pardon, but that kind of activity is way over my head,,, i depend upon pattern recognition, present responsiveness, and a little voice from the Friendly Universe to get by, and it works for me as well as all that listing and scheduling that you suggest.
@GustyOne4U
Glad to hear that pattern recognition is helping you. Having our list and items that we do on our calendar helps us a lot to cope also.
1. Wake up at 7:30
2. Meditate
3. Gym
Reward-afternoon tea
@Zengrl
That sounds like a great plan. I also like the tea reward that you do.
Just stopping in to say have a great day everyone!
@Jill7cups
Hope you have a great day also.
i just wanna go back to bed this morning, but i would just lay there awake, so might as well go thru my messages, and maybe play a little Hidden Objects~ 
@GustyOne4U
Is that because the bed is nice and warm or did you just wake up to early? I know that is how I felt that I didn't want to get cold this morning. Going through messages and playing games are good coping skills to have.
@DanaMH
yes, Dana, for some reason i am only sleeping 3 or 4 hrs at a time. (and here i was, just getting used to a 6 hr. night~) 
@GustyOne4U
I know how that is. I was loving all the sleep around the time I had my surgery for about a week and I am back the same way. Sorry that you aren't getting much sleep either.
Feeling overwhelmed today & stressed. I hate days that are not my own!
@lightSpring6347
feeling like you are at the mercy of outside forces that you cannot control takes a LOT of Mindfulness, lightSpring~! Best Wishes! 
Just got done my run. Looking forward to tea.
@Zengrl
what a lovely way to do Self-Care, Zengrl~! enjoy the tea, maybe treat yourelf to a cookie? 
@GustyOne4U Thanks for the temptation Gusty 😀
