Distraction was - still is- often my friend.
Podcasts? movies on youtube? Binge watching a new or old series on Netflix?
Clean? Laundry? . . . I make a daily to do list with, usually, 7-10 things on it - today is:
1 Devotional/SR/BB read/HALT/Richard Rohr email devotional (this is on the list every day, for the morning)
2 Stretch
3 Run
4 Calendar- return to Target?
5 Grocery
6Labs - check records - calcium??
7 Meet [sponsor]
Lists help me. I like referring throughout the day and crossing things off.
Hang in there. It will get easier.
