I agree with lillamy ~ some days I do my gratitude list and my PINKful happiness returns and then somedays I acknowledge the gratitude, but that "ick" is still with me.
Maybe it's a signal from my physical body saying "hey I need some attention!!"
Am I hungry, angry, lonely, tired? HALT
Do I need a meeting?
Do I need to read some recovery literature?
or
Do I need to rest in the promise "This too shall pass"
Today, I can allow myself to feel an emotion without it taking up permanent residency in my life. . .
an hour from now, a nap later, or maybe even tomorrow I can start anew
knowing I have validated my feelings (even though no one else may)
I have given myself good care
and I am ready to return to living Happy, Joyous and Free
One Day at a Time.
PINK HUGS & wishes for the very best for you
