Visualization: Plan what to do, then imagine yourself doing it. The more specific and vivid your visualization, the better. See yourself doing the task, and doing it well.
Have a great proactive day!

thought I was moving forward, but others not following "my" plan....
Acceptance
from p. 449 of Alcoholics Anonymous, the Big Book of AA
And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or
situation--some fact of my life--unacceptable to me, and I can find no
serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being
exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing,
absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake. Until I could
accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life
completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not
so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be
changed in me and in my attitudes.
God help me change my thinking, get out of my head, and be willing to do
the next right thing, and remeber to be grateful for all you have given
me.

tila - Fri
Productive morning so far. Plan for the rest of the day:
Study - 4-5 hoursHousehold:13tasks + unexpected choresDD timeclement ci - day 64 attempting abstinence
1:24pm : it's been 1 min since i last went off plan. i am overwhelmed and i feel like the walls are closing in on me because i have a deadline of sunday, and it's friday and i doubt i can get it all done. It makes me feel like such a failure and that there is no hope. I have not been on plan since 11:20am when the meeting finished. That meeting's topic was promise 7 the 2nd half of which is:
I wish i had that. God i ask you for that. I think you can do it in me. Hmm amazing how relying on god reduces the anxiety. Do i trust you? You are, in fact, trustworthy. Ok i do trust you. Please guide me. And amazingly, miraculously, divine intervention-ally, i am back on track. I give God all the glory.

2:57pm : it's been 1h 33min since i last went off plan. considering where i started, this is nothing short of miraculous intervention into my life by God himself. Thank you GDO!!! OK so now sort tasks.

Progress, not perfection.
Consistency over emergencies.
Do the thing that feels healthy, not "shouldy" or escapist.

RisingUp Check-In Fri. 1/11
Thanks Lennon.
Having very rough Friday morning so far. Found out checking account was overdrawn by $8 so had to get cash from other account (that was supposed to be used for gas/food) to cover it. Hopefully I'll be spared the hefty overdraft fee. So far so good.
Had to go to loan place to request an extension. Agreed to credit counseling for a fee and had to do all this paperwork/appointments to get loan extended for 2 months. Relieved for now, but I have got to fix my underearning situation pronto. Can't take it anymore!
Feeling the usual dread about calling phone co. yet again for another extension. I paid half of the past due amount this week, but can't pay the rest today. Oy vey. Waiting till I feel more empowered later today/tonight because I currently feel like I was run over by a semi. Got little sleep, and caffeine overload yesterday caused me to crash today. Gas tank is almost empty again. I'm a mess. Feeling hopeless, and definitely powerless.
Work 6 [Please, just freakin' do it!!! If you can do 2, you can do 6] [so far 1 done]
Start job app at some point this weekend, but only after work is completed [MUST SUBMIT BY MONDAY MORNING!]
Walk 1/2 hour
1/2 hr stretching, 1/2 hour toning
Bible/Prayer
Keep track of: water, meals, supplements, breathing
Lit/Insp. Reading 5-6:30pm
GO IN PERSON TO GET EXTENSION in writing
Transfer rent money when received
Call to get phone extension
NO LONGER A PRIORITY:
New project: just do what you can each day, at least $50 [so far $45 done]
kromer 10:30 CI
