there is a word that is used to remind us of the importance of taking care of ourselves...HALT...never get too...(H is for) hungry...(A is for) angry...(L is for) lonely... or (T is for) tired...i had to HALT earlier...and upon reflection...last night i did not sleep well...that could be why i did not feel rested or well this morning...then there is the caffeine thing...hey...progress not perfection...haha!...then there was not eating till late afternoon...
so i ate a bite, and laid down...guess what? i am feeling better...
many alcoholics and addicts suffer from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)...i am one of those, so eating...healthy...is very important to my recovery...as well as limiting my intake of caffeine...(i remember drinking a cup of coffee around 3pm yesterday, when usually, i never drink anything with the big C in it past noon...shoulda never done that...pretty sure that is why i could not go to sleep last night...).
soooooo...i am not powerless over everything...taking care of the needs of my body is something i can learn to do...as well as my emotional and spiritual needs, one day at a time...
just for today, i am going to start paying better attention to what my body is telling me it needs, and try not to neglect it...
many blessings...star.
