Self-care

Writing things down, journaling, as I do each morning, enables me to clarify things that either have or will occur in the near future.  I use it as part of my process.  Writing both necessitates that I think about my day and the act of writing “pulls” thoughts and feelings out of me.  The result is that journaling helps me sort out the events of my day.
I also indulged in a lot of self-care these last couple of days.  Things like relaxing, exercising, hiking, cooking and weeding in my yard.  As I mentioned in my recovery meeting today, it is important that I care for myself if I am going to be of service to others.
