What Did You Do For You Today???

Took a nap, which was needed apparently as I slept almost 2 hours. Now, for myself, I'm avoiding lying down after my therapy appointment. I don't think the reason behind wanting to lie down is healthy. I just want to hide and feel safe. I need to learn to do that from wherever I am at, not just hidden in my room.

After going to aqua fit. I rewarded my self with a cup of coffee at the gym cafe.

Went to Sydney. Saw my psychiatrist. Went to treatment for my back. Went out tonight.

Bought myself a soda(pop, carbonated beverage) before my therapy appointment yesterday. I get so thirsty talking and it is the one time of the week I drink soda. It's my little treat. Depends on the weather, if it's cold I get a cappuccino. Either way, they are once a week treats.

Haven't decided what I'm doing for myself today.

They called to tell me my car was ready to be picked up! It seems that the parts that they put in my car the first time were defective, assembled incorrectly at the factory, so I should be good to go now. I would hope so!

I then went and had a massage. I didn't tell her about what has been going on with me, as their place had flooded last week and they are still dealing with that. In fact, I had to walk over sandbags to get into the place. All I know, is that she knew that I needed it!

I then went and got me some ice cream.:)

I went to therapy. And that's a choice I make every week to engage myself in self care.

Meditation CDs. Rang a crisis line. Tried to phone a friend.

I took care of some bank issues right away this morning instead of procrastinating and feeling worse about them.

Today I had a new sky+HD box installed. Which means now we can watch film that they have on the store from weeks ago that we missed. As well as catching up on regular programs that we missed.

Just have to teach hubby how to use it now.

I mowed the lawn instead of cleaning the house and sang Al Green songs at the top of my lungs. Good thing the mower is loud and my neighbors aren't close by.

I meditated. I thought about my thinking. I decided to shift my focus.

It was the day before yesterday but I'm still posting it today because I still want to acknowledge it. I'd been having a very hard time on Thursday and it carried over into Friday. I was so exhausted I decided I needed some kind of self care. So I took myself out and got a manicure and a pedicure. Then I stopped and picked up some of my favorite food that I only occasionally eat.

When I got home with my dinner I reflected on the last 2 days. I realized the hard time I'd been having since Thursday was me going into and out of an emotional flashback. I was so glad I practiced self care enough to calm down enough to be able to recognize what was happening. I was able to let myself off the hook for some of my behavior because I was really beating myself up and having a very hard time forgiving myself.
