YAY P!!! No gambling for you — I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! I was so worried that my stupidity got you in gear and off you went. It doesn’t matter that you drove there — it matters that you drove away. Good girl!!! One day at a time. It’s all we can do. I AM back P — with a vengeance — right here beside you. I grabbed on to your hand and I will not let go until you pry me off with a sharp object (kinda like a leach !)
When you have those sad/worried/anxious moments P, try to stop for a minute. Sit down and acknowledge that you’re feeling bad. Scan your body and notice where the tension is, how your stomach feels, if your jaw is clenched and just let go. And then start to make a mental list of all that is good in your life — you’ll be shocked at how lucky you are.
I did this when I woke up today, because I was heading for a sorry-for-me kinda funk. I got into the shower and just let myself feel ******. Then I did my list, said a little prayer and concentrated on enjoying my shower. I know my day would have been a wreck if I had not taken those small actions.
I’m heading out now to take my dog for a walk on the beach for 30 minutes. That’s my workout for today. Didn’t hit the gym but will definitely tomorrow. Kids and husband off to gym then cheap Tuesday movies to see the Lone Ranger — not my scene today.
Keep moving forward as you are P. You are rocking this thing.
