Achieve emotional wellbeing by including at least one goal at a time contributing towards this

that 14 of my 43 goals currently contribute towards this one – in one way or another. That could be too many, but then this is the main focus of my life at the moment so I shall leave it as it is.

1. Start every day by writing down something positive e.g. progress made in an area of my life
2. Do 5 nice things a day
3. Remember to be grateful – go back to writing down each day what I’m grateful for
4. Take time to notice when I start struggling; take time out to work out what I’m thinking, then reframe it
5. Learn to re-energise myself and not let life drain me so much
6. Stand up for myself!
7. Be brave and be kind to myself

learn to stand up for myself. This was pointed out to me last week, and now seems so obvious. I’ve made the decision not to allow people to bully me any more, to respect myself and demand that respect from others. It may take a bit of getting used to the change, but it will be worth it if it removes a lot of the fear from my life.

or at least learn to keep them in perspective. I have a tendency to see bad days as proof that I knew life sucked this badly, and today proved me right, and tomorrow would be just as bad. No more! After each bad day I’m going to list all the positives, and all the reasons why tomorrow may well be a good day. And maybe have a glass of wine or two, as well.

I’ve decided that too many of my 43 things are taken up with managing emotions so I’m putting them all under this new goal. I’m hoping that this way, I can make my list more fun and more positive. So much of my life feels like battling against negativity, but I don’t want my list of resolutions to reflect that – I want it to counteract that.
So, the goals to be included under this are:

manage my stress
learn to live with and deal with anger
overcome anxiety
