Reaching Out

What do you do when you're sad?

I bet "be nice to other people" isn't on your list. Calling a friend to ask for attention might be, but it's not the same.
My therapist recommended that if I ever get the urge and I have no one to turn to, I should send out nice messages or do something altruistic before I act on any urges. 
You send out a message like "hey, pretty eyes" without expecting a response. And for some reason, doing that makes you happier, because you know someone else will be happier when they receive it. 
When I've done a big gesture, I felt such a surge of love that it made me feel at peace with myself. 

Try it! And let me know what you think. 

Goals of the Week 64

My goals last week were:

1. plan all my meals

2. write down everything I eat on this blog. 

I did those for 4 out of 7 days, and it helped. I was binging and purging through Friday, but the weekend was better. This week my goal will be to plan all my meals again, and to plan out the food groups. I'm still slightly in my funk, and I need to get out of it. 

And my non b/p goal was:

To make daily goals. 

Again, I did this 4/7 days. It helped. My goal for this week is to make daily goals, and to send a nice message to someone whenever I feel down. More on that later.
