If I'm tired, I sleep as much as I can. No feeling guilty, or dragging myself up. I honor my body and it's need for rest. Some days it is twenty hours, other days five. I just listen to what my body needs.
I've been working on detoxing. Not from drugs or alcohol, just from the build up in my system from the Lyme, long term meds, environmental and food toxins. I am taking activated charcoal capsules (100% safe, no side effects) daily. I drink a detox tea. 3 or 4 nights a week, I soak my feet in hot water and a healthy dose of apple cider vinegar. Then I spend an hour or two massaging my feet and hands.
I need to get out and walk more. The weather has turned, so I'm less inclined to walk in the snow, but I'd like to walk more, or at least get back on the treadmill or exercise bike.
I've started reading books. I finished one and am currently oscillating between a couple. I read a study that talked about how the brain has to work and interconnect to read. I've often had difficulty reading...just seemed too taxing and it was hard for me to sit still. Now, I try and read for at least thirty minutes every day.
I've been uncluttering the house of all the unneccessary, unused garbage stuff. I'd like to get three or four grocery bags of garbage or goods out of the house each week. The usable stuff gets donated. The garbage goes in the can and resellable stuff I list on eBay. I think I've hit my goal the past two weeks. It's a positive start.
I started listening to "audioentrainment" videos on YouTube. It's a series of videos with various sound frequencies that claim to help activate, clear and align ones energy. Let me tell ya, They Work. I can feel, sense the energy moving and clearing. I listen to the vids for about an hour each day. Very calming and healing. I highly recommend it.
Somehow this fits in...I've been working with my kids on the importance of R&R, responsibility and respect. I talk to Younglink every single day about the importance. And I help him understand what R&R means, by my actions and through my words. I think I have tolerated his insolence much too long. I am patiently, vehemently addressing this with him. It still bothers me when he is rude and inconsiderate. I must continue to work very closely with him to modify his behavior.
I'm working on being kinder and more considerate, myself. Overall, I rank pretty good there, but I believe I can improve.
I'm keeping up with therapy. Grabbing hugs when I can. Exchanging smies and warm greetings whenever possible.
I think I'm starting to like myself more. I'm realize that I am a good and caring person. I'm starting to believe in me:)
Be well, my friends
