2. WSL starting
3. Tottenham coming to Villa 2nd home game.
Something to be optimistic about… buying a car.

This is an easy one for me cos it’s something I generally do every day.
Day 8

Today I’m off out car shopping so not really got time to do any projects.
Isn’t car shopping a project?
I suppose it is when I think about it. Woohoo! I will achieve todays challenge after all.

I took up a new hobby and am learning the basics
It sounds daft but I struggle with this because I have had to reduce my expectations about what is and isn’t achievable and the victories seem too small to celebrate, but I was very proud of myself for my short train journey on Sunday. It may only have been two stops but 1. I was on my own, 2. It was a route I wasn’t familiar with, 3. I didn’t know the layout of the station at the other end, 4. I was meeting someone I didn’t know and never seen before.
My anxiety was through the roof and it would’ve been easy to turn around and go home but I didn’t so something to be proud of even if it seems like a small thing to most people.

Ooo this is a good one. Today I’m thanking myself that every day I get dressed (eventually), regardless of how I feel
I thank myself for being proactive and trying to organise my life.
Day 16

Too much going on today for me, but it’s a good rule of thumb for any day

Day 17

Hmmmm, I think I want to see more acceptance in society and I guess by being non judgemental and inclusive of others I hope that wears off on others
Day 18

Already done this. The next few days are about getting the car sorted, nothing too strenuous or stressful but it will make me feel I but better about the car in the long run.

I've that feeling too what seems a good idea while lying in bed loses its appeal when I get up ah well I 'll do it tomorrow, maybe ;)

I’m very maternal so hoping it’ll help Katie out in the future when (hopefully) she has her own children ;)
I guess my never give up attitude will get me somewhere eventually.

Of! That is literally the opposite of what I have been advised to do elsewhere today for my own well-being. That advice is something I struggle to get on board with.
