Creating A CBT Notebook and Lunch With Grandparents

I woke up around eight and was awake enough to get dressed straight away. I then was in the mood to do something contrastive and I started to write my first draft of a blog post for the past few days. This took me around two hours in the end as I had done quite a lot and wanted to explain all. I then began to make an Anxiety book from a spare note pad I have acquired. I have sheets from CBT etc. that I stuck into it and will be using it to keep a record of everything I have learnt during the sessions as well as other things that I have picked up elsewhere.

Then I went to my grandparents’ house with my mum for lunch, I really like going to their house as it’s warm, cosy and relaxing. I also don’t need to do very much to please my grandparents, by eating their food I feel like I am doing them a favour. Then in the afternoon my mum and nan went off for a few hours shopping while me and my granddad went for a walk around town with my Aunties dog for a few hours, this was really nice as I was able to get out in the fresh air, do some exercise and please my granddad. We got back to their house and I watched TV for an hour before my mum come to take me home, I was ready to fall asleep and didn’t want to go out in to the stormy weather. Once home I ate my dinner and then when I thought everyone had gone out went upstairs to sing a cheeky bit of opera for a couple of hours. I haven’t sung in years and it’s something I would like to get back into again, it’s just relearning the breathing techniques as I run out of breath quickly, maybe my sister will teach me. I had small rumbled of anxiety today, but nothing really stood out which is good as it must mean my anxiety levels are reducing slowly.
