Part of my therapy, from something I read in The Mindful way through Depression is to make note of things that make me feel good. Because I have a tendency to dwell on the bad things! and I want to give the good things equal or better attention.
So today, it was a so-so day, I was cooped up in my office doing some intense paperwork and didn’t have much to do with other people. But a couple of nice things happened. One of the managers dropped in with a work question and then we got talking about a particular personality trait that he said I share with his wife, it is a particularly endearing quality to him that his wife accepts things at face value without playing guessing games. It was a nice bit of sharing and made me feel good about myself.
Second good thing today was on the way home my phone rang and it was my psych Carrie calling to see how I was, since we had to cancel our appointment for various reasons in the past couple of weeks. I was really touched that she made that effort to see how I was.
