Poem only I can make the change 

Every day a new day to make small changes to my life.

it’s down to me to start with the small things can give confidence that I can do things for myself 

This has given me a worth of strength and fantastic strength by knocking off the small goals off each day

There is a of things I still need to learn from my family members while they are still alive as I drive to one day be doing things independently without  needing anyone help so I don’t need to relile anyone for anything and live my life the way I want to whilst giving my family members I can metaphorically stand on my own feet as I breakdown my own mental barriers I have made myself no longer am I going let my mental barriers stop from proving to myself I can do anything I put my mind to and accomplish the things I have dreamt about and it’s time to bring my dreams to reality I know anything can be done with a positive mindset and attitude and remembering nothing is impossible start of long tough road ahead but I am the only person that can change my life in a positive way as I use my failures as I keep moving forward each day and develop the skill of being able to critically think and the ability to  question something before making a decision making and will come with time. I feel willing and want to bring change to my life it’s reinvented me to want change my life in a positive manner.

    What small change have you made today @Globster? 

    Today I put my SAD lamp on after resisting for a week, and it's made me feel less gloomy :) I should've done it earlier really. 

    Do you find stubbornness can sometimes be a mental barrier?

    @Alex_Scope
    I have started by putting my own clothes on after my shower every morning because I use to rely on my parents to do that but for a few days it took me to do it but I have become more quicker at doing that which has given me the confidence that I can do things for myself.
     I have made a list of things that I want to learn to do for myself so I can become more independent and do not have to rely on others to help me.
     I do agree that stubbornness and to comfortable the way things are but I am feeling so anxious because it feels like I’m going to be creating new habits and changing the way I think about things in life and I also have learning new skills and the ability to critically question something someone else says instead of trusting what they say.

    It sounds like you're really building on your own independence @Globster, that's great :) 

    It can be a bit of an anxious time when we're trying new things and thinking differently, sometimes things might not go to plan, but that's okay. Building up confidence will help with this, and that's something you're working on each day too!
