I have not had to rush around these past few days not working and it has been like taking a deep breath in and letting it out slowing and just being still. I do believe that everything happens for a reason! As I look for work and let outcomes be in God's hands (I will do the footwork) I have time to set some goals for my own integral health.
Physical health- get enough sleep, nap when my body is tired, cook at home fresh food sitting to enjoy it and not rushing, eating 3 healthy meals a day, now that summer is here adding more salad and fresh fruit, and walking. I took my granddaughters on a walk this evening around 7:30p in the coolness of the evening pulling them in the wagon.
Psychological health--going back to my AA/NA meetings and sharing more my emotions, thoughts, and fears (as well as joys), taking my psychotropic medication as prescribed, journaling more, and connecting with my sober supports more (less isolating).
Spiritual health--returning to daily reading of my meditation books, sitting still and quiet in the morning with Nature or taking walks of the beach (I live 5 min from the Atlantic Ocean), praying more, and practicing faith. Also, reaching out and helping others seeking Recovery!
