sounds like you are doing really well today @Flying_Hams , good work on pacing yourself, that is a great headspace to be in. The valuable steps you're taking today will all payoff in time to your overall goals.
I totally relate to the concept of doing something in the morning to get a sense of accomplishment. I finally managed to do my HI 10 minute workout today and although I don't seem to get the endorphines hit that I've heard about, I get a real sense of achievement after I've done it and mark it on my wall calendar. The lady in the youtube vid says "even a small bit of exercise is way, way better than no exercise" so I like that encouragement. It is great that gymwork makes you feel better, that's a big strength. It's also good that you can get up in the morning & get going - I need 2 coffees to do that! And as one of my fav self-help people says, everyone has a physical body, despite whatever mental state, that needs to be taken care of. Daniel Mackler.
Thanks for your comments about my brother, I appreicate it. I really hope he can turn things around as an outpatient and get some support services in place to start creating a social support network as he was uber isolated before being commited. Yeah family is family. I've only been able to enjoy family since being on my current meds, especially anti-psychotics which makes it easier to be around people.
I'm just doing some cooking now, a big healthy stirfry with lots of veg. I've marinaded the tofu so it should be good. Do you like cooking?
