Hi All - Thanks Journey - awesome starter!!

Actions taken towards starting my own business:

-emailed a neighborhood site asking if anyone knows of a waitressing job (so I'll have time to start my dog care business).

I have a heavily visited neighborhood site that I can email, this one is not as visited. I'm not ready to email the heavily trafficked one because if no one respomds the disappointmen at present will be too hard.

I'm going out to dinner with hubby and am taking fliers, just in case.

Enjoy your weekends, everyone!!

Convalaria attempting recovery again. Sunday 9.25am and updates

Still surfing too much. Still being distracted by other activities. But I have been checking in a little....... so maybe there is some hope.
Now Iam going to:

  • brush teeth and get dressed 
  • work on laundry and water dumping for 1 hour
  • go to activity at 10m am
  • return home when activity ends
  • check in with further plansby 12.30

heading to chat box

It is 12.51 Not 12.30 as promised. I was blocked in by someone double parking over my car and I did come home almost straight away (just bought a few food items) I do not haqve a good feel for time and I did not wqork on laudry before I left as I did not allow any time for it. Hoping for a productive day.
Next I am going to:

  • work on laundry and water dumping Smile
  • cook a soup
  • see mother
  • do a few things with doggy
  • wash dishes and tidy kitchen
  • get ready to go to a birthday party (shower, makeup, dress, card)Smile
  • leave by 3.15 Smile
  • check in when I return with further plans .Smile

It is 6.21. I wasted time about 50 minutes playing spider before starting my previous task lit. Consequently I did not accomplish as much as I wated to. I did make e xcelllent ptogress on the laundry and bucket watering the gardenCool.

Next I am going to:

  •  cook soup
  • tidy kitchen and wash the dishes
  • see mother
  • telephone friend
  • make dinner for som
  • check in with further plans

It is 6.30 pm and I am heading to chatbox

today need to organize and not binge, but spend some time w/ family, but not ignore my responsibilities either. balance.

fudoshin: getting over shame : 10:19am

Please do not leave advice.  Thank you.  Prayers welcome. 

                                                                                                                

 

Last night I went to karaoke, and for whatever reason I feel really terrible, because I sang WAYYY too high.  I mean, it was like two octaves too high and I really embarrassed myself.  I know it's nto a big deal in the scheme of things, but I feel honestly so embarrassed and each time I think of it, I feel ashamed of my voice, instead of feelign great about it.  I mean, it was like the one thing I felt really great about.  A lot of my ego is linked to my voice, or my musical execution.  Right now I cannot really talk on the phone or speak, b/c I need to rest my voice. But it was just....agh  I know it's not as big a deal as I'm making it, but I feel like whoever was there, now just has more of a reason to make fun of me or think badly of me, and believe me there were already folks who did think badly of me.  And just because I was there as a person by hirself, dancing.  And now this.  I just feel kind of icky about it.  And I'm praying to my HP to help me not let my ego get in the way of what I have to do.  I'm not perfect, but despite that, when I really stay focused, I can be a great singer, even if that record company person does not notice it; it's fucking okay andI don't need to try to compete with the other recording artists at the stupid karaoke.  

I know it's not a big deal, but as a classically trained singer, I feel like I don't even want to be seen in public make a mistake of that gravity.   I know that the shame I feel about my voice is the disproportionate shame I feel about myself as a person and that I do things to make myself feel ashamed, whent they don't really desereve all the weight of shame, and I cannot do this...alone.  I need help from my Higher Power to stop sabotaging my life.

***

As a result of my going there alone I started thinking that "I'm just alone," and "meant to be alone," and all the correspondent crap that comes with my self-shaming priniciple that's led to this addiction.  And I realize now that my anorexia in my sex and love addiction is yet another manifestation of the self-shaming.  I feel like I need to do some serious affirmations from coda today, some reading over of my goals.  Whatever it takes to make me feel like I'm in my right place.  I am staving off of facebook, saynow lines and social networking sites, unofficially, until now-  I am not doing this so much as an anti-procrastination measure, but as an attempt not to compare myself with other people but work on my own spiritual growth. Even if I relate with a comedian enough to call his fan line-- he is not part of my spiritual circle of growth and recovery. 

Hi fuo_shin

Can really relate. Prayers of acceptance coming your way!!

Journey 9:30

OK, I've been up for almost two hours and I've done nada, except get my bags out of the car.   Yoga, then grocery list.  Kids are coming for dinner, so I need to get moving.  Gotta buy groceries, stop by library, visit mom, and get home in time to straighten the house and wipe down the guest bathroom.  DH will probably vacuum, at least I hope so!

I'll check back when i get home from the grocery store, as that's a danger time for me.

Laters!
