For some reason, today when I got up to tend to the whining dog, I got in the shower instead of climbing back in bed. I have this awful mantra in my head. It says, "go back to bed" every time I get up. Today I pushed that out of my mind when I saw my work bag because I wanted to get this project done. It was like magic. Normally I look at things like that and immediately get overwhelmed and that leads to me crawling back under the covers (major avoidance issues!!!) Today I guess I defeated that voice, at least slightly. I mean, it didn't happen until about 11:30am. Does anyone else work second shift? Is it normal to not get your day started until that late? I work 2pm-10pm.
I want to replace this mantra. I have read/heard that if you want to erase a bad habit, you have to replace it with something else. Does anyone have a mantra or saying or quote or verse that gets you motivated or helps you get along in your day?
My head is still running a million miles a minute it seems. Anyone take Neurontin as needed? I have been taking it whenever I start to feel like this because my psychiatrist says it's non habit forming and perfectly safe and impossible to overdose. Thoughts?
