I have been going to therapy for a month now and during time I sat and listened with great excitement. I must she has told me a lot and how to stop over thinking. One of the things i was told is to do was write down my goal and dreams on a board what i wanted and needed to accomplish. Rather it was dating or whatever. So, I did exactly that. I went out to the store (Dollar Tree) and got me 2 white poster boards and started writing all the goals i want to accomplish no matter how small or big it and yes some of them are not realistic, but hey a boy can dream right.
One of things were (as instructed by my therapists), was to go out and speak to 3 different people, rather it was in the grocery store or laundry or even when i am jogging. I did that and it felt great and I felt like my confidence went up a bit. This was to help me build confidence. I wrote down so many HOW TO GAIN CONFIDENCE TIPS on my Visual Board.
So, feeling good about myself. I decided to take it a step further and update my profile of Plenty of Fish and searched profiles of local guys and i asked him out. He said yes, and we had 3 dates that spanned 3 weeks, but it ended, but that's ok. Now in the past i would have said screw it, I am done. Not this time, so i did the same thing a few days later, but got rejected..cool, so i am still looking.
I think these visual boards has really helped me figure things out along with my therapists and I had it in me all along, but i just needed a good swift kick in my ass. I have been boosting my confidence and I am using some many of these visual boards my apartment wall are half covered with them.
Do any of you use Visual Boards?
Did it help you or do you say i don't need a board to know what i like.
