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 a large amount of pain and really did push myself probably a little too hard today, but I feel like I don't have a choice. I can't handle mess and even though I am not the one making the mess, I seem to be the one that is cleaning up after everyone else. I am tired and just want to look after myself and not anyone else. I wish someone would look after me, like I do others!! So I am currently sitting here typing this with a heat pack. I have to go and feed my dog soon and I don't even have the energy to do that tonight. But I would never let my baby go hungry, so she shall be fed. Lol

I think I shall stay in my room tonight and watch some TV and try and reset, and ease some of this pain. I don't even know what I shall watch, I will almost guarantee that it will be something true crime though. 

I do like the idea of a two word check in. I think I might try and do it more often, so that I am reflecting on my moods during the whole day. Being a borderline, I struggle with my moods and tend to be happy one hour and completely depressed the next hour. It truly does suck to be a borderline a lot of the time. 

How was your day? Was it productive? What did you do? Were you motivated or busy?

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

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...
