finally out the house

thanks guys :) and yes its strange that it does feel normal, i was really suprised with myself, a nice sunny day does help, as theres nothing worse than sitting indoors on a lovely day, so seen as my friend has had a baby im going to make it a regular thing to go see her, shes a really close friend and shes one of the very few that understands me at the minute, so talking to her and actually getting out the house to do so really helps, i think thats a good starting point, make a few days a week to pay her a visit.
thanks for all your support

Sadie.

Good for you, bet it feels good. Have you noticed how when it is good it feels normal but when it is bad there seems to be no reason for it to be bad it just is. That is our minds striving to find something negative. If you can find something positive to attach to the situation all of a sudden it feels normal. Just like the myths, there is nothing wrong with us, we just think there is and boy do we ever do this negative thinking well. (core belief)

Here for you,

Good morning everyone:  Sadie, way to go!  You made me smile and feel happy this morning.  So happy for you.  Hope you take a walk every day, even a little short walk is good if that's all you can manage.  Just go for it with a smile and a knowledge that you can do it.  Keep the faith.  I'm cheering for you.

hey,
after 4 weeks of being sat in my house i have finally left, yesterday the wether was beautiful, the sun was shining and i got this urge to take a walk and see my friend thats just had a baby (good reason to go out) and i was really suprised, even though i havnt been on the program long i can already see benifits, just reading some of the myths have helped me and understanding it more, its no longer so scary, so i managed it, walked to my friends, stayed for about an hour then walked home, i felt great and no longer bound to the house :) hoping to have many days just like that and im so proud of myself.
