Monday:
· Go for a walk
· Write in your diary
Today we would like you to write
a letter never to be sent, to whom ever you choose.
The point here is to say what you want to say without
actually saying it, this gives you the opportunity to
see whats hidden in the dark corners of your mind, and
it makes extremely interesting reading, for your eyes
only.

Tuesday:
·
Go for a walk
· Get a bus Timetable
Getting
out for a daily walk has hopefully made realise, that
is actually quite nice in the great outdoors. Today we
want you to get a bus time table, and for tomorrow's task
think about going on a little outing, it doesn't have
to be very far or take very long. You could even take
the bus there, have a cuppa tea, then return on the next
available bus home.

Wednesday:
· Go for a walk
· Write in your diary
Today we want you to take a bus
ride and maybe buy yourself something nice to wear, maybe
check out the charity shops and buy something from yesteryear
to wear as a bit of fun. Then wrap it up and put it away
till Friday. Even if you have a car we still think its
a good idea to go on the bus. The point here is to extend
what we shall
call your "safe boundaries"
|
Thursday:
· Go for a walk
· Write in your diary
If you feel that the task set for
Wednesday is to much to soon and it brings about a high
level of anxiety (see links below) Also make an appointment
to see your doctor or local GP. Anxiety management courses
are available, also ask about "Propranolol"
which can be prescribed to reduce anxiety levels and stop
panic attacks. Then do Wednesdays task, but don't stop
taking part because we really can help you overcome this
anxiety.
Note; When you make the appointment mention that it's
urgent.

Friday:
· Go for a walk
· Write in your diary;
Put some music on, have a long hot
soak in the tub, give yourself a makeover and dress yourself
up, turn the music up and experience the feel good factor.
The point here is to remind you what the Friday night
feeling was like, maybe even get you into the, get out
and about and party mood. If you can make the arrangements,
why not call up a friend to come round or even go out
for a drink.
|
Saturday:
Plan
a weekend visit to the park with the kids, perhaps take
a picnic and ask your kids to invite a few friends, maybe
ask their friends parents to come along, and if its raining
why not have a tea party at home instead.
The point here is to try and meet as many friends as you
can.
