[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 751307, member: 24254"] Yes, taking care of ourselves is a full time job! On a physical level I go to the gym almost every day, I practice yoga, I make sure to keep doctor's and dentist's appointment, I work at getting enough rest, observe 7-9 hours of sleep at night . On an emotional level, I attend Al-Anon, I sponsor people in Al-Anon and AA, I have a sponsor in both programs , I attend meetings regularly and I share to dump my emotional turmoil. I have learned to not abandon myself when I have feelings come up and not to drown them out with food, too much activity, or other obsessions. I allow feelings to bubble up and really feel them, and by acknowledging and allowing them, they move through . Spiritually, I pray daily, I meditate 15 min every morning, I attend Unity on Sundays and I am studying a spiritual course every day right now. it's a lot and it leaves very little room for others. I have to fill my own cup first and can only spend that which overflows out of my own cup on others. Keep up the self care and establish routines around them which will save you when life on life's terms happens. [/QUOTE]
