Relearning to be happy

I started seeing a therapist a few weeks ago. I spent the first couple of sessions laying down my history. Thankfully I have good friends and family who I can talk things out with, so I asked the therapist how I can know I am making progress, what tools or habits I can include in my life that will help me and how to get the most out of my sessions.

Firstly, my goal in therapy is to get assistance dealing with grief. Secondly, I want to learn how to be happy again. I feel like I am out of my depth in most, if not all, aspects of my life – mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, as a mother, as a person. I asked Chad a little while back what makes him happy. What makes me happy? I’m not sure I know anymore. I want to figure out how to enjoy life again. At this point, if someone were to give me a “Get Out of Life Free” pass, I would welcome just being done.

Some things that made me happy this week were:

Seeing the sunshine: waking up to light skies was fantastic, even if it did mean I slept in too long.

Going outside: the boys and I went for a “run/walk” one morning. Having low expectations of how the time went beside just getting out and making it back before meltdowns made it enjoyable. They threw rocks on the frozen storage pond. We cut the route short when legs were getting tired. We stopped by a playground so they could get their pants wet going down icy slides.

Building Lego with Alden: I was helping Alden with his new Lego set one of the days and he said to me, “I love doing this with you Mom!” He has this genuine, enthusiastic way of saying “Thanks!” that always makes me smile.

Getting a backrub: Chad rubbed my shoulders one night, and then my friend Rachel tickled my back during Relief Society today. For some reason that just calms me and makes me feel super loved.

Accolades: Rachelle Hrncirik and I sang a simple arrangement of Keep the Commandments at church today. We may have spent 5 minutes total talking about it and running through part of it once. It turned out so pretty. People were generous with their compliments and it feels good to do something “right” or inspiring.

I have been browsing online more than three
hours today, yet I never found any interesting article
like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

I apologize for off-topic, I am considering about making an interesting site for young students. May probably commence with publishing interesting information like”The average shelf-life of a latex condom is about two years.”Please let me know if you know where I can find some related info like right here

I wanted to send you this bit of note to help say thank you over again for these striking secrets you’ve contributed on this website. It is so particularly open-handed with you to give publicly precisely what a few individuals would have advertised for an e book in making some bucks on their own, principally given that you could possibly have tried it if you considered necessary. The concepts in addition acted as a good way to fully grasp someone else have a similar passion just like my own to understand great deal more with regard to this issue. I am sure there are thousands of more enjoyable occasions up front for individuals that examine your blog.

Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.

When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that,
awesome blog!
