Here's to focusing on us! What are 5 things you are going to do today that are going to focus on you, and advance your goals:
1) Have a drink with a friend
2) Grade at least 10 papers
3) Jump rope on the trampoline
4) sign up for piano lessons
5) pull out my materials for my book-- start to organizing them.
6) teach my mom how to play Euchre

Thanks KC Sunshine!
1 Sleep in
2 Take a nice long whirlpool bath
3 Go shopping and find a favorite perfume
4 Go to dinner with my daughter
5 Take a pointless drive
All of these things were totally unacceptable toy ex. It drove him insane when I did things for me and only me.

Teereese: I love pointless drives!
Today, I will:
1. Celebrate my son's birthday (and focus on him, not my woes!)
2. Work out
3. Finish work project that's been hanging over my head.
4. Meditate
5. Go for a walk
6. Think about me and what I want vs. pwBPD (and what he is doing/thinking/feeling/wanting), and push away delusions that this could ever work out.
