Just for Today, I will try not to procrastinate. I will not let my pain rule my life. Just for today, I am willing to do my laundry. It isn't going to sprout wings and fly away or grow legs so it can walk to the 3rd floor itself. I will be a willing participant in my life today. I real don't dislike laundry, it is just my Fibromyalgia telling me what I can and can't do.

Just for today, I will work on myself. I will take my focus off others and direct it to myself.

MajestyJo · 02-28-2018, 04:34 AM

Just for today, I will try to get to my chiropractor's office, even if I have to taxi there and back home. They are calling for rain. I knew there was a reason I hadn't looked at the weather channel for a couple of days. Checking out the guide for my new server, and decided to take a look. THEY SAY IT IS GOING TO SNOW!!!

MajestyJo · 03-01-2018, 03:34 AM

Just for today, I will practice my program to the best of my ability. I will take the day as it comes, living in the moment. Connecting to my Higher Power, and do my God's Will for me. As one guy shared Tuesday night, practice looking at yourself in a mirror and smile. It is hard to do without cracking up.

Just for today, I will be accepting of the weight gain, knowing that most of it is fluid that my body is retaining. I am grateful it is snowing and I need to put my feet up and get the swelling down, so I can go to my NA home group tonight. That is my priority.

MajestyJo · 03-03-2018, 02:46 PM

Just for today, I will practice my acceptance. Accepting that I not only feel fat, but the fact that I am fat. My body is telling me so. I can't argue, it doesn't do any good. My chiropractor says he never met anyone who was so in tune with their body.

I also have to accept that I shouldn't have ate the third strudel. Two was bad, but it was my lunch. The third was my justified dessert. LOL! Can't get away with denial any how! or is that "any hoo!" Doesn't matter, my stomach is complaining and I am a bit short of breath, so you know that anything that follows but is BS.

I also have to accept I am old. Even if people don't think I look my age, I have to accept that my birthday is coming up and I am not only getting older, I am old.

When I hit 65, I was no longer disabled, even though I had been on it for 15 years. Now that I am going to be 76, over 10 years more, I must be really old.

Acceptance is the key to all my problems in today.

Just for today, I am going to try to do some exercise. It is a word that is made up of two four-letter words. I had trouble sitting up and getting out of bed. I slept for 10 1/2 hours and it felt like I never did, but I was conscious of turning over twice.

The sun is shining, so maybe I will take a walk downtown after I finish my coffee. If I can't get shes on, I will walk around my hallway a few times wearing my sandals. Lord help me to help myself.

MajestyJo · 03-05-2018, 09:31 PM

Just for today, I will be honest as to how I feel and where I am in my recovery. Today has been a hurting day, but I always try not to let my pain dictate my day. That means I accept it and do what I need to do to get through my day with some serenity and peace.

MajestyJo · 03-06-2018, 11:00 AM

Just for Today, I will tell my disease that it belongs on the back burner. I have things to do, places to go, and don't have time for it. I woke up with no pain, and now I have a pain in my left arm, an ache in my side, a sore knee, and a pain in my neck. So I am going to do a meditation and then take a shower and get ready to go out.

MajestyJo · 03-07-2018, 11:33 AM

Just for today, I will accept my pain. I was thinking earlier, that I need to take a time out and do a meditation before I go to the chiropractors. If I don't find the acceptance, I stay stuck. Just like the keys on my computer. It is heating up, so I must close up shop and allow it to cool down.

MajestyJo · 03-08-2018, 08:22 AM

Just for today, I will make a point of connecting to a friend., a stranger will be good too. Isolation is part of my disease. I not only block O/Ps when I shut down, I block myself from my Higher Power.

MajestyJo · 03-09-2018, 10:19 PM

Just for today, I will try to connect with family. It is good to let go of the past and live for today.

MajestyJo · 03-10-2018, 05:40 PM

Just for today, I will be responsible. I will put aside my wants and desires for the things I need to do for my health and well being. It always help me to help another and I hope by sharing my journey each day helps someone else along the way.

MajestyJo · 03-11-2018, 10:19 AM

Just for today, I am setting a goal for myself. I want and need to go to the NA meeting tonight. I have missed it too many times lately because I let something else get in the way of being able to go. My feet have been swollen so badly they have prevented me from putting shoes on or I have done something that caused me to use up my energy or didn't something that was detrimental to my health. Just for today, I will set my priorities first. First thing first is my recovery. We can do what I can't do alone.

MajestyJo · 03-13-2018, 02:19 AM

Just for today, I am going to take care of myself. I will accept my limitations and not overdo things after my fall.
