Most definitely. I have started a spiritual practice called "A Course In Miracles". I mediate/pray and I am working hard at getting back to me. As I said I allowed my fear/ anxiety to take over. I spend about 2.5/3 hours a day reflecting and working on seeking inner happiness and balance rather than running to find ig externally.
Since I am less stressed, I am not eating to anestitize my feelings and I have actually lost 10lbs. Wooohooo!
I consider school GAL as well, as with or without him, my degree is invaluable to me. I always told myself I wasn't good enough to go to college.
As part of the course in miracles and Gabby's "May Cause Miracles"... I have been working self care anyway. A relaxing shower each day, a little makeup in the am (for me), things that make me feel good without being destructive or unhealthy.
I did see light from him yesterday, we went down to the store for groceries and he held my hand in the car ( this never happens). He also said he was proud of me and the last couple of weeks he has noticed a big change in me, he said he feels hopeful.
