antlers & Gima: "Man, you are the only one who can make yourself happy! If you've lost sight of this fact, then you need to identify ways to refocus your attention and energy onto yourself."
You guys have hit the nail right on the head. I have lost sight of this fact. Maybe I have never fully embraced it ever in my life.
What are some of the things that you folks have done to refocus energy and attention onto yoruself? Please share. I've gotten back into exercise and joined a social club. Maybe I'm expecting too much too soon in terms of getting over her..
I've been playing co-ed softball, I've been doing more things with friends, I've been exercising...I've lost 90 pounds. I've been riding my bike regularly, anywhere from 10 to 50 miles...so far. I'm jumping rope too. I've been working in my flower beds and yard. I've been focusing more on my kids and my job. I've taken the kids on some nice vacations. I'm reading more too. It takes time...longer than you want it to, but you have to learn to be happy with yourself, first and foremost. You are expecting too much, too soon.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
