Reverse To-Do List

[hopinforhappy]

So I got some wonderful words of wisdom yesterday from my counselor.  I am going to pass it on hoping it may help even one person.  Mornings are my hardest time.  I feel like if I could get through the morning without Lortab, I can make it through the day.  Today is day 8.  It has been hard.  I lay in bed in the morning and get overwhelmed when I think about all the things I need to do.  My counselor told me, instead of doing a "to-do" list and then getting overwhelmed, write down things after you accomplish them.  I find that I want to continue adding things to my list so I do more.  My body aches, I just want to lay in bed but I can look at my list, see all that I have done and think to myself, I can do one more thing.  As I looked back over yesterdays list, I find that I accomplished much more TODAY.  This gives me hope for tomorrow.  Hope this helps!
