I took it one day at a time yesterday and crushed it. One more day in the work week and then it’s the weekend. Today I am putting work on recovery by:

Meditating
Going for a walk
Picking my media
Noticing stress
Actively coping
Using blockers
Being mindful
Taking it one day at a time

Slower day today so just getting started, but remembering as I am writing this that it is one day at a time.I know what the main stressor I need to deal with is and I’ll just need to put up with her in a skillful way rather than running away. I have two and a half hours where I really need to get things done. Use meditation, notice my stressors, and remember one day at a time.

Got up this morning and walked/jogged 6 miles. Feeling urges so came here. Definitely stressed by my to do list so using my blockers. I’ve got three days and it’s one day at a time. Need to put my phone in foyer mode for an hour to ride the wave.

I made it to a week! Definitely feeling stressed, but trying to notice it. Today I’m going to need to use my blockers, put my phone on foyer mode, and remember that I am trying to be a role model for my future kids. I’ve meditated for 15 straight days so I’m going to go do that now.

Relapsed. But, in a way this time feels different. I know what I did wrong and it’s correctable.

Things I have to do differently:

  1. Stat vigilante. I lost my vigilance over the past 48 hours and got complacent.
  2. I need to see my warning signs when I get stressed (can’t focus, stress eating) and TAKE ACTION. Blockers, foyer mode, a meditation, take it one moment at a time, pick one thing and get it done)
  3. Stick with my good habits. Morning meditation and exercise.

Ok. Exhale. Starting fresh. I can do this if I put my recovery first and stay vigilant

Checking in this morning. Used blockers effectively last night. Have an audiobook that is due back tomorrow that I need to finish.

Today I am actively staying vigilant, using blockers, putting my phone in Foyer mode and watching for triggers.

One day at a time.

Thanks Jazzy!

It’s been a very stressful weekend of house hunting and the urges are very high. I’m tired and I need to rely on my skills. Blockers, foyer mode, and remembering that my audiobook is due in a week.

One day at a time.
