Sucked back in

My worst enemies seem to be my bed and my phone. All I ever want to do is sleep and play Friends in the background.

Hello,

I think a schedule and a media fast would improve the situation. That's what I've done when I find myself in cycles.

Well, I did well for two days. No phone except for calls and texts. Had two GREAT days with my husband. He even commented how we got to do a lot because we didn't stay in bed til ten or eleven like we usually do.

Today I'm on my own and I still felt sleepy when he went to work so I went back to bed. Started feeling anxious where I can't stop thinking about work and getting fidgety. So I grabbed my phone and turned on Netflix.

I'll take the two days as a win. Next goal: two WEEKdays of no phone. I can do it.

I know what you mean. About a walk every day? Mini projects like clean one thing....?

Good ideas. I think I tend to over complicate things. Maybe if I make things simple it will help.

Hey----you're my "goal" pal. My goal for the day------going on a tour of a local historic building's tower. I'm already feeling dizzy; can I / can't I do it??? The friend who bought the tickets is taking my turning up as a sign of allegiance to him-----no pressure then!!! Hope you find your goal for the day & pat yourself on the back when you've done it.x

Sorry I have been mia. How did the tower tour go?? Proud of you for pushing yourself to do something that makes you uncomfortable. Did your friend help you?

Hi LMCello & hope you're OK today. The tower tour went well; I had a few blips of confidence enroute, & a few prickles of panic there. But did it & for that I'm truly grateful.
