Truly today has been a struggle just to complete the simplest of task. I took one thing at a time and trudged myself to get started. I got dishes away, 2 loads of laundry done and put away, bathroom clean (mind you not spotless) vacuumed living room, upstairs bedrooms and still managed to take a little time to pursue my new endeavor watercolor painting. The hard part of being a recovering alcoholic is down time could mean a bad time but with Bipolar down time can be calming. Painting and drawing fit both my dilemmas. I journal but sometimes that gets to mundane. I read but sometimes that puts me to sleep(to calming some days). It’s difficult because some of these things just become a checklist or repetitive and that triggers boredom. Anyway, motivation 101 “don’t stop trying to push yourself.”
