I have to keep the focus on each day. Here's why....Yesterday was an unusually difficult day at work. I was pushed to tears...I remembered what I pledged to do instead of binge-eat...Try to find something to soothe me and help me plow through the problem. OK, so it was a bit of crying. I needed to release some of that stress and it's ok...Then, I called my boss to tell him I was in need of help. He responded kindly by telling me to walk away from the problem for now and he would come to assist. After walking away a bit, I was able to regroup and start on resolution by the time my boss and co-worker arrived to assist. The resolution I initiated did help.
It must have been something in the air, because DH came home from work bound up in frustration about his own job! As I sat listening, full to the brim of my own anxiety, I prayed that I could be a helpful wife. My DH needed to share and I wanted to be there for him. I nodded as I listened. Later I shared my day and we both concurred that the day was one we didn't want to repeat!
As I readied for bed, I wondered how restless my sleep would be with all the jumble of thoughts running through my head. More was to be resolved in the morning and my brain has a tendency to grab ideas and turn them over and over until resolutions appear. So, I grabbed a devotional reading to put my mind on something else. Soon, I slept and actually slept better than I have lately!
My head hurts a bit today, but my friend just called to check on me because she knew what a challenge my day had been. I will keep my focus and keep asking for assistance from others and from my Heavenly Father! Sometimes it's "one day at a time" but sometimes it has to be "one minute at a time"...
