Hello, a new kid on the block here For me the chaos in my home is closely intertwined with the chaos in my head, so for me the treating myself with kindness thread seemed the best way to introduce myself. It is a cold and drab afternoon here in the Midlands so a session at the local sauna seemed the perfect way to give myself a boost. My forum name sums things up I've been in my house for more than a decade and slowly over time the amount of stuff I've accumulated has grown, meanwhile my organizational skills are * ! * ! * ! I don't want to spend another decade like this. of half tidying getting messy again in a never ending circle. I know that gaining back control of my life, both in terms of my home environment, and my mood in a long term venture. .. so I figure if I'm going to make it I have to have balance in my life, including time for the gym, for digging around on my allotment, for early nights with TV shows, for cooking myself some nice food, and many more ways to be kind to myself, as well as continuing to declutterer, reorganise, and hopefully learn to get into the habits that "normal" people have of achieving everyday chores. Speaking of chores it's back to the kitchen, slow progress, but now I have clean windows, and the net curtains are rinsed out. Time to face whatever is lurking behind the cooker, . OK the dancing elephant is a bit random but I'm enjoying the choice of smilies on here. Plus I'm crossing my fingers that the weather will be dry tomorrow, as I want to spend a few hours at the local safari park, I've promised myself that I will get in some chores first before I head down there though. I have the week off and want to make the most of it.

I've just dashed upstairs to treat myself to a second profiterole.. well that's this evening's treating myself with kindness But if I'm honest I have not been thinking kind thoughts to myself today. Yesterday after work very little got done here... ... And to be honest I'm feeling an unhealthy need to "get back IN CONTROL." Yes I know some self-compassion is needed. Part of me wants to be up till midnight making up for it, but I know I need to be sensible, it's 6.30 here, someone give me a nudge in three hours to be a good girl and curl up with a bedtime book. =_=
