Boundaries
I work on maintaining my boundaries in my relationship with an alcoholic. It is also important for me to put up some boundaries for my thoughts.
Just for today I will not allow my thoughts to tell me I'm a problem to solve. I will not let my thoughts tell me that my AH is a problem for me to solve. I won't let my thoughts call me names, tell me what I should be doing, or spoil my day. I will not let my thoughts get carried away with guilt, problem solving, or making up excuses for why I need to stop a recreational activity I have chosen. I won't tell myself I'm too busy to neglect taking care of my body. I won't let that voice tell me I am inadequate because I didn't lift weights for a month. I will not allow my brain to ruminate about what could go wrong and forget every event and situation that has gone very well recently. Boundaries.
