Sounds good and I would like to but I would fail. I don't have the skills and haven't been able to go a day in my life doing it. Something to aim for.

Wow. Good idea. I know I would have to pick a certain kind of day. Probably a day when I'm *supposed* to be having fun.

Eating the food I love (ice cream) - better that I try for food that's good for me.

Obsessing over T? Well... I see her today, so I'll have to see how that goes.

I'll aim for loving on my dogs and reading a book. (sometimes a hard thing to do, due to concentration)

Past and future - that's super hard. I think a lot about the future. Kind of a prelude to the end of life and wondering/worrying what that will be like. Past? Aie! Seems like the past is in my present every day.

I can say F^*k Off.

Will be interested to hear how your day goes.

-RT

Yeah, we're all trying! So far I mananaged about two hours, then a lot of worrying and thinking and now I'm gonna try again!

See, there's a start! And a little icecream won't hurt. Honest!

Hi Draggers, the first bit gets lost in translation (I'mm Dutch and don't know what large moments of flagging means), but the chocolate part I understand!!

This is a goal for every weekend... My Ts both help me make plans to distract. One of my skills though is to call my T. I don't obsess too much because our relationship/connection is fine... But I'll see what I can do about the eating. I suck at that.

Hi Elsewhere, I read your thread and agreed it would be a great idea and it worked, it felt great, the iffy bits for me is at bedtime but instead of saying F^*k Off to the invasive thoughts I did a STOP, DROP (shoulders) & BREATHE exercise and it worked (see attached), not that it does all the time, it takes some getting used to. This morning has gone and I have managed to stay with it… on saying that, what I am doing looking at this site!! Anyway, thank you and good luck to those giving it a go.

Thanks everyone, for joining me in this experiment. For me it worked out... a little But there were good moments, especially when I came back here to read your replies. Maybe we can make this into a recurring thing? One of us, the one that has the most courage at the time, reminds us that it's okay to give ourselves a little break, a short vacation from ourselves?
love

I am trying this today because I am really exhausted and and too tired to worry or obsess. I guess that's kind of cheating but so far I have been successful. Maybe I will learn something.
