Enjoying Life
Do something fun today.
If you're relaxing, let yourself relax, without guilt, without worrying about the work that is undone.
If you're with loved ones, let yourself love them, and let them love you. Let yourself feel close.
Let yourself enjoy your work, for that can be pleasurable too.
If you're doing something fun, let yourself enjoy it.
What would feel good? What would you enjoy? Is there a positive pleasure available? Indulge.
Recovery is not solely about stopping the pain. Recovery is about learning to make ourselves feel better; then it's about making ourselves feel good.
Enjoy your day.
Today, I will do something fun, something I enjoy, and something just for me. I will take responsibility for making myself feel good.

So true, if I am not enjoying myself today, I have to ask myself, "What didn't I do to cheer myself up?" I have my afternoon shows I like to watch, before they were "You have to watch these, they were must have to my day." Now I enjoy them and I don't like missing them, especially 'The Chew' and yet it doesn't spoil my day if I miss it. My whole life evolved around my TV shows and I had to take my thinking and turn it over to my thinking over to God. A lot was associated with food and drink, my relationship to others, and events seemed to go together. This is a spiritual program and I applicable to all areas of my life.
