The smallest of gifts and the most simple rewards are doing a great deal to make me feel better.
The weekend for me was a stressful and anxt ridden place. From Sunday morning until now I have been giving myself little treats. Small things that even I might not see as a treat and they are really treats. I went to a paint store yesterday and played with colours, I did a half hour of garden tending this morning, I had a tiny scoop of ice-cream last night after swimming.
I have been doing things that give me little me time breaks thru the day that are a pleasure and are not work or related to work. These little me time breaks allow me to get back into the middle rather than being all tipped over into the crave or getting away from the crave. Amazing how trimming a plant or picking through a catalogue pass the time and move my mind from where it was to something different. Very much how posting on this site works or how drinking a glass of water works.
What a different and unusual place to be, gifting to myself, rewarding to myself.
HMMMMM Not like I am super experienced with this and I noticed today that when I was doing these little things that I felt a huge amount better.
Thanks
