I have been very busy working on our business, working at my collating job, working at my two writing jobs, doing research on mental illness, business, fishing, classical music, addiction and alcoholism, science, Christianity, current affairs, and whatever strikes my fancy, trying to take time to write for all my blogs, and help Kim with the household chores. As you can see I have a lot on my plate. I will have to give a few things up and just focus on what I decide to do.
I just love being active and busy and I need to be occupied with doing things. Despite this I still need to take time out for myself. I am not busily occupied with activity all of the time. It is important to take a break from all the hustle and bustle and just chill out and relax. What I do for R & R is play the guitar and sing, play video and computer games, watch my favorite TV shows, and when I am alone crank up the stereo and listen to classical music, rock back and forth in my rocking chair.
I am trying desperately to find balance in my life between work, my personal activities, and what I do for R & R. Balance is very important for my recovery from my two mental illness's, my addiction and alcoholism. Not having balance can cause stress and to much stress can cause a relapse for all my conditions.
I am very determined and motivated to resolve these problems and find that necessary balance in my life so I can continue to recover from all my conditions. I believe that I can do it but it might take a bit of time to sort everything all out and get back on track. Life is full of ups and downs but how we deal with these ups and downs determines what quality of recovery we have in our lives. I am recovering and I shared these things with you, my readers, with the purpose of helping you find your own recovery. Every one's recovery and path in life is different. We are all unique individuals and we need to find our own way through life. I am just hoping that what I share on this blog will help my readers find their own path of recovery and help guide you on your journey through life.
