10 months today
My journey this time around is taking more twists and turns than I ever imagined.
I'm sticking to these principles...
I pray every day for help to see clearly which direction I should be taking.
I spend time every evening reviewing my day and trying to see where I might have done things a little better.
I thank the universe every day for the million blessings I have in my life.
I try not to be scared, or hurt by the small stuff, or prideful. When I do get twisted up with this stuff, I go find a quiet place in my head, and try and reason it out. Then I try to pass it over to God...there must be a lesson I'm supposed to be learning from this.
I try to help those who are hurting, especially so when it seems like it might be uncomfortable to do so. Being comfortable isn't always the right place to be.
I try to be kind and thoughtful. I care about others.
I try to practice empathy and compassion.
I'm open minded to recovery methods and interested in learning more.
I never say never. Just because something isn't happening now, doesn't mean it never will.
I'm taking care of my body. I have learned to exercise. I try hard to eat properly but don't beat myself up if I don't always do so.
I show people that I love them. Haven't always done this...I've assumed people know and they don't always.
I am tackling those things I know have the power to hurt me deeply...AlAnon for my codependency issues, Buddhist meditation classes for my serenity and clarity of thought.
I try to balance things. My job has always been too big. I ask myself now...does this need to be done now, or can it wait? Does it need to be done at all?
I am developing a relationship with my Mum who for many years was top of my resentment list. This is bringing us both such joy.
I am trying very very hard to develop a trust in others.
Seems to be working 😊

Congratulations Jeni, 10 months is brilliant.
I'm not so far behind you, I'll be 10 months on the 30th. I have to say you sound more sorted than me though, I like and am inspired by the methods you list, maybe I'll adopt some of them.
well done you
xx
