photodiary

I am so thankful for you all and this group.
You help me stay motivated to take pictures for my #photodiary
It's so important for me to do this.
But I do struggle with motivation due to anhedonia and several other things...
So I am so thankful for the motivation you add to my life.
One of my values for 2025 is FOCUS.
And one of the things, I really want to focus on is my gratitude and glimmers.
So thank you for the opportunity and help.

I am battling burnout, depression and anxiety.
And I have been for a while now.
I am very thankful for being in therapy and having that support.
But I can see that I take less pictures for my #photodiary
So I was very grateful to see that I had enough to make my weekly layout.
It reminds me that there is good in my life - and I am so appreciative for that reminder!

It's Thursday and that means Glimmer time!
Its second Christmas day here in Denmark.
And I am thankful I've had glimmers during this Christmas.
It's also really hard work for me to celebrate Christmas with all the stimuli, socializing and to do's.
But I've used my #photodiary to capture the good moments and memories that were entangled with all the hard work.
There is such a short time span between the now and experiences becoming memories.
Sometimes that's good, other times we would like a moment to last longer.
Then it's lucky we have our photos.
Do you what to take a moment and reflect on a glimmer from your week?
It can be anything you felt as a glimmer.
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to spread glimmers and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.

Christmas #photodiary
I hope you've had a peaceful Christmas eve.
However it turned out to look.
For me, December goes so quickly.
And I really try to capture those good moments with my camera.
Thank you for letting me share with you all.
And for valuable help with the focus on gratitude and glimmers!

I was positively surprised to see, I had more pictures to choose from this week.
It's comforting to see my good moments.
I may not be able to feel them completely or fully due to emotional numbness and anhedonia.
But at least I can see that they were there.
And that means a lot to me.

Just got a 2024 stat from Google Photos.
And the longest streak I had of taking pictures each day, was 61 days.
I think that goes to show how much I use my #photodiary
And I do so because it helps me SO much to look back on the good moments, I've captured and saved.
It reminds me that there is good in my life.
That I have so much to be grateful for.
That there's hope.
And I need these reminders so I am thankful for them.

Like I've said, I am going through a dark and hard time right now.
And I was being harsh and unkind to myself.
But a dear friend reminded me of all the things I actually accomplish during a day.
First and foremost; I manage to get out of bed!
That is NOT a small accomplishment when you're struggling.
I get the kids ready for school, make their lunches, and walk the youngest to school.
I do the grocery shopping and Christmas gift shopping on top of that.
I cook, clean, do laundry, tidy up, and I've decorated for Christmas.
I also take long naps.
I am active here on The Mighty.
I do my #photodiary and hold on to gratitude, glimmers, and hygge because it does me good.
I want to say "I did good" to myself a lot more than I actually do.
I don't want to criticize, judge, and diminish myself on top of struggling with my mental health.
I'll practice this slowly.
Reminding myself to show myself grace.

I use my #photodiary so much when I am depressed and not feeling well.
It's so important for me to cling to those good moments.
But it's hard since I don't really feel joy.
This is something I've recently discovered in therapy; that I have very diminished access to feeling joy.
And me and my therapist are working on that.
But something I can feel a little glimpse of is "hygge".
It's like cozy moments do actually register to some degree.
Just not ad deeply as I'd wished for...
But maybe this will change with time and healing.

I really appreciate when you share your gratitude, glimmers, and #photodiary in our group.
Thank you.
It lifts my spirits and inspires me to see others glimmers and gratitude.
And it helps me to focus on what's good in my life.
Battling #anhedonia is rough...
And it's such a heavy and burdensome symptom.
One that can suck all the joy and life out of you frightfully easy.
So I am really thankful for the help and inspiration I get from you all.

Hi, how are you? I hope everyone is well and feeling good.

I am somewhere between sick and healthy😃but Alhamdulillah (thanks God)

This week I ended a very long friendship. She was a very close friend. She was someone who knew all my sorrows and hurt me with my pain. She lacks empathy. I am happy to end my friendship with her. I chose myself. It is good to be away from everyone who exhausts me.💪🥲

Finally, the quilt I mentioned is completely finished. What really makes you happy is when your art is appreciated and supported. Sometimes I put things on my mind into a quilt.🙃

The way my cat sat was so funny and I wanted to share it😺
Also the food I make. Cooking is something that nourishes me not only in my stomach but also in my soul.🥘🥪

I am interested in aromatherapy. Sometimes I burn incense in my room at home. Or I add essential oil to a room humidifier (aroma diffuser). I usually drop lavender oil at night before going to bed. This helps me fall asleep easier. Try...

I shared with you the path I took for a walk. I am grateful to be close to a place where you are surrounded by nature and to be alone with the greenery.

and sometimes I say "hi, how are you honey" to the animals I see on the road 😻 Does this seem crazy? I talk to them

Did this make you smile? I hope you smiled and enjoyed reading my article.

#photodiary has been a great activity for me. It's fun to share.

It is there for everyone who wants to see glimmers.If the sun doesn't come in, it's not the sun's fault. Maybe you closed the curtains.
