Thought of the Week "You gain strength,courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt
Are you avoiding things that scare you but that are really safe? Think about exposing yourself to those experiences to overcome your fear, experience mastery and open up your life.
Skills: DBT Opposite Action, Avoid Avoiding, Exposure Therapy |

Don't Compare Yourself to Others. Instead, focus on where you've been, where you are now and where you want to be.

If you are new to DBT or interested in finding out what it is, I recommend the youtube by Dr. Esme Shaller called "What the heck is DBT." A fun and easy way to get an overview of DBT. |

Are you looking for a way to augment your DBT skills and really work on being effective in your life? I highly recommend that you google Daily Shoring and sign up for their daily emails. Great hints and filled with information and links with useful lessons. I save the ones I receive so that if I don't have time to do them each day, I can go back, review and continue when I have more time.
And, if you haven't read it yet, I also recommend The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. You can get a great preview of his work on you tube or Ted talks. Have fun using all these powerful tools to become more effective and have the life you want to live.

December Activity
This week, when you feel like doing anything
that you know is not healthy for you, pause and take 5 deep slow
breaths….slowly and deeply inhale until your lungs feel full…and then slowly
and deeply exhale until your lungs feel empty. Pause slightly at the top of
each inhale and the bottom of each exhale. This slows the frantic December pace
and allows you time to think before you act. Now make your choice.
Pausing for just a moment of healthy breathing gives
you time to think before acting on impulse. Remember, you can use your DBT
Observe skill to just observe the impulse to act rather than acting on the
urge. You can use Wise Mind to do what is effective. If you have no unhealthy
urges, it is still a great idea to do the breathing exercise several times each
day to give yourself a moment of relaxation.
