Goodists and overachievers, type A's fill the pages of TMS-Wiki and we are surprised that we work hard at recovery. Funny, really, when you think about it. I hope I never give a whole day to working at anything any more. This recovery process has taught me moderation - and consistency - in meditation, exercise, diet, emotional swings, sleep and staying away from over-exposure to the news. Self-regulation is my daily goal so that I may be of service to others, authentically.
There really is nothing TO DO. Though early on DOING the Schubiner workbook was helpful, certainly, as this program and the earlier one was. But in little chunks. Hell, I've been reading The Divided Mind for six or seven years now. I dip in, I get nourished, I recalibrate and try to stay out of the story of Poor Me and Despair which are a trance I cannot afford.
I hope that helps!
We have great threads here on relapse and relapse prevention. Bits and pieces of wisdom that the search engine can guide you to.
So glad we're here!
