Dear Self,
When you know something is working--i.e., changes you've made result in your feeling better, your body feeling better, your head feeling better, and in general life is moving along more easily--don't mess with that. Don't stop doing those things that worked. They worked because you were doing them! They will keep working if you keep doing them.
Feeling better doesn't mean you stop doing those things. Feeling better is a process, not an end point. You'll feel even better than this if you keep doing those things.
--more green tea instead of black tea or coffee
--two bottles of water every morning, with the vitamins and the B 12
--physical exercise, not just moving through my day with maybe a casual walk at the end
--self monitoring. Watch yourself.
--one lazy glass of wine before and after dinner
--lots of water throughout the evening
--go to bed clear headed, reflect on the day, and assess
You took a long healthy time in meditation this morning. Feel good about the fact that you sailed past 365 days in a row and didn't even notice (ego disengaged!). Feel good about the fact that you set a goal of 330 hours of meditation and reached it.
Feel good about your mindfulness. You realized yesterday that you've been spiraling, you noticed it, you noticed what was causing it, and you've shot some good energy to it to compensate. Mindfulness is a win all by itself.
Keep doing that. You're doing fine.
Love, Me
