Well I know this isn't much really but I feel so proud of myself I just had to share!
Today I don't know why but I woke up, saw the sun shining and thought, you know what I'm gonna go out today. This in itself is a big thing for me!
So anyway, I had a shower, got myself ready. Felt a little anxious but I was determined to go out in this wonderful weather!
So me and my flatmate went over to my mums house, which is about a 15 min drive. (for me thats a big thing) anyway I felt fine on the drive over there, a few little moments of panic but I just distracted myself by looking at peoples gardens and houses and looking in the trees and the view. Then just when we got to my mums road, BAM there was a traffic jam! Now just the thought of being stuck in a traffic jam makes me panic. Anyway it was only a little wait but eventually it cleared and we got to my mums in one piece!
Spent a little time at my mums and then I turned to my flatmate and said...now this will shock you cos it did me!
I said... "lets go to Asda's!!"
Now I absolutely fear and loathe supermarkets! especially at the weekends but I was in a good mood and I didn't want to just rush back home when it is such a lovely day! So we went to Asdas, I bought some new pillows and few bits. Didn't panic one bit
Then I said "lets go to pets at home" and we went there, was rather busy but I didnt panic, I just strolled around looking at things and looked at the giunea pigs and bunny rabbits! Bought a few new toys and chews for my dog.
Then we left and decided to come home, I felt quite proud of myself and on the drive home, I realised we need something for dinner so I suggested we drive into town and go to Sainsburys. So not only did I manage the 15min drive back I then suggested another 5min drive into town to go shopping in sainsburys!
Went there, didnt panic at all! i felt more like my old self and I was walking around with my head held high and a big cheesy grin on my face!
God knows what everyone thought but I didnt care because for once I felt GOOD!!
So thought I would share it all with you as I am walking about with a spring in my step feeling very proud of myself! And tomorrow I have another little challenge for myself!
It just goes to show we can have our good days!!!!
