Learning to enjoy each day

I have been able to slowly, but effectively, transform my life and start to learn how to be happy and enjoy each day. The key to my success was by letting my identity be free. . . I was a full time jehovahs witness and i had a nervous breakdown as the beliefs that i was being taught were not really helping me develop as an individual.  I am still am very much isolated, however i am making great strides to meet new people and make friends outside the faith.

I find it helpful to ask myself every morning 'what do you want to do today? what would make you happy today?' this really helps as i make every day special and it helps me be more diverse in my activities.  for instance, one day i may work on a website project that i am doing, and the next day i may go out for coffee with a friend. i can't stress to you enough how much this has helped me. . . i have a long way to go still with everything, however i am positive that i can continue to make changes in my life and enjoy the rest of my life instead of falling back on suicide or alcohol as a way out.
