Things to do other than Call

<< < (2/2)

This is a wonderful idea. Things I did to stop calling......1. Adding up what I spent calling for BS stories.  2. Remembering that I still have a life to live and I was wasting time on the phone to psychics. 3. Making improvements to my home, like a new hot tub, which will be finished very soon. 4. Noticing that with the money saved and not spent on psychics, I could have a great steak meal or go out more often instead of sitting at home being miserable. 5. Spending more time with my sons, enjoying movies or cooking or just great conversations. 6.Planning my flower garden for the springtime and also my veggie garden. 7.More time for real friends and for helping anyone that is in need of some sort of help, whether it be getting through the loss of a family member or just needing a ride to the grocery store. 8. Spending more time on ME. Taking care of myself with regular pedicures and manicures, I do it myself but it still makes me feel good. Daily lotioning of my body, which I had really ignored cause I was so busy looking up new psychics. And also just taking better care of my house and the cleaning. Amazing how you can fall behind in the daily things when youre so obsessed with finding the "right" psychic.
Good luck to all and enjoy your day.

I gotta tell you, I failed on this miserably the past two winters. Even shaving, I'd think hell it's winter and I'm not wearing shorts, who cares? Now I look at my hands (after investing in top notch stuff I love) and think they look too wrinkled for my age and wonder if I damaged them by neglecting them and the rest of my body during that time.

The stupid thing was that for teh 3 months before he stopped talking to me, I had gotten super organized in my house and life and felt more together than I had in years. The fact I allowed this man to take over my emotions so much really upsets me.

As far as not calling, I had a friend I used to email a lot but she whigged on me last summer and I just couldn't deal with it anymore. The things she said were just completely toxic and I realized I didn't need to deal with that on top of everything else. So after that, when I got the urges to call or when "something would happen" and I felt like I needed an explanation, I'd just sit back for a day or so and usually I'd calm down. Or his mom would call and just spit something out that explained it all lol

As more than one psychic told me, I have the answers within me. I just needed to be ready to move on in my own time.

@wish. I am glad that Dr. Donna's blogs resonate with you and have been helpful. Adding up how much I spent literally left me feeling sick to my stomach. Keen only lets you see back a year worth of transactions so what I counted up wasn't even all of it because I had been getting readings so long. They took what seemed like forever (4 days lol) to close my account too and then had the nerve to email me saying they hope that I will be able to use their services in the future, umm no thanks haha.

@4ever. That is so true how much I neglected myself and my surroundings. I love cooking and I was to the point where I would just pick up fast food or eat a microwave dinner instead of taking the time to make a nutritious meal because I was waiting by the phone for a callback, heaven forbid I have to get back in line after waiting three days because I was busy cooking and I needed to talk to Sincerity as soon as possible. I was a mess! And don't get me started on my cuticles, lets just say there was nothing cute about them lol.

melancholia:
After going on several frenzies and undoubtedly pushing things way back, I've been avoiding doing too much calling, sticking with just Nancy and Seha on occasion (she's made some big, significant predictions for me, though I know she hasn't worked for others).  Ideally, I might be able to disengage from the psychics completely, and wouldn't that be grand?

In the meanwhile, to keep my mind off of everything, I decided I should take up a new instrument.  I already play the clarinet and that's been helpful too, but there's something about working through the frustrations of getting the hang of a brand new instrument that keeps you from thinking about anything else.

...So I got a $5 recorder.  It sounds silly (and I felt kind of silly at the time), but it's actually been pretty effective.  It's much harder than I thought to keep your tone consistent playing it, very unlike the clarinet where the reed does a lot of the work for you.  Not so with this freaking piece of plastic that even ELEMENTARY school kids can play.

i've also found that coloring (like coloring books - I'm very serious) helps too. Now, don't get me wrong - I am not going the little kid route of my own volition; I picked up the recorder initially to learn enough so when my niece is a little older I can teach it to her before we start working on the piano and clarinet, and the coloring is just something we do together, but even if I partake of these activities solo I've found it helps tremendously.

...I feel a little silly now, but then sometimes doing silly things is what makes you feel better.  I plan on trying to get her to start playing with bubbles next weekend - I wonder if that will be another breakthrough.  ;D
