I am the adult child of an alcoholic father, a wife of a recovering alcoholic who never misses his Sunday meeting, and the mother of an alcoholic daughter who has recently cut us out of her life. For what it is worth to you, your words "refill my cup" with each diary entry. Thank you. Now rest. Rest some more. Rest again. You are a gift to many.
Recreation should actually be spelled re-creation.
You have been working hard to rewire your brain and create the new Jane!
Your brain never "sleeps," but it does need time to "rest and Digest."
Your plan for this Easter weekend is just what the physician requisitioned!
There is a companion to the "changes" quote: "there is only one thing you need to change and that is everything!"
But all those changes are connected to other things that have changed.
It is easy for your mind to get overwhelmed. That is why our brains are programmed to sleep, shutting down the flood of new information and allowing you to organize the information you already have in place.
The good news is you have the 3-day weekend for your brain to re-create itself. Time to take a pause from the flood of new information and let the neurons in your brain shop around for new connections and to prune the connections that have not proven useful or been superseded.
One of my favorite stress reducers is humor. If you have a favorite movie or TV show that always makes you laugh, this would be a good time to watch it.
