Advice & Discussions
Exercise: ask forum questions in real life
I am a person who spent years and years on forums asking questions about life and love, but recently I started talking about them in real life as well, and for some reason it helps me much more understand the situation in the right context.
An exercise in positivity
I have been posting in the "Healing after breakup" forum, but I am ready to try and work on me. I have had a lot of difficulty "Seeing the sunshine" lately, and am working hard to try and do so. An exercise that was recommended to me was to post 5 things I have going for me and that I am thankful for.
I did some personal growth exercises
Hey guys! I am taking baby steps in hopes of feeling better and boosting my self-esteem. I need to focus on myself and the things that matter most to me other than my relationship or my future with him. I threw out all of my Xanax and am trying to find things to live for other than my relationship.
are there exercises that help to increase your positive behavior?
What exactly are those exercises, if they do exist? It is more than just talking to people..I do that constantly at work and still whenever I go out to other social situations I make people feel uncomfortable around me because I'm not a very positive person.
learning self-control? ie one less cookie, go exercise, enough with the video games
Hi everyone! I had a really long post (yes, even longer than this one!) written out, but deleted it in favor of a more straight-to-the-point one: I have next to no self control (*,). I cant stop eating chips (or whatever) ("just one more") and cant get myself to exercise regularly, so im out of shape, so i get low self esteem, etc.
