Way to go Barbara!!! Feels good doesn't it? Gives us a bit more incentive to take more baby steps. I too over the last week, have been trying things, that I normally avoided. Mowing the yard, would make me panicky because I would get hot and short of breath, that I would give up and feed into the negative thoughts. But last week, I keep feeding off the positive thoughts, if I get hot or tad bit short of breathe, its normal, who wouldnt in 80 degree heat and humidity? I decided I might take it in spurts but I will finish it. So I set my plan into motion. Started around 10:30 in the am, mowed, got most of it done, came in drank some water, let the AC cool me down, and went back out and finished it!!!! The exercise of it, and the positive thoughts, made me feel so good afterwards. That I even grabbed my daughter (who can drive) and told her Im feeling really good today, lets go to Wal-Mart, but let me drive, its only a mile from me, I still needed her with me for the "just in case" scenario, but I did it!! I feeled like I won the lottery that day, I was so happy, so thankful I did it! I was in the best mood for the remainder of the day.!!! Im so glad you felt the same way. Baby steps is right, but we will get to those bigger steps eventually. I know I cant do the bigger things right now. But I was perfect content and it boosted my self esteem, for those smaller goals I did succeed with. Please keep posting your achievements on your baby steps. It these type posts that encourage me more too. And Im am just as excited and thrilled for you, and I am for myself.
Have a good day!!!
Trish
