LOOK AT YOU GO! What a fabulous lead in to a new year!

I started 2024 by not going to parkrun because it was cold and I didn’t want to. So, not an auspicious start to the year. But, it’s my birthday tomorrow and I don’t normally start a new year until January 3rd for precisely this reason. lol, excuses, but at least it’s the same one every year.

My husband has been having some mental health challenges that have cast a considerable pall over, well, a lot of the last year. He’s been doing better over the past couple of weeks, which has been really wonderful. I’ve been embracing that with both hands, because it’s rare and precious. It hasn’t gotten me any fitter, but it has made me happier and damnit I’ll take that every time.

I'm glad to hear your husband has had a better couple of weeks, both for his sake and yours.

I used healthy coping skills last night to sit through some feelings.

I'm super anxious today. DEPLOYING THE HEALTHY SKILLS. I can handle this. I've done it so much!

1. DEPLOY THE SKILLS is no my go to phrase when I need healthy coping skills
2. I did a good job yesterday!

DEPLOY THE SKILLS!

What a great rallying cry. I might add another post-it to my monitor, which is where I keep all my important reminders:-
“Put your own oxygen mask on first!”
“What do you deserve credit for today?”
“There are seven days in a week, and someday is not one of them.”
“What would D.M. do?” (Possibly the most consistent friend I have!)

(Life is better with post-it notes haha)

I hope you’re still having a good week!
