It’s 9:30 PM on a Friday night and I’m…..

HOME! I am practicing what I preach these days. Early to bed and early to rise- it makes such a difference when I have a lot of work to do. I have to send in a manuscript on Tuesday for a book I don’t really want to write.  In the past, this would have made me stressed and ill- these days I know that I have to modify my life in order to keep moving forward so that I can meet my deadline.

I went out with my family tonight to a spiritual event based on Shaman teachings from Mexico. It’s always great to hear different ways of thinking!

In the past, I would have gone to karaoke afterwards- but not tonight.. NO. I am managing the illness instead of letting it manage me! I know that going out late is a trigger, especially with all of the hypomania I’ve been going through.  I want to make choices that keep me well.  Iused to see this as so boring I thought I would go crazy- now I see it as peaceful.
