Enjoy a more present and meaningful interaction with other people (eg work colleagues)? Meaning I'm genuinely interested in what is going on in their lives and take time to listen.
Take time to do a few more things that are entirely for myself? Like, going to see things I know I will enjoy seeing. Maybe with others, but also definitely by myself? Things I know I will enjoy for sure, and maybe a couple of new things too? Make a list of these and do one or two a week.
Take time to enjoy being in my house, and take a little care of it. Like, I've started painting all the woodwork...
Take time to look after myself: regular sleep, regular time at home chilling out, making sure I look nice.
One thing I've noticed since he's left, is that the ever present, increasingly draining, existential angst that I have been clearly absorbing from him over the past almost 4 years isn't there any more. This time last year it was so bad, that it had started making me increasingly ill, physically. To the point in early December when I was completely physically incapacitated for a number of weeks, and was totally reliant on him to do even basic things for me.
The house is now very quiet, and that scares me. But it's also very still and peaceful.
