Depressed WAW, digging in, learning about myself

[Card29]

meh, I've been hanging out with a friends a lot lately. I tend to be a homebody big time so going out is a good change. I've been reading A LOT. Today I gardened, which is strange for me, I'm no gardener. I've been tidying and cleaning and decluttering a lot, too. Is that GAL? I don't know but I feel refreshed after doing it.

I think as long as it helps you get to a better place mentally, without having to resort to substances, meds or alcohol, that is the point of GAL to me. Prove to yourself that you don't NEED the WAS to be happy and you will be:

- Happier in general
- In a great place to work on yourself now
- Prepared to piece things back together in a healthy way if it comes to that
- More ready to move on if it comes to that
- More attractive to the WAS in the meantime as you aren't as needy

So if something you're doing is accomplishing any of those, it's something you should keep doing!
