[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 701742, member: 13542"] I love all your ideas Jodie. I've found that focusing on myself is a process, it takes time. It's like learning a whole new way of perceiving the world where my thinking shifts into what is it that I need as opposed to what do "they" need. Each small choice leads to the next choice and those lead to bigger choices which leads to real change. You're doing an excellent job, you've shifted that focus, you have plans, you're implementing those plans. And, there is grief, I believe that is part of it, we are letting go of the way life has been for a very long time.......I think it's healthy to acknowledge and feel that grief.......along with the excitement of putting together a new life. I was a bit surprised how that grief popped up occasionally......but as time went on that lessened considerably....... If you're interested in any books, I found these to be helpful along the way....... Codependent no more by Melodie Beatty; The power of now and the New Earth by Eckhart Tolle; Comfortable with uncertainty and Living Beautifully by Pema Chodron and Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankle. :) [/QUOTE]
