I had a good day. I had fun with my Aiden. We made Christmas crafts for hours. I made a good dinner that all members of the family ate without complaining. These are the things that make me look back at my day and feel contented. I still deal with the anxiety beneath the hum of the day but I feel like I accomplished something....because I did.
I think that activities like this are the best way to say no to anxiety, fear, depression, etc. Obviously overdoing it can stress you out and cause more of the above, but if you can find things that give you pleasure - like making a good meal or working on crafts - keep doing them. For me, reading, writing and cooking are great contentment-bringers.
