I started this journey with a belief that nothing really mattered. No one witnessed my life so therefore nothing I did, or did not do, mattered. I just wanted a peaceful easy life, I just wanted to relax from all my years of filling the demands of others but never having my needs met (recently retired). And yes, I'd say I was depressed. All the things that I felt I 'should' be doing just kept building up and weighing me down. Now, after this program (cohort 1) I have found what I do or don't do MATTERS TO ME! I have the power to give myself a feeling of satisfaction and pride. Projects that felt impossible are now met with anticipation and hope. I now find caring for my home and yard, brings me joy rather than dread. The validation is internal, even though I still wish for external validation, the internal feelings are now so positive, and my outlook is so different. Do I have days that are not productive =yes. Do I revert back to old habits =yes. But do I comeback in full force - HELL YESS! Keep going, it only gets better!
