Still working on that myself. I have a few things that help. I try to eat a good meal, like a healthy meal with protein and fruit or veggies. That always makes me feel better :innocent:

That makes sense… I’m currently on my fitness pal and watching how much I eat is making me feel like I have some responsibility and control.

Yeah I get that. I remember you were posting earlier about that.

I am kind of thinking two ways on that. On the one hand I would like to lose some weight. However I have also found that I enjoy healthy cooking. I figure if I have a basically healthy activity then I can cut myself some slack, having a good meal with friends or family. (I usually try to keep it to a reasonable calorie amount for my day, but I don’t beat myself up for being above my calorie count for the day. Life’s too short and anyway I’m not in this to produce the slimmest corpse when I die. :grin:)

For me, it’s about putting the day behind me and finding a zone

Music is my job but it’s also my therapy I practice everyday for the most part, but if I’m having a bad day I skip the regimented practice routine, I just put on the headphones. Create a track and play over it, good bad or indifferent it’s not about making time, it’s about having a good time sometimes it’s shit. Other times I’m hitting up my mates with yo check this out what do you think?

Just gotta find your zone. That one place where you can tell everyone to fuck off and enjoy the moment

I’ve learned that I can start my day over anytime I want. Why let waking up in a bad mood ruin my day? I don’t give people enough space inside my head to let them ruin my day either. I’ve learned that only I can control the mood of my day and if I have a bad day it’s because I let myself have one

Really that’s heavy.
Grateful for another day …
Praying for those who are gone and those still struggling and suffering :candle:

Take Time To Pray

I got up early one morning and rushed into the day I had much to accomplish that I didn’t have time to pray Problems just tumbled about me and heavier came each task. Why doesn’t god help me? I wondered.

He answered, you didn’t ask. I wanted to see joy and beauty. But the day tolled on gray and bleak

I wondered why god didn’t show me. He said, but you didn’t seek.

I tried to come into god’s presence

I used all my keys at the lock God gently and lovingly replied,

My child you did not knock.

I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day I have so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

This poem used to be on my grandmother refrigerator when I was growing up and it carried over to my recovery. Always remember you can start your day over again at any time. We strive for progress not perfection. Keep the faith and always remember it’s one day at a time
