Hey all,
I started a thanksgiving post on Thanksgiving and meant to finish but got caught up with the mini-vacation and the weekend festivities. Theres much to talk about so I'm going to get right into it!
Since my last post I've actually been working full time, I picked up a small contract with the company I worked for this past summer, funny how things work out. Things have been going quite well there although I'm up pretty early and its a job that requires me to be on my feet almost all day. Nothing too bad for the most part, its still a job and there are days where I just want to stay in my bed and sleep! I wasn't expecting to stay permanently on but there are some full time positions opening up that I'm going to apply for, hopefully things work out and I can stay or they at least extend my contract for a few more months.
So in my last post I touched briefly on Depersonalization. I still feel a little depersonalized from time to time and they best way I found to combat that thought/feeling is to ignore it. I also practice a technique I learned from a book I read called "The Power of your Subconscious Mind". I forget exactly what the technique was called but basically its a small positive saying/phrase that you write down and repeat to yourself once or twice a day in a relaxed state both mental and physical. In the morning when I wake up, I brush my teeth and stretch my arms while practicing some simple breathing techniques and repeat my positive saying:
"Today is going to be a good day. It may seem hard, it may seem tough but never loose faith and never give up. Today is going to be a good day."
I wrote that phrase myself a few months ago but got out of the habit in rehearsing it daily. I've also added some more to it that goes:
"Those thoughts in your head about things not seeming normal are false thoughts. They can't harm you and they aren't harmful, Today is going to be a good day."
"Those thoughts in your head about negativity or things going wrong are also false thoughts. They can't harm you and they aren't harmful, Today is going to be a good day."
I repeat this to myself in the morning in front of my mirror with a smile on my face and with a positive attitude! For me it helps, even when I'm not feeling 100%. Its something I suggest trying out for yourself and you can write your own saying and customize it anyway that you'd like. Look into the book "The Power of your subconscious mind" by Dr. Joseph Murphy. I believe I've touched on the book before, in the coming months I hope to re-read the book a second time and pick up anything I may have missed.
Otherwise my anxiety has been normal, good days and bad days.
I'll be posting a Part 2 of Happy Late Thanksgiving tomorrow afternoon about my weekend adventures and new features that I've been working on. BUT for now Its late and I need to be up early in the morning.
Stay happy, stay healthy
