Day 12: Rest

We often try to cram so much into our busy weeks that we fail to take time to just relax and rest.
Try and do that today.

Rest is important.

 

[LanguageOfLove]

For tomorrow.

Tomorrow I am going to be busy all day (Lunch with the amazing Indie!) but to do that I need to be out of my house early and I don't know if I'll have time later or before I leave to make tomorrow's post.


Wear something that makes you feel amazing.
Whether it's your favorite pair of jeans or a cute dress that always gets you compliments, a cozy hoodie or a sharp suit... we always feel better when we feel like we look nice.
Take the time to dress for you.
Weekends can get lost in chores and "work" that we grunge up for, if that's the case then save it for a day that it works better, but you deserve to look nice for you.

Thanks for the tip....I'm gonna do just that, wear something that makes me feel good

I was craving rest while sitting, hungover, in Mass today. The rest of my day was busy, but lovely.

Next time, we get a hotel room. Or don't get sloppy drunk.

Yeah, I think that's probably the best way to handle future visits. Then you can do the talk thing until you fall asleep and have breakfast together in the morning.

All you have to do is look in the mirror, think of all the good things you do, all the good things you have, all your best attributes, tell yourself you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Repeat it and keep thinking it

Hmm... refers back to page one and first post.... nope... doesn't appear to be so...

If it was only that simple....

If it was only that simple....

You have to try something different, if whatever you're doing isn't working, keep trying different methods. Men could give you compliments all day and it won't help, if you don't believe it yourself

Exactly. I never believe them. Compliments feel like lies.

Which is why the thread exists.

Trying to learn to be nicer to myself.

When I used to start getting down, fed up of going out on dates and not meeting someone special, I used to treat myself. I cleaned the house spotless, put new sheets, scented candles, long hot bath, treat myself to dinner in a nice restaurant, movies and go buy myself things that I like. I would go home to a great smelling spotless apartment and listen to slow relaxing music.

Day 13: Date yourself.

What he said. ^^^^
Yeah. That's today's task.

If you can't do it today, then make plans to do it.

@LostGirlTink Thanks for creating this thread. I've been checking it a lot lately as I work through some of my own issues.

And today, I just want to celebrate my body and being able to move it. So I'm doing a 30min workout this morning, a walk at lunch in the noonday sun, and a longer walk tonight by myself to just let my mind wander.

Spending the day with a friend makes me happy.

Day 15:Affirmation

Someone told me last night that I should create an affirmation and say it to myself 5 times in the mirror this morning.
I had to pick something I like (and believe) about myself and repeat it.
I did it.
It actually made me smile.

Try it.

Day 16: Meditate

Take some time today to try meditation.

Here are some very different links to various meditations.

Meditation for self love

Fuck that Meditation (my favorite actually, it's really calming) NSFW


Love yourself

You wont like this tink. But it really is out of love.

I have been clean 31 yrs in a 12 step fellowship. Do you know how many times i hear this? Those that stay clean keep doing the next right thing. Those that dont...give up. This situation is no different. Believe it or not...i believe in you. This is your thread. You are halfway done. And i have seen growth. Improvement. Even if you havent.

Talk w those close to you. If you choose to see daily topics...they will be there. From as simple as me watching a spider spin its web last night....to the quiet before the sunrise. They are there. This thread is for you....about you...no one but you is you. We would fail where you are succeeding.

Just my 2 cents worth from the peanut gallery.
Hugs

I haven't given up. It's just hard. And I'm unhappy.

I'm ALLOWED to be unhappy. I have to keep giving myself permission to be sad if I am.

I'm not great at that. I tend to always want to be what people expect..
But I do miss feeling happy. I'm not great at being dark.
