I set
small goals for myself, things like getting the dishes done that day, or doing a load of laundry.
Exercise does help, even if it's just a walk around the block.
Get outside every day in the fresh air for a bit. I take frequent breaks from school work to let the dogs out, and I just sit on the back step and watch them.
Do little things to pamper yourself. When the weather's colder, I like to take bubble baths and I light a couple of candles to set on the tub.
I get my nails done professionally every two weeks. I keep my hair up with frequent trims, and I get it colored about every 6-8 weeks (this is all at the same salon). Tomorrow is my 'me' day for a trim, and nails. It costs me a whomping $10 for the trim, and $15 for the nails.
I like to go to our local park and feed the geese and ducks at the pond.
I called my sponsor this morning and talked to him. I find I do much better when I stay in touch regularly (he's a driver for Metro Xpress so he's out on the road for two weeks at a time).
I hope these help a little bit! :ghug3
