Question for you... what do you do to take care of yourself?

I swim regular 3 times a week, sometimes more, eat fresh cooked foods, balance time between boyfriend, family and my own personal time, meditate, do yoga, watch how much im smoking, on four a day, also smoke cannibis, but like one a day, sleep as much as i can, rest, but somtimes when i feel low or crap about myself things slip - but most of the time i do good! i want to organise myself better, have less fears!

When you feel low or crap what type of support system you have?

For me all is well until things are crap when all my codependency acts up during that case i either call my sponser, other coda members, go to any 12step meetings, try to be surrounded by healthy positive people... if nothing works i dont think twice to go to fitness center or schedule an appointment with therapist or write my issues in hournal or daily strength ...

try and get my ass into the gym!!! or talk to someone!

i hate having lows!!!

Having ups and lows is inevitable......hating the lows only makes it worse.... When you are at lows how about say to yourself what best can I bring out of this situation...what is this incident trying to tell me also how about I make a gratitude list when I am low so that it makes you self worth? Just a thought

Pamjit,
Just a thought, are you smokin street cannabis? Only ask because I have a legal smokin license and it makes a difference in what you're smokin for medicinal purposes.
If not the right medicine it can bring you DOWN no matter how hard you try to take care of yourself.

Then the sugar munchies makes it worse......just a thought cuz I been there. :-))

i live in the uk so i guess its street cannibis, yes!

dont smoke till the end of the day, am gonna cut down and eventually stop - one about one to 2 joints per day, how much do u smoke? I have just had a hair anaylsis done and i have quite a mineral imbalance and am on vits and minerals for that, and that probably doesnt help with how i feel.

I dont smoke. I can't even take second hand smoking. My only compulsion was coffee and my ex-bf both are out .... Now on sugar detox for 21 days .... Looking for healthy lifestyle, wellness and spiritual oriented path...

Cannabis and Alcohol are both depressants..I'm not alocholic and dont smoke weed...but I have stopped my glass of wine in the evenings...because I found that it was causing me to feel more sadness than I feel when I dont put it in my system. I am working towards putting things in my body that promote well being on all levels...physically and mentally. I am big on Omega3 Fish Oil right now..there is lots of information on its benefits to our brains and bodies out there.
Blessings on your journey.

I here ya daystar, sugar, coffee, second hand smoke is the worse, starting yoga again, doing mindfulness meditaion, gone totally vegan and it feels wonderful, get enough sunshine to ward off depression, any and everything I can to help me. If you get NetFlix there is a good healing yoga flick that is so easy written by a couple that I suggest. It's not about getting into pretzel positions but relieves pain and stress.

It was always any and everything I can to help others. i am even going to order flowers for myself on my birthday this April. Whoo Hooo. I may go to a spa in Santa Fe. Oh la de da. Just for moi.

Fyi, I let out I smoke cannabis but that is because i have PTSD. It is the only thing that helps me. Thanks God it is legal and i am legal and it is tested and organic.

I do the Goddard (sp) muscle test to determine what products are good for me and what weakens me. Salt is so bad for me. Sugar. Ironically black pepper is good.

Cndy2010,
Beware, this one is a yucker.

Have you checked out Omega3 in plant oil yet? Not to freak you out but the plant oil doesn't rot in your gut like the fish oil tends to do in some particular products sold on the market.

Good you stopped the nightly alcohol regime as it will interfere with sleep patternes and will indeed cause sadness. Good call cndy2010.
