do one thing every day that terrifies me

I really didn’t do this lately… Kinda got put aside….

I did do a few things though lol

I took the neighbours’ dog for a walk today even though I was afraid he’d pull me too much & my back would hurt lots.. It didn’t that much, & the doggie was sorta ‘manageable – most of the time. (No one else dares to take him for a walk, cause he’s so unsocialized & silly he barks at bigger dogs lol he’s tiny.)
Been trying to teach him to walk slowly so both me & others would have greater pleasure walking him, so he might get walked more!! :)

Went couch/carpet-shopping with Mom & Dad although I was terrified of it… (That they would buy a terrible thing right away – well, that’s precisely why I went with them!!:) They’re not to be trusted! :) lol)
Luckily, they took my feedback in account, & we’re still looking!! :)
/must bring my own eatables next time!! got exhausted & resorted to store-bought edibles! & they are more expensive in a furniture store!! lol/
/am now considering making my own ‘chocolate bars’ & such lol!! :))

‘ate the frog’ & just text-messaged away to some friends I wasn’t sure how they’d take it or what would turn up 1st thing in the morning the other day (I’ve been putting it off for a while..) but all turned out great & I chuckled more than ever with the recent development of events! lol

Well, it seems I’ve been doing quite a bit of this! lol
YAY!! :)) Hope I manage to expand my ‘comfort zone’ even more!! :))) & do the things I really want to do & have fun along the way!! :)

I haven’t been doing any of this recently..

Okay, I DID do the back exercises yesterday, 2x!!
/Although I was scared something might be wrong with my back or that the exercises might be bad for my back..
& it hurt to lie on my back, somewhat…/

But it is the only way to get independent again, to get the core exercises strengthened!! So I should do more of it.. though today I just kept slackin’!!

I haven’t done anything really terrifying in a while – except the Xray last Thursday, & then look at them & googling things up yesterday ;)
Sis was plenty supportive again & allowed me plenty of time for ‘net therapy’ LOL ;)

And lifting a jar full of sauerkraut or a Tupperware dish full of carrots from the fridge was slightly scary, but I survived… Though I think my back didn’t like it very much.. ugh.. I think I will need to do the back exercises again although I’m not sure which ones to do, & it’s all very scary…

Today, going for a walk with Sis on the bumpy road was just mildly terrifying but intriguing & immensely enjoyable…
I was a bit scared of going walking ‘in the middle of the night’ (Okay, after 8pm, when it was pitch black..) – & that it would be boring to walk 2x a day – but so far it turned out just okay & interesting too… So hopefully all is well…

I did two things that terrified me today: went to do the blood test ;) LOL & went to see the doctor!!

I rewarded myself with ‘free afternoon’ for internet, & Sis was supportive of this!! ;))

So in 2 weeks I’ll go for back/neck Xray & that terrifies me too… But hopefully all will go well… I do try to live & eat healthy otherwise, so that should count too, no? & my back & neck really need to get fixed proper… (I’m thinking of maybe going to see a chiropractic once a diagnose is set, but I’m terrified of that too… ;))

More things to practice my resilience & courage on!! ;))

As Ronya says, no use trying to get brave where you have no fear!! ;)

I am still doing well with this one!!

(I’m not sure I do it every day, but with the (frrrreeezing!!)weather here, going for a walk daily was an accomplishment in itself!! The actual going went well, but I had to get my butt out there & do it, that was the hard part!!;))

I actually went to a band practice of the band that asked me for some songs… I had to make myself go into the cold November night… But YEAH so glad I did!!! They were AWESOME!! (still have to practice, but I really LOVE their music, kinda makes me happy!!) I was jazzed half the night afterwards, & inspired for a few new songs… ;)

& the composer-guy likes one of the lyrics I did! /hopefully he’ll like it when he’s sober too!! some beer was drunk there, at the practice/
The girl who told me how to act with composer-guys was sooo right!! You have to nag them!! Really!!
I would consider my behaviour at times impolite (for my shy ‘old’ self), but you just have to go at it & ask them & determine what is wanted & organize things, make ‘em prioritize (which song/s do they need first? etc), & correct grammar in their lyrics (& the singer’s lyrics!!), & check if this is what they want etc.

I also had to make myself cook lunch on one of the most freezing days ever (in a freezing kitchen), but so glad I did!! Granny was kinda happy about it too, & I washed the dishes another day, so I’m hoping we share the load somewhat, though I don’t want to make her too passive/lazy – kinda want her to remain independent too!! (but still keep a clean kitchen!)

Washing with cold water in a cold bathroom is still one of the things done ;)
& I showered in a cold bathroom too!! I am BRAVE!! LOL

& now that I think about it, I did wash my hair with colder water than normal too – so I am getting BRAVER & BRAVER!! LOL
(Do I see a resistance to cold coming up?;)

Also, I have been healthy all the time!! YEAH!!

I did things that ranged from washing with VERY cold water in a VERY cold bathroom (!) – WORTH DOING!!

To going to a concert by a friend that I wondered whether to go to or not… & meeting a composer friend after long months… & trying to write songs from music up, even if I’d never done it before & it usually goes the other way round for me & going for walks in absolutely ghastly weather… /Ahh, it’ll be my ‘terrifying thing of the day’ she shrugs her shoulders, & walks off… ;) big grin/

WORTH DOING!!!
