Whew, this is a DEEP subject for Friday! My brain is fried BUT for me I think it is about learning to take care of myself and being loving and gentle with myself.
Like Elaina, I eat on a schedule, but every two hours. For most of my life I ate whatever and whenever and feeling hungry hardly ever happened and if it did I was SCARED I would get sick or faint or blow-up! Hungry was a place I didn't like to go (for whatever reason). Now sometimes I do get hungry but I am learning to trust I will be okay and I know I will eat soon. Part of me wants to say...being hungry is my friend...BUT HOLY COW...NOT TODAY! Maybe more of an acquaintance than an enemy
Sleep...I have learned to be respectful of sleep too. I need to go to bed and I need my sleep...8 hours or more. That is part of taking care of myself.
Boy I feel like I am babbling...thanks for listening!!
