Step 120. These steps are still too close together. I finally have access to group chats, and I am finding that checking in with those is a nice way to feel connected at the start of what is for me (as someone who works from home) a solitary working day.

It's always nice to feel part of a community. 😊
I've learnt not to expect perfection over the past few days.
People who care about me are happy with who I am, not who I push myself too hard to be.
Hello!
I just made it to step 50! I've learned how to be more compassionate with myself so far.
@Domae
That's amazing and so important! Great job!
I learned that it's okay to not be the best. It's okay to fall short of your goals sometimes. It's okay if you have down days.
I just need to accept that there are times when I stumble, but that doesn't make me any less of a person.
@ElisaBee
Very much so. Well done for getting back up.
Nobody can save me.

to love myself and not be overly critical. treating myself with kindness matters.
Today my therapist and I decided that I've grown enough that we no longer need to work together. She worked with me over the past year as I grieved over a hard breakup from a toxic relationship. We worked on personal boundary tools that help me understand what I need, effectively express those needs, and be okay with being assertive about those needs. We worked on my grieving over the relationship - the guilt I felt about being in the relationship and leaving it. Many times things were not comfortable during therapy. I had to do some hard self-reflection; I had to work on tools that pushed my comfort levels. But, I tried to keep in mind, and my therapist constantly reminded me that uncomfortableness comes with growth.
It took over a year of hard, self reflective work. But today I feel so much better than I have in such a long, long time :). I am so grateful for where I am at.

I've just reached step 100 on my growth path and am feeling in a much better place for it.
I've got a stronger sense of self, I know I am capable and most of all I am more able to share how I feel with family.
I don't remember what I learned. It's all a little repetitive now. Maybe it was something about not overdoing it or stressing myself out for no reason.
This week, I managed to work up the courage to see the school counsellor, because I didn't feel comfortable enough talking to my parents. It was really hard but I'm glad I did it, because they are now referring me to an external counsellor. They called my mum about it (with permission from me) and I'm so thankful that she said "I'm glad you talked to her about it". Little steps :)
I reached 120 on my growth path. Today was pretty long and I've been feeling really tired for inexplicable reasons but I've been productive this week and gotten a lot of "life things" done that I've been putting off. So..yay.
If I don't know what to do, sometimes it's best to do nothing and wait until emotions subside.
If I absolutely must make a choice, it's better to pick anything, rather than nothing and lose the chance to choose.
