It's amazing how much easier it is to banish obsessive thoughts and to go from fury to indifference or even charity once I've slept, exercised, and taken my vitamins. If that doesn't work, coffee with friends is usually the thing that tips me over in to health again.
And it's amazing how convinced I am when I'm in the middle of fury or obsessing or feeling victimized that it's an objective truth - that self-care has nothing to do with it.
Guess your not Going Crazy after all :) sounds to be like al-anon is leading you back to yourself and the things that makes you happy & Health... Good for you... Keep up the good work...
With me, since al-anon... I remember ALL the things that use to keep me "Pissed for Days", and drive me crazy, now I go to my daily readers "Courage to Change, Hope for Today, Daily Affirmations ACOA, Langauge of letting go, and One day at a time" and some how I always find things in them to bring me back to the NOW... Love those Index's.... They are my saving grace, from myself somedays :)
Thanks for your post and I am happy that you are taking it forward... Good for you:)
Yes today I was obsessing about husband filing his appeal to Unemployment. I had to go out and mow the lawn to stay out of his business. He is in there writing it up now, but how we can obsess, start fights etc. I had invisible duck tape on mouth.
i agree...physical well being goes with mental well being
