Track The Joy - Kmart Journal Entry

What activities bring you joy? Which people bring you joy? What is hands down the most fun you've ever had? What's the most spontaneous thing you have ever done?

I find that a lot of different activities bring me joy. The things that I enjoy most would be disassociating (I can't help that, I'm Borderline.. HA-HA! And who doesn't enjoy a good daydream?! HA-HA!). I like to read, but I find that because of my mental health issues, I really do struggle to sit down and read a book for any longer than about 5-10 minutes. I used to be able to read a lot better also when I didn't have a mobile phone. So I do think that technology has played a major part in that. It seems that I read a couple of pages and then my phone goes off with a notification and so then I look at my phone. I think that I need to start silencing my phone a bit more often and just checking it say every half an hour to an hour. What would you do if you were me? I love to do colour in, but I find that by the time I actually get set up and get started, it is almost time to pack it all up again. Plus I am studying at the moment, so I find that when I do notice my attention span is good, I try to spend the time studying. I have actually been trying to do the Podomoro technique. I have been finding that most of the time I get to about 20 minutes and I need a break. But I am sure that if I keep trying, I'll be able to do the 30 minutes soon enough. 

In regards to the people that bring me joy, I would say that my family first and foremost bring me the most joy. For an example, my Grandmother called me yesterday from 1300kms away just to say hello, because she had been dusting her photos and she looked at one of my photos and was wondering how I was. My Nanna is one of the most gorgeous lady's to every exist! My daughter also brings me a lot of joy. Especially when she makes me laugh. She is extremely pretty and then has this great personality and sense of humour to go with the looks. She truly is the package deal my kid! And my parents also bring me joy. They try and do many different things with myself and my brother, because they like to see us happy.

The most fun I have hands down ever had would have to be when my parents took my brother and I to the USA when I was almost 12 years old. We went on a tour bus and we got to see all the tourist attractions on the west coast of the USA. I think my most favourite part was when we went to the 4 corners and I was jumping between the states. My parents laughed and laughed at me, and then joined in. :)

The most spontaneous thing I have done is probably something I have done a couple of times now, but it makes me smile and the people around me smile and laugh too. Apart from my Nanna (she got embarrassed HA-HA!) I like to plank a trolley while it is going down an aisle in the supermarkets. I literally can get my body flat on the trolley and down the aisle I go. HA-HA! My housemate got a photo of me doing it about 2 weeks ago and I was pretty flat, very impressed with my skills. HA-HA!

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Chris Watts Case

I think that the reason so many people are drawn to this case may simply be because of how tragic the story actually is. How can a man take out his family like that? And to not show remorse. I do believe that there was something major going on, I just think that we will never know what truly happened. I honestly don't think that Chris will ever be fully honest about what happened that night. I do feel like he is protecting someone or something else, but no clue as to what. I feel so much for Shanann's family, I can't imagine the heartache they have to bear each day. Having had a brother that went to prison, I can understand why his family do contact him still and why. He will also be their son and brother/uncle and as a mother, our love is unconditional. He may have wiped out his entire family, but he will always be their loved one too. I think this case will have unanswered questions and there will always be these conspiracy theories regarding it. I literally have tried to...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
