Hello.Thanks for checking in. Yes I've been thinking about it all day and going back to basics, the old what were you doing when things are going good. I realized that two things might be the cause. And they are both me. I used to drink a lot. Never thought it was a lot but now that I've quite I realize it was a lot. When I have a glass or two of wine at night I notice I am cranky the next day. So I quite that. The other is jogging. I was putting in about five miles a day 6 days a week. I jog with my dog. My dogs leg has been hurt and the weather has been miserable so I haven't jogged in over a week. I'm thinking that when I jog I keep myself centered. I get my thinking done and clear my head. By being more centered I am able to not be affected by the little stresses.
It's a theory. But I think I was getting really good at letting things roll off my back.
My wife and I are extremely sensitive to each other. We really sense each others moods and I think we easily fall back into the negative patterns even though we have mostly corrected them.
Yes things are way better. I was a mess if you go back to my first thread. Things were a mess. This has been a long road but we are getting close I think.
