I have to keep telling myself that I need to care for myself first before I can care for anyone else’s
@thoughtfulmomma
Good reminder!
I can keep reminding myself my healing is a journey, and there will be roadblocks & detours.
@TealPhotog
Nice and helpful to see it this way, less stressful and more realistic compared to expecting the journey will be smooth.
I am trying to shift to this mindset and it is definitely helpful. I am reading a book by Pete Walker and he explains that it’s not a smooth path.
@amiablePeace77 Today I was kind to myself by continuing to stay away from alcohol. I went to church. And I also took a big step for me and went to a meetup group. It went really well, it was my 2nd time going. I saw a couple familiar faces and met some nice new ladies. We’re talking about getting together again soon. I think I may have made a friend group. It’s been many many years since I’ve had one, and I haven’t felt this good feeling in a very long time.
@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas
I am happy for you to have had such a good experience and 👍 to staying away from alcohol! A life without alcohol can be so much better and much less stressful!
@amiablePeace77 Thank you. ❤️ For a long time I really thought I needed it to cope. But I am managing. I never realized how much inflammation was in my body until I quit.
Praying to God and asking God for help, being less self critical, rewarding myself for the work I have done. Not putting in too much pressure on myself.
@Admirablerainbow2825
Great self support!
@amiablePeace77
Love this question/subject. Good reminder.
By taking care of my physical and mental health, today I will do that by going to the gym and do some guided meditation tonight. 💕
@Sunthruclouds
Taking care of body and mind will repay you in many ways!
today i can remind myself that i am the only one in control of how i act, so if i really want it i can achieve it! it just takes time :)
@n0tl1b3rty
Learning to deal with our emotions does not come overnight but it will come when you stay on the path of learning and patience!

@akunknown
Wonderful decision!
@amiablePeace77
Thank you!
@amiablePeace77
I know I'm being kind to myself if I eat right and move right. Also, if I'd be patient and be a little less angry.
@Hopefullysunshiny
Awesome. Patience and anger are something one can work on!
@amiablePeace77
I need to tell myself to let things go. Everything I do can't be perfect because I'm human.
@freshRabbit5716
I so agree! Noone can do everything even not machines!
@amiablePeace77
- How can you be kind to yourself today? i can get appropriate amount of sleep!
@daydreammemories
Enough good sleep helps a lot to feel better!
