Free Printing*
A couple of years ago, I purchased some DBT flash cards, as I felt I needed something physical to flick through when in moments of distress. This was a digital purchase though, and I needed some way to get this .PDF file into the real world. So in this short post, I’ll go into the process of printing these out essentially for free*, and might be something you could consider too.
Mood Tracking
While I can easily identify “big” emotions, like sadness, anger, anxiety and happiness, I do struggle a bit with naming more precise emotions, particularly when I feel uneasy and don’t know why. It unsettles me as I feel less in control of my emotions and they overcome me. In this short post, I’ll go into some of the mood tracking methods I’ve tried over the years to help me better try to label an emotion.
ThreeGoodThings
When I first joined Mastodon, I came across a hashtag which seemed nice and a fun little activity to join in on every day: #ThreeGoodThings
The concept is simple, just list three good things that happened in that day. On positive days, this can be easy, listing things like going on trips, eating tasty food or meeting great people. On more mundane days, things like seeing a nice sunset, wearing a favourite sweater or just getting out of bed and moving around more can be found.
Orders
Even though it was created as a joke, I liked the idea of creating a page listing a food order, so I’ve made this to list all my favourite ones. Although I don’t actually make food orders, this is what I would have based on restaurants nearby, made as a “fakeaway” at home for special occasions to share with others and eat over a couple of days.
AdGuard Home
I spoke about how I didn’t see adverts in Meow Tower due to my installation of AdGuard Home in yesterday’s post. Today, I’ll briefly go into what more AdGuard Home can do, why I chose it over Pi-Hole, and downsides I’ve experienced.
