8 Day DBT Challenge to Feel Better

The mind is quite amazing. I often hear people talk about how they felt so anxious that it made their stomach upset or so stressed that they ended up with a headache. I’ve experienced these sorts of things myself. The mind is THAT powerful.

This will be a fun post. It’s an 8 Day DBT Challenge to go out and capture a photo of something that is connected with a DBT skill. If you don’t have a camera, you can always sketch it or just jot down what you saw in a few words.
