lucky..

As for me I added a new member to our family today..I just put up her pic for everyone to see. She is 7 months old and so cute and loving with lots of energy. We got her though a animal rescue and when I saw her I just had to have her and bring her home..She has adjusted to the house already..It's like so was born to be here with us..I am looking forward to spoiling her rotten..Of course I already got a jump start on that one..
