It's been really hard maintaining this new schedule. I haven't mastered going to bed at an early time yet. I've been doing good in the morning, though. Getting up early - by 7:30am every day so far. I think I'll adjust my schedule a bit. Let's see it works.
Get up 7:30am
Breakfast 8am
Morning Meds 9am
Lunch 12pm
Dinner 5pm
Evening Meds 8:30pm
Go to bed 11pm
I've been going out in the morning and getting a big dose of morning sunlight, trying to reset my internal clock. I feel a jolt every morning after doing it. It's like morning coffee, actually. Maybe it's the Goddess and the God welcoming me and telling me good morning.
I'm working on constructing morning and evening rituals to help me get up and go to bed. As you can see, I've got part of the morning one done. Now I just need a evening one. Too bad I don't have a tub anymore. I'd work that in easily. If anyone has any ideas that I could use, please don't hesitate to post them in a comment. I sure would appreciate it. :-)
Another thing I'm working on is a book of things to remember about my bipolar. Things to help, basically all the stuff I know when things are good but forget when things are bad. It's in the planning stages right now, however. Any ideas for that would be appreciated as well. :-)
I'm feeling pretty good. Isn't it amazing what sleep and structure do for you?

Not that I'd know, but perhaps a good evening ritual would be taking a very deep breath....hold it...hold it...hold it....(all the while collecting all that angers, confuses, and distracts you).....and release it. It's not yours to keep anyway. Sometimes you have to look at life as +'s and -'s. Visualization can add lines to -'s to make +'s.
Nature has revitalized itself for billions of years.
Um...not that I'd know.
Good luck!
