Lovely idea @AuntGlow @rav3n .
I guess I can "thank" (??) myself for being willing to "give things a chance" and engaging extra support services this year to help myself cope (despite the cost).
I can release... 🤔
I will be continually trying to remember ("release") to not feel guilty or ashamed about taking time off to try to recover and find a palatable life.

@AlwaysMyself such a great response, you absolutely deserve guilt-free time to recover!! 💙

I would like to thank myself for keeping My Kidney disease stage 4 and other physical health (diabetes, osteoporosis, and other problems) this year Stable
even when it was very hard and overwhelming at times when every day is different
As for what I will release.?
I think I will try and release the feeling of worrying and being anxious every time when I get my regular blood tests results and testing my blood sugar 4 times a day every day
and to remind myself that I am ok and safe and that I am capable for the year to come in any situation (either stable or on dialysis)

@AuntGlow I don't think I can thank myself for anything this year except perhaps persisting. Arguably a less than admirable trait.
I don't know what to release other than attachments. I'm not Buddhist but perhaps that's a way forward with less pain.

Proud of you for following through, I know how much courage and discipline that takes. @Oaktree 🫶
Reminding myself "that I am ok and safe and that I am capable" is such a beautiful intention to take into the new year.

You can absolutely thank yourself for showing up to support services - that's huge!! @AlwaysMyself
I really like this intention for you, self-compassion is such an important part of recovery. I will be here to remind you of this. 🫶

Persisting is an incredibly admirable trait. I am always so inspired by you and how much you keep showing up for yourself, even when it's hard. @Dimity
Forming attachments is a very normal part of being human, but we can certainly benefit from practicing healthy detachment if we are becoming overwhelmed or consumed by an outcome. What attachments would you like to release? 💛

Keeping your health conditions stable is such an amazing feat @Shaz51. It shows how hard you have been working to prioritise your wellbeing, even when things have been challenging. You definitely deserve to release some pressure here, you are doing all that you can and you should be really proud!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 🥰
