Things you need to work on and how you are going to
Teke started a great thread on what you like about yourself. Well, this is about 180 degrees from that and is about what you need to work on so you better like yourself and how you are going to do this.
When I get hurt I tend to react. I have improved my response time to this (letting it go for awhile), but I need to do better. Next time someone or something makes me angry I am going to STOP. I am going to take a DEEP breath and sit down and wirite until my hand falls off before I do anything, so IF I do something it is good for me and not out of revenge or feelings.
I do not handle anger well. I think I need to handle it like I am planning to handle hurt and pain. I think anger comes from the same place as hurt and pain.
Letting people get in my head and not getting them out or letting things go. I am going to make a conscious effort to push those thoughts that become circular out of my head and hand them to my HP. I think I can do this one with prayer and meditation and then if that does not work, get working on a thought consuming project.
Physical pain and health issues. I take care of these things but I can do more. I need to do more working out to strengthen muscles that support joints that are just plain worn out. I am going to take time every other day just before I make my dinner to go thru the whole work out routine. In between days I am going to take time to walk either outside or on the treadmill. I usually do this but I must do it ALL the time.
I have come a ways in 5 months but I need to do more. I need to make and effoert every day.. if it thru reading books like "The Language of Letting go" or AlAnon literature or something from my church.
Sometimes it is easy to walk on the recovery path and sometimes it takes a lot of discipline to make yourself walk it. I know when I get off this path, or even reject this path, my life goes wrong.
How 'bout y'all?
