Update: I worked on Step 11 through Lent and my focus on Step 11 winds up on Easter Sunday. I will be winding up the three week free meditation series next week. It has been a very good series. Deepak Chopra had SMART as an acronym, but I cannot recall what the bulk of the letters are. But I found this one online and it is more encompassing anyway. Part of recovery is truly taking the lead on your own life and seeing that by being codependent, I gave my power away.
L - look & listen. create a vision listening to your body, mind & soul.
E - emotional bonding. avoid anger, fear, hostility.
A - awareness
D - DOING! My easiest piece.
E -Empowerment
R - Responsibility
S- synchronicity
I have also been focusing on eating 3-0-1. Three meals a day. No snacks. One day at a time.
So to wrap up this step I have decided to plan a self-forgiveness ritual. Once I get that worked out, I will return and sign off on this step and move into Step 10. I will have to be extra careful with Step 10 as I am struggling with self criticism and an ongoing habit of apologizing for LOTS of stuff I have no control over...
