My Recipe for healing (warning its a bit girlie!)

SadScot · 12-19-2006, 12:13 PM

So I leave for good tomorrow to a new life, new place, no man in my life. Anticipating a rough ride, so everytime I see something or think of something that might distract me/cheer me up, I make a note of it. Here's my plan of action. Basically anything goes as long as you can afford it and it wont hurt anyone or break the law.

1) Buy Desperate Housewives DVD

2) Buy lots of good food to cook

3) See my friends as much as possible (they all have young children so they are always pleased to have adults around)

4)I've joined a silversmithing class with one of my oldest friends which starts in the new year (((yay!)))

5) At least once a week go somewhere posh to eat - even if its just soup! There is nothing like someone waiting on you to take your mind off your woes (hey maybe I'm shallow but it works for me!).

6)At least once a week do something to pamper yourself ie a sauna or a manicure (see above)

7) At least once a week do something fitness related - swimming/yoga/exercise class.

Make a date with a friend to see a movie. I want to see "The Holiday" and "Perfume" when it comes out. And I'm definitely up for seeing "Casino royale" on my own if need be!

9)Go for counselling so I have someone non-judgemental to talk to about my issues and depression.

10) Start giving a few hours of my time in volunteer work. It will take me out of myself and give me perspective.

11)I will NOT go anywhere the Ex might be and I will NOT send that friendly "How ya doin?" email.

I suppose I'm basically planning to treat myself as well as I can. Its a plan right?

Wow...that looks very similar to the plan I'd implement post-break-up.

It always worked for me.
