So recently I have been paying a lot more attention to "not so subtle" patterns....hoping to grow into a more secure individual...and I noticed that whenever I feel "judged" by others (this is usually perceived judgement versus actual judgement) I want to reach out to B....I want reassurance that it will all be ok. As I am trying to learn to self sooth, I just notice and am curious about the things I do as B replacements...such as, an increased number of visits to this site, an increased number of visits to FB including B's page, a heightened number of abandonment stories (usually a story about B liking someone else)....right now I am simply observing and accepting these activities with no self judgement. What I plan to do in the future is to add in some positive memories from friends, family, my faith that I hope will help to create a more reliable self soothing process. It is my understanding that secures can hold a memory of being loved and that is what allows them to be confident in exploring and not taking things personally. Hoping this works well.

I find that routine and exercise, walking in a lovely park / green space and lots of fresh air does wonders for anxiety. I intend to increase more of this in my life. Also when I feel kind of lost I try to remember to increase self care. Do something nice for my appearance or something to improve my home / environment...even cleaning helps. Another thing that I discovered in shopping therapy. Thankfully I live in a country where returns are easy and no questions are asked, so I just make sure I keep the receipts and tags, keep the purchases intact for a few days in case I change my mind later on. But the sense of treating myself to something new and beautiful makes me feel good.
