HALT


HALT=hungry, angry, lonely, tired.  This recovery acronym can help us recognize when these unmet needs may be influencing our behavior.  HALT can be a helpful tool for emotional awareness and our resulting actions.  We can be on the look out for these four stressors and take care of ourselves in a better way.  :)

 Absolutely.

Precisely when we are feeling the strain to be aware (using our 3 A's) and to use HALT, relax, have a nap, go for a walk, read some CAL, go to a meeting (the big one that always makes me feel sanity returning!).

Also, I like PAUSE , Postpone Action Until Serenity Emerges ... so good

Have a good day x

Feeling a need of some PAUSE myself at the moment, feelings of resentment, bit of anger and abandonment too.

Thank you so much for PAUSE. I'm working my way through a bunch of acronyms and hadn't heard of this one yet.

Sending love, light, and prayers, Lyne
