Its all in my preception


I just wanted to write on this today, to clear my head.  I have to constantly let myself know that the only thing that gives me pain, so my preception.  And I sure know how to do that, when I get into my dis ease.  I have just finished a 2 year project and it will be sent to the printers within the next 3 weeks, do I take pleasure in that accomplishment, no, now I am fear ful of where to look for a job. ha.  I have to laugh, I know I must learn to take enjoyment over my accomplishments, but then something comes after them that leaves me sad or fearful.  I need to change my preception of this situation, just like I do when my a is using.  It is not the end of the world and take time to relax and enjoy.  I sure get in touch with I want what I want when I want it. 


I will practice giving it up to my Higher Power, wanting that perfect life the way I want it.  OK now I got it, I knew I would if I wrote it out.  I need to learn to live with what life delivers to me, not how I want it. 


It really helps coming on line and reading all the writings.  I sure know how to tell others to take one day at a time, but sometimes I know I need to hear it back. :)


blessings to all

Yes, one day at a time.. Congratulations on finishing the 2 year project that is certainly a great accomplishment


Yes how I want life is not what I am living today.


But each and every day I am working the alanon program and embarking on some self discovery and self improvement.


I am starting to like the results.


Sometimes one hour at a time is all I can handle


Take care of yourself


Megan

KB,

I'm glad that you recognize your progress in learning how to change your perspective/attitude on a situation. I often need to remind myself that my attitude is a HUGE part of how I view the world today.

I absolutely adore Maya Angelou and think she is a very wise woman. One of her quotes fits this situation in my opinion -- "Believe that the world owes you nothing." I think it fits because if I truly come from that point of view then I have gratitude for everything in my life.

Take care and enjoy some of this time between projects.

Love and hugs,
Jessi

Hi kb - Enjoyed your post and you are so right. Our perception of situations can give us problems. Sometimes I have to give myself perrmission to enjoy the moment - then I can let go of tomorrow and not spoil today.

Love in recovery - Dot
