To Live or Not to Live - Part Three - Progress
Inventory time; where are you in life with relation to health and fitness, friends and relationships, job satisfaction, etc? When you look in the mirror do you like what you see or do you hate yourself and everything you do not stand for?
Planning stage: to be here means you have decided that you want a better way of life and are prepared to do what you have to do to achieve it.
Let us get started.
1) Consult with a psychiatrist and a therapist.
\r 2) Be honest.
\r 3) Weigh yourself and be honest.
\r 4) Monitor your eating habits for a month with a daily journal that has calorie calculations for clarification of positive or negative.
\r 5) Begin a slow steady exercise program and be constant.
\r 6) At the end of a month weigh yourself again always being honest..
\r 7) Evaluate progress with psychiatrist and therapist: happy or not happy with them (him or her). Happy with your level of input and the content and value of that input plus the reciprocal input from therapies.
\r 8) Have fun: make a plan to include a fun activity at least once a week that does not cost anything or minimal expense at the most, thereby reducing remorse about spending money and preventing regression.
\r 9) Set aside a small amount of money every week so that at the end of the first month you have a stipend to treat yourself to something that will encourage you to continue and have no regrets as you have saved for this occasion and have earned it too.
\r 10) During the first month make a list of all your favourite activities going back as far as you can remember, highlighting the ones with the greatest warmth factor.
\r 11) Relax; it is a five-letter word with a nice sounding rhythm and does not want to be complicated with a project-oriented procedure. Simplicity is the essence of successful relaxation.
\r 12) Call a friend and say hi in the happiest tone you can muster.
\r 13) Go to the library and look up self help books and psychology / psychiatry books.
\r 14) Next look up nutritional books.
\r 15) See how you can fit the knowledge you obtained in the above books in your life.
\r 16) Talk about this with your therapist and psychiatrist.
\r 17) Call a family member or loved one for a five-minute chat and let it flow.
\r 18) Goal setting is a very beneficial and influential way of moving forward. Find an educational book or video to help you in setting goals and understanding why it is necessary to make them and to make them realistic and achievable.
\r 19) Look in the mirror and tell yourself you count, make a face or more and see the smile broadening.
\r 20) Learn to receive and willingly accept help from others and to also ask for it too. It is not a sign of weakness to ask.
\r 21) Offer your help to others, especially to someone who you know will be totally surprised, but positively delighted you came along.
\r 22) Last but by no means least, develop an understanding with God where you believe you are on the road to being the person He created you to be and by recreating yourself you will be more and more in His likeness.
\r 23) Congratulate yourself for coming this far.
You can if you want to. You may if you believe you can. You will if you listen to your inner sense. First you must open the doors of your imagination and allow the wind to blow the cobwebs away. Fresh air is a must, breathe it in. Plant a flower or two and watch them grow as you attend to them.
