Sunday Morning

The facilitator training this past week was wonderful.  The focus was on wellness, how to become well and how to stay well.  I got some great tips from the people in the group, such as paying attention to how I feel each day.  I often make plans of what I want to do in the upcoming days, only to find that I can't get it all done.  Paying attention to how I feel during the day will help me to be more realistic as to what I can do.  I can adjust my expectations accordingly.  Today I will do laundry, cook, get ready for errands tomorrow, and work on my WRAP plan.  That will be enough for the day. 

I feel more like myself than I have in years.  Lately I've been very flat - feeling no emotions at all.  Not sad, not happy, nothing.  No wonder I didn't have much motivation.  Now I feel more peaceful and content.  I also feel more connected to my body.  I feel more alive whereas I had been just existing.

One thing that I've struggled with all my life is vacillating between being sluggish, not being able to get started, and being hyper, wanting to do too much, feeling excited, nervous and anxious.  I can now look at this as an early warning sign, and create an action plan to help me deal with this. 

So, all in all, I have to say that I am optimistic about my future, taking one day at a time.
