And you know what, you really have inspired me with this amazing attitude of yours. We all NEED (I was going to write should but it's not should, it's need) to pursue our passions, we must do the things we love to do in this short life. I think I will get back into some of my old hobbies and past-times...
Wow, there are so many simple pleasures when you really start thinking about it eh. So many of which we may even just glance over until moments like these where we can share them.
1. Checking something off a to-do list (such a sense of accomplishment)
2. Cloud watching and figuring out what shapes they are...
3. A clean, organized house and office :)
.... I feel like I could go on for days! Be sure to allow yourself some simple pleasures everyday! We all deserve it!
I commit to you that I will participate in the weekly program discussions. I will attempt to actively participate by facilitating discussions and listening. I will also try to gain some understanding of my self through the discussions about the program and issues brought to the discussion.
I believe in treating all persons with dignity and respect. I will also be honest in my responses. I hold these values high.
I understand that each persons issues are unique to them and very real.
I commit to working through the program, reviewing program session and try to remember program content.
I will admit when I don't know something or am unsure so as not to lead others astray.
I will try to assist other members when possible and be open-minded, willing to learn.
Doing my activity tracker, I have noticed that my depression seems to be worst in the evening. It's like I'm reflecting on the day and all I can see is the negative things that occured. In the morning, I wake up feeling optimistic and ready to tackle another day, hoping I won't get depressed throughout. But I usually always do, it's almost like sleeping resets everything. Anyone else ever feel that way?
I have to agree with Fallabee12. Since really working through the programs and going through the sessions I have been more at peace with myself and content. Because of this I dwell on things a lot less and I can therefore get to sleep a bit quicker. On top of that my sleep has been of a better quality. I finally feel like I have done something about my depression and that I am in more control of this. The more time I put into the program the better I feel about myself. As I was mentioned in the session 1 discussion, my nights are usually quite terrible because I dwell on the day that occured and feel badly about it. Slowly but surely I have seen a big improvement in my nights and I'm guessing it will continue to get even better.
I just read this post now! It is wonderful to hear that you are back and work and loving it! I love hearing you doing well, you are an awesome person, you deserve to be happy!
I've been extremely busy these days so I've been quite slow to respond and I apologize for this. I want to be more active in contributing to this program walkthrough but I've had so many patients the last week because I will be on holidays for two weeks.
I've been experimenting with doing puzzles. It can be frustrating at times, but it's really rewarding when you complete a puzzle. I set myself up at a table, and I can plug away at the puzzle for hours and hours. But not only have I been doing puzzles, but I've been working on them with my kids and my wife. This has been a great little activity for us to do and it makes me happy that I can do something with them and joke and laugh when we can't find where a piece goes.
Anyone else have any activities that me and my family could do together?
I'm sorry I haven't shared any of my accomplishment activities with you lately I have been really busy at work. But I am holidays now and will hopefully be able to check in more frequently.
Boards games are a great idea! I actually just bought one this morning for my family for xmas. Hopefully the competitive nature of my family won't get in the way of the "fun"! haha
Make those resolutions and stick with them! I know I intend to! One of my resolutions is to learn something new. I'm not sure what yet, but i'm gonna find something I've wanted to learn and go with it!
Anyone else care to share their resolutions or have any ideas about something new I can learn?
