At Alanon today, the topic was self-love.

I love myself, without guilt, and am showing that by taking time to enjoy life. I'm feeling kinder and nicer towards myself.

Through therapy I found a deep layer of self-hatred that I was taught by my parents... I had learned it well, without ever knowing it was there. Now that's been dissolved.

Self-love comes in many shapes and forms, big and little... giving myself breathing space to heal, enjoying a cup of tea or coffee, taking a moment to slow down and really be aware of all the good things in my life....

I went to my second meeting today. There were more people in attendance, and again everyone was so supportive. It was really amazing.

I was a bit scattered, but one of the readings was about a bird making a nest in your hair and how you could prevent that.

OT - this past week or so, I'm trying to take care of myself. That's what I shared today
