5 Steps to get back on track!

by Doll Creelman

I’ve dug myself into a deep hole here.  Not a good thing.

My energy level is zapped and I feel like weeping much of the time.  Again, not good!
I need a plan and I need it NOW!

This is my plan:

• When you are in a hole…stop digging! This is so true.  The more I dwell on what’s pulling me down the further I get sucked into the mire.  I need to stop!
• Time to assess the situation. Is this something I can handle on my own?  Do I need assistance? Life and death? Logically I can rationalize the life out of the problem.
• Take steps to move forward. For me this means not just putting a plan together but following through.  (I’m working on this now)
• Take a break! Time for me to get outside.  Fresh air and light exercise does me the world of good.  The pool awaits!
• Be kind to yourself. The is possibly the most difficult thing for me to do.  I have many wonderful people around to support me but I suck at supporting myself.  I need to find effective ways to comfort myself without food or any other self-destructive behaviors.

To make this work I need to follow all five steps!  So, I’m going to put these on 3 x 5 cards and place them in key areas of my home.

I need to be reminded, constantly!

Do you have ideas that would help me along??

Please add your comments.

I have a long-term goal ahead of me and getting there is going to take some creative planning.

Do you have a plan today??
