Congratulations Nic! Good Job, I'm so glad the list worked even if just having it ready gave you a better focus (keep it for a rainy day). Next space, this evening:

Some idea's:

1. Light scented candles all through the house.
2. Get into your cozy clothes.
3. Some light music or tv on low volume. (voices so you are not alone)
4. Choose an activity that will make you focus a little but not stress you?
jigsaw puzzle, crossword, sudoko, writing poetry, painting, taking care
of your indoor plants, cleaning, writing some letters or cards to
people, making lists of things to do, a bubblebath ????
5. Snacks: chocolate, tea, baby carrots and dip, popcorn, cheese and
crackers, comfort foods?
6. One project that always is fun for me and keeps me moving forward is to
cut things out of magazines for a poster collage or my "me" book. My
"me" book is a notebook of pages, each with a focus on a topic, that is
visual images and phrases about the topic - EX: Calming or soothing
thoughts or images, glued on the page - candle, running water, ocean
scenes, sunsets, canoeing, pine trees, green wooded areas, someone
napping, a snuggly blanket,pet pictures, chocolate, fruit, cut out words,
relax, soothe, rejuvinate, aroma therapy, massage, sleep, ... OK you get
the idea.

So, if you have any old magazines, pick up the scissors and a large envelope or folder and start clipping and cutting randomly choosing things you like that catch your eye or thoughts. It usually gives me a big boost. I do this usually in two stages, cutting out party and then glueing night.

GOOD LUCK! My thoughts are with you.
