List of Brave Acts

This exercise was taken from the book "Things you think when you bite your nails", by Amalia Andrade.


The author proposes:


"Instead of focusing on what we do wrong, or the things we stop doing out of fear, the task is to write at least three brave acts we have done on the day."

What three brave acts have you done today? Would you write them in response to this post?

Hugs!!

It might sound funny, but I kissed my boyfriend. I have been living in the ilusion, that I won't ever have a bf, that I'm not worth of love after my two abusive relationships.

I struggled with bullying, social anxiety and depression in the past, so I think this si my brave act for today

@reddotonblack

LOL laugh

I had to Google Translate for your Brave Act # 3: it reads this way in Spanish: "3. Intenté mantenerme cuerdo y ay! No pude ... nunca puedo arreglar locos ..."

If my "insanity" does not affect me nor others... then why would I need to fix it? heart

Thanks so much for sharing your Brave Acts here!!! yesheartwink

What would prevent you from leaving a review about a listener after a chat with him/her? How do you think you may feel more comfortable about providing listeners feedback? https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/Feedback_37/Listenersfeedback_210710/

I really like this thread! Quick question for you TY before I forget lol: how do you get the lovely footer text in your comments here in forum? Text is light gray and you provide link. :D I checked my settings but I don't see the option to set up a footer for my comments?

The reason I really like this thread is because a week or so ago I started using a well journal, and using it daily. One of the questions is what went well today? And to list gratitudes as well. Prior to using the journal, I struggled with picking at my cuticles, and even though I still struggle with it, I've noticed I'm doing it less. I think thinking more positively - focusing on the good each day - has helped! :D
