clement ci - day 208 attempting abstinence, 128 from self

clement - 6 Jun 2013 - 11:57pm

From "15 points for a procrastinator to consider when confronted with the urge to go off plan" :

5. Develop and rehearse a daily plan of thinking and acting by which you will live that day without going off plan, regardless of what may upset you or how hard the old urge to go off plan may hit you.

Abstinence from unplanned time.

  • The one thing, the only thing, i can do impulsively is write something on my todo list.
  • The one thing, the only thing, i can do off plan is recovery, something to maintain my sobriety, when tempted. I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety than to get things done.

Abstinence from relying on self. AA Big Book says to rely on God. Quoted in my bookmarks : scroll down to "AA Big Book on fears : relying on God not self-reliance:"

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER

remembered that my worth rests in what God thinks of me, what Jesus did for me on the cross, not on my performance, past or present.

THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (everything i "did well" comes from god, either thru gifts he's given me or the way he's transformed me)

i received a renewed conviction that my past failures should not affect my present. Jesus has washed them away in his blood on the cross. They are no more. God does not remember them. As far as the East is to the West, so has God removed my sins from me. I realized today that remembering this fact faith statement will totally eliminate loss of productivity due to guilt, fear, feeling like a failure, and escapism. That's a huge chunk, but not all of it

That i helped the wife.
That i met a great business associate.
that i went to client's office and was successful and efficient.

Clement's Causes of Lost Productivity:

  • (FORGIVENESS CURES) fear
  • (FORGIVENESS CURES) fear of failure
  • (FORGIVENESS CURES) feeling like a failure
  • (FORGIVENESS CURES) dread
  • (FORGIVENESS CURES) guilt
  • (FORGIVENESS CURES) escapism
  • getting distracted and not realizing it
  • dopamine deficiency (this is related to fear and dread--same thing?)

Mole's check in

Mole - 6 Jun 2013 - 5:47pm

9-12.30 write with poms. Borders

THINGS I DID WELL TODAY 

much better self discipline with poms

a glimmer of light with methods and turning 

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER 

not fallen to book buying temptation. It happened because I was at a loose end in town between two activities. This is regular, so I need to find something clear cut to do in this time.

THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR 

Joan Ross exhibition, D's coaxing, Meal with A and the reaches of imagination and conversation.

 

 

back to the future...
