Hi Bees!
So, I started the Counting Victories Challenge about a two weeks ago after a conversation with my therapist. I have a hard time bouncing back from minor stressors, and I usually feel like I'm not enough - doing enough, good enough, etc. Her recommendation was to actually write down the accomplishments in my life for a while so I can see my progress and gain some resilience. Sounded like the CV Challenge to me.
I'm having a tough time, though. Not in finding victories, but in feeling, well, victorious about them. Mostly I just feel guilty - that I put something off for so long, that I thought something so simple was such a big deal, that I don't do anything to really call a 'victory' (I'm boring). Looking back at my list doesn't inspire any pride or confidence - mostly just annoyance and guilt.
Has anyone else experienced this? Were you able to start feeling good about your victories later on? Part of me wants to throw in the towel and look for another technique to help my resilience, but maybe I'm just being impatient.
I appreciate any thoughts or experiences you'd like to share! Have a great day, Bees!
