In another place and fellowship, some times you will hear that you can find God in Good Orderly Direction (not trying to offend any one of a different beleif system...I speak from the ME veiwpoint alone).

Right now I need Good Orderly Direction. An emotional storm not only took the wind out of my sails but it took my sails!

I need to hear the routine things that people do , even if tiny, that remind them, or keep their focus on themselves and the lifestyle we are trying to acheive here.

For instance--today, even though I was unable to sleep all night and have no children to get up for...I got up at five am (like I do most mornings)because watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee reading and meditating and writing does something to start my day off clear and prepared.

I know if I eat by 8 am I usually am able to not fall 'victim' (ha) to the wrong foods at the wrong times.

I know if I take my camera with me, I will walk for hours.

What do you all do regularly that are part of your system of 'recovery'?

i walk alot if helpe me to deal with stress, walking is my own private thing i can clear my mind

nothing!! this is what I need to figure out! lol

When I was younger, I used to wake up, and immediately hop on my bike. I loved that. (I was also at my skinniest then) Now, I live on too busy of a road to do it..
