Focusing on what i did right today
Today I got out of bed and had a bath, and whilst doing this I told myself I must not feel negative thoughts and emotions.
Then I decided I wanted to take my dog for a stroll to get a breath of fresh air, but he just pulled my all the way which made me feel a bit down.
When I got home my dad moaned at me for about ten minutes about doing something around the house to help him and I just nodded politely and went to my room.
After about an hour of surfing the Internet I went to make myself a brew as I knew my dad had gone out to the shop so the coast was clear.
I avoid confrontation now more than I ever did before, its kind of like it scares me and I am never sure how well I would deal with these kinds of situations anymore.
This hasn’t been a bad day as I have managed to get through it without punishing myself or others for the way I feel, so all in all today has been a good day I think.

Thankyou Mary!
I am especially thankful for you acknowledging my efforts as lot of people are prone to thinking living life doesn’t take much effort, you just need to get on with it.
However if this is how easy life is for them then I would swap with them anytime.

Advice from Anthony Robbins:
Try to be happy. If the negative emotions come, do not let it last for more than
one minute. Just force yourself to do that, and if you can insist for ten days, you
will be able to master your emotion and you will enjoy the pleasure feeling.

Sound like a very nice way of thinking and looking out on life.
I just wish it was as easy as this, everything seem’s to take that bit longer for me!
