Hi ArtFriend,
I was also well-practised at abusing myself.
I did many little things:
- I bought a coffee grinder and started the day making coffee which smelled amazing, and eating whole-wheat toast with honey. It was a great way to start the day by doing something special.
- I took time after supper, every day, to go for a long walk. This was amazing in so many ways and one unexpected way was that my husband often went with me, and it was time for us to really connect and talk.
- Maybe the most important thing I did was to say 'No' whenever I felt like it. I no longer allowed myself to do things I wasn't enthused about or to see or talk to people that I didn't really care for.
