Positive things you've done for your wellbeing

Former Member

Right, this is inspired by Scary Monster's relentless mission to remind people of the good stuff when things look a bit shit. I bow to you, ma'am.

Here's the deal; when you do something that is good (short or long term) for your wellbeing (however you perceive it), post it here.

Others will learn from you and you'll have a little reminder of the things that have made you feel better in the past.

So, today I bought air freshener and fabric conditioner to help me feel better about my room. Now my plan is to wash my sheets, have a shower and touch up my roots.

You've mad me grin massively!

Also, touching up my roots and putting mascara on.

Former Member

well just to explain before i say, i have an obsession with buying things for other people, to make me happy.

But yeah, feeling low, walking home thinking about 'dark stuff'
and instead i went a bought my mummy some flowers

Former Member

Unintentional, but I had to cycle to work and back twice today as I left something at home. Felt great to burn off some stress in the sun.

Getting back into rowing sessions in the morning, AND making time for breakfast after. 45 mins on a rowing machine followed by a bowl of cereal sets me up nicely for the day.

I joined Slimming World a few weeks ago. I had put on a lot of weight with my medication and now I'm slowly but surely losing it with this healthy eating plan. It feels really good to be eating this healthy but still being allowed chocolate and other yummies. And my Risperidone belly is going down so I'm feeling much more confident.

Former Member

I do swimming (if I can) at least once a week.

Former Member

Improving my diet, taking nutritional supplements, and cutting out certain substances. Exercise should be next on the list but I can't bring myself to do any.

Former Member

Yesterday and today I spent just a couple of hours sitting with my friends in a beer garden/park. Just 1 or 2 hours and i feel so much better than getting stuck in a rut where i never go out or do anything other than sitting with my roommates in the kitchen

Me and my mummy have started walking to and from work every Friday. It's just under 3 miles each way, and according to her phone app we burn around 400kcal each way too.

Former Member

I went out to the pub with a good friend and drank a little bit too much.

Other than that, I'm going to the gym most days. It really does make me feel better (and offsets- to an extent- the fatness caused by beer).

Former Member

I went for a run really early this morning, it was so peaceful.
Had a nice refreshing shower and have painted my toe nails bright orange :thumb:
Bring it on world nothing can get me down today :hyper:

Former Member

Run followed by Innocent veg pot. Mmmmmm

Former Member

I wander as much as possible! That's not too straining for my body, but helps to improve my condition. Unfortunately it's spring and I am allergic, so I have to stay at home at the moment

This week I have:

1. Been gardening in containers in my back yard. I used to do this in the PD unit as there was a lovely garden there and I miss it so doing this has made me feel better. Got plenty more gardening to do as well.

2. Got my paint brushes, paints and canvas out. Again something I used to do in the PD unit but I've not done it for ages. It's very relaxing and I can express some of my feelings through abstract art.

3. Been back to yoga class. I went last summer but didn't return when I got home from my summer holiday. Was glad to get back and stretch out and chill again.

Also I have booked some Shiatsu which is amazing, I highly recommend it and some acupunture which I haven't tried before.

Good thread idea

I've cut out almost all sugar from my diet and this morning I fit into a pair of jeans from around the time I got pregnant. I feel gorgeous

I took Mrs. P. on a 6km walk around the university parks this afternoon. Lovely walk and potential new running circuit!
