Using your five senses is a great way to practice being Mindful. I thought this infographic spelled out the steps in a clear and applicable way.

I hope this helps someone out there...
This has helped me, so I’m sharing in the hope it may help someone else...
I’ve been watching YouTube videos by Marsha Linehan who developed DBT. The way she talks about BPD makes me feel understood and hopeful for the future.
There is a YouTube channel called BorderlineNotes, and they have a playlist of 27 short videos which I recommend.
A quote of hers from another video on the Family Action Network channel that opened my mind was “if you mix black and white what happens? Almost everyone will tell you you get grey... but in DBT you get plaid (tartan)” this made me see that my black and white thinking needs to bring together, integrate and accept both sides of the equation rather than suppress or compromise.
I’m going to talk to my therapist about the DBT skills Marsha talks about and how I can learn them. I hope this helps even one person out there, we all need hope ❤️

Proud of myself
Last night was a family event. Since I live with my in-laws, it was at the house where I live. I was very anxious because the “family” doesn’t treat me with much love or respect. But they don’t understand my illness and most likely, don’t believe me.
But last night I sustained. I stayed in the group for dinner and then after dinner I went into my bedroom to knit and watch Inside-Out. Then they were still playing cards so I came back out and had some dessert and I actually needed up covering someone’s hand of cards who had to leave.
....and I SURVIVED!!
There’s a lot to be said for Distress Tolerance and the joys of Xanax. 😏
