Hey Pandas, What Is One Good Thing You've Done For Yourself Lately? (Closed)

I went to my sons grave site and decorated it. I put up a solar light then laid down and talked to him with my daughter in tow. We had a really good conversation and I felt at peace finally after leaving. And so did my daughter. My older sons are teenagers and in therapy over his death and didn't want to come so I respected that. After i came home and baked homemade cookies and we all sat down and laughed about him being a little character. It was peaceful. Finally.

Stop smoking.

1 week and only killed 3 people...

I started taking a swords class. It's not a very strenuous workout, but is still good exercise and much more fun than exercising for exercising's sake. And when the zombie apocalypse comes, I can be Michonne!!

Trying not to be so hard on myself and trying to accept who I am

I've been working at setting better boundaries with people and putting myself first in certain situations. Really happy with the effect it had on my mental health.

I've been taking it a bit easier

Smiled.
It's been a while. When she saw it my wife told me how long it's been since she saw me smile.
I'm trying to be more positive now and smile a little every day. And for some reason, when I started doing that I started feeling a little better about myself and I find that I'm smiling a little bit more without even thinking about it. Still have work to do though.

Watched movies all day on a rainy day with my man and popcorn popped on the stove.

Got in touch with a job resource centre to help with my resume and job counselling. I'm getting close to being ready for a much needed job change.

I gave ny two weeks notice yesterday from a job I worked for 4,5 years.

Breaking off a relationship with someone who kept stringing me along. He was really sweet to me at first until I realized he was playing me- he has a girlfriend and he's been being really flirty with me. When someone asks him about it though, he never liked me! He would keep passing me notes in class about how we would be together soon and stuff like that but I find it unfair to do that to both me and his girlfriend. Sorry for my rant but yeah I'm glad I canceled it before we could really be an official couple.

I decided to give university a break and try to get my health back on track instead.

This means I will have to add a whole year to get my Master's degree but I only have one body which has been through some sh*t recently (nothing major but various tooth surgeries, inflammations in my wrist and three cold-related infections the last two months). Additionally I work a part-time job that has been rough recently.

It's a pretty big deal to me as I feel like a total failure but I guess that's part of the problem that has to be solved. I'll try my best but already feel relief kicking in.

Stopped feeling bad for finding time for myself. I have two little kids and it always felt wrong when I went out with friends or jogging or whatever. I had to experience burn out syndrome to start thinking differently and see that to be a good mum and wife I have to be myself first.

Sleep early. It was nothing much and it's not like I consistently sleep early, but the day that I did was better than the day I didn't.

I told people I needed rest like the grown woman i'm not

I forced myself to get up and make french toast when I was in a bad mental space, doing something with my hands helped a lot :)
It was really good french toast too-

Cut out alcohol, coffee and chocolate. I’m drinking more herbal tea and taking turmeric and lemon water in the morning. After a few headaches, I’m starting to feel better

I was a heavy smoker. Went cold turkey on 31st dec. Also, healthy food habits.

I accepted (with the help of therapy) that I'm only responsible for my own actions and how I handle my feelings. I'm not responsible for other peoples actions or how they choose to handle their feelings. Also; you can't force anyone or yourself to change, it must come from a place of free will.
Realizing this was a huge relief (have some issues in my marriage).

I was honest with my feelings and told my boyfriend I loved him. I was the one to say it first.
