Taking zero time for one's self is a habit that so many of us have and so is the idea that 15 minutes aren't enough to accomplish anything, so why bother? Baby steps aren't as fast as running, 15 minutes isn't the same as a whole day to yourself, but even small changes can take you down the same path! Alex I am happy to hear that you are making progress in recovery, it’s an ongoing process and I encourage you to keep going!

I think sometimes I have two problems. The first is that I have the problem of not making those 15 minutes count, and not being fully in the moment and feel I need more time, which just pushes off the other things I need to get done. The second is that I will do the opposite, I'll take zero time for myself and feel guilty for doing so. In the past several months I've learned a lot of balance in recovery from my eating disorder and I am doing a much better job of taking time for myself.

Susan Drennan Sat, 21 Jan 2012 22:25:09 +0000 http://elizabethpatch.com/?p=6493#comment-12976 This is where it starts, finding 15 minutes at a time for myself. To do for others, you have to recharge yourself. There has to be something in the cup before you can give. In the hustle and bustle, sometimes it's hard to just get quiet and think and be for, say, 15 minutes. It is well worth it. It's where direction begins. What do I want? Why do I want it? Where do I want to go? How will I get there? Who do I want on the journey with me? Good questions, and there are answers. Here is to finding them.
