[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 270721"] Rushing a bit... but saw some "key" words that I thought were interesting, starting with the word "redirecting." It is one of the words I used in a recent post. Did you see it? Did you get the idea there? This would warm my heart. Redirecting is a very important tool in all of this. If you are a teacher, surely you know that if your mind is busy in a different place, you (or your student) can not be thinking (or obsessing) about another issue. Often times those issues are not healthy for the individual. So, redirecting/distracting is a healthy tool. No reason not to do it for ourselves. So, finding things that we LIKE to do pays off in a major way. Cross-sitch. Folks have told me that this has actually helped them lose weight! Exercise!!! Can't beat this! Walking is always a great choice. It is easy on the body. If you can do it early in the morning, you will get the added benefit of early morning sun, which might help with Vitamin D...anti depression benefit there. (by the way, you can take a D3 tablet if you walk inside at a gym, etc. it has helped me and many others when under too much stress and feeling down). Also, I agree with- the others....nuruture your relationship with your husband. He sounds like a good man. Put energies there. Sadly, from what I have read and listen to and recently observed with daughter's semi boyfriend....UGH....drug addicts are con artists extraordinaire. You actually HELP them when you refuse to play the game. With both of my children, enabling was detrimental. (Re-read 100x). husband has often filled in for missing "others" at times. Birthdays, mothers day, etc. It is okay. Perhaps there will come a time, when you will do something like this for another. When the going gets tough...even if your spiritual side is limited...surely you can say a little prayer. [/QUOTE]
