WEEKLY RECAP January 25th - 31st, 2020 |
|
|
Highlights from the Blog and Facebook |
|
|
| | Saturday, January 25th (AM) We want life to be straightforward. Black and white. All one thing or another. If only. | | |
|
| | Saturday, January 25th (PM) Don’t make generalizations about yourself, your life, or your future based on isolated events. | | |
|
|
| | Sunday, January 26th (AM) All we can do is what we can do. All we can be responsible for is our behavior, in this moment. That doesn’t mean we should stop working for change. | | |
|
| | Sunday, January 26th (PM) All focusing on the positive, or the potential positive, in a situation means is that you’re choosing to focus in a way that empowers you as opposed to a way that drains you. | | |
|
|
| | Monday, January 27th (AM) Being wrong, making mistakes— those things happen in the real world. No matter how careful or thoughtful or well-intentioned we are, those things are GOING to happen. | | |
|
| | Monday, January 27th (PM) If we’re really interested in being happier, we really, truly need to give up this illusion that we just KNOW what someone is thinking. | | |
|
|
| | Tuesday, January 28th (Blog) "BEYOND IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT." If you are working to relate to someone who has been abused, or if you are struggling to come to terms with your own abuse history, I want you to remember that the aftereffects of abuse are frequently not straightforward or predictable. | | |
|
| | Tuesday, January 28th (PM) Try not sleeping in the same room as your phone. Try doing one thing in the morning BEFORE you check your phone. Try it for a week. Experiment with how it feels. I know, I know. Your phone has your alarm on it. You might have to get an alarm clock, or set the alarm on your watch. It’s a hassle. | | |
|
|
| | Wednesday, January 29th (AM) If you’ve had negative experiences with the humans in your life, your brain is going to try to tell you that you’re going to have negative experiences with most, if not all, of the humans out there in the world. | | |
|
| | Wednesday, January 29th (PM) Depression has a way of convincing us that we are utterly alone. But we’re not. You need to know that that feeling of aloneness is a symptom of your depression. It’s not reality. | | |
|
|
| | Thursday, January 30th (Blog): “THE LIES DEPRESSION TELLS.” Depression has an array of lies it tries to tell you. “You are worthless.” It’s a lie. | | |
|
| | Thursday, January 30th (PM) You’re not crazy if you go through life desperately wanting to please people— or being terrified of disappointing them. | | |
|
|
| | Friday, January 31st (AM) You may be struggling to FEEL like you can do anything right some days— but the truth is, you absolutely do have strengths. | | |
|
| | Friday, January 31st (PM) Self-discipline takes specific tools and skills that we need to learn and practice. We can’t just “oomph” ourselves into being self-disciplined. | | |
