10 Things that Make me feel Strong

I'm still a little messed up - but I do have a list of things that make me feel strong. If I do at least one of these things - no matter how much I don't wanna - I feel a little stronger. I may not feel happier - but I feel stonger.

1. Get up on time

2. Get to work on time

3. Go to the gym

4. Go for a walk out side

5. Talk to a friend about nothing

6. Paint

7. Make some music

8. Eat something healthy - like an apple - for some reason that really makes me feel nice

9. Go the day without a smoke

10. Go the day without a drink

Maybe this can help. . . Maybe you guys can list some of the stuff that make you feel stronger too.

Thanks for letting me share and thanks for welcoming me here.

every five minutes.
