Rough Day Today
I was in a down mood today, all day. Not sure what triggered it. I used the app to plan set some goals, and worked at hitting them. I did in fact complete my goals, which helped a bit at the end of the day. I made the effort to get out and hike, which usually helps, and did a bit. My main symptom today was lots and lots of ruminations on everything that's not going well. Work, non-work activities, home life. It felt like all I did was ruminate on the negatives. Setting goals helped, particularly when I reached them. Also, getting active helped too. A hike in the foot hills in the morning and a stroll in the afternoon. I'm going to try one more thing after I publish this, which is take an inventory of things that are going well for work, non-work activities, and home. Let's see if I can remember to comment on how this inventory thing works tomorrow.
