A NEW WAY TO DEAL
For pretty much as long as I can remember, I've always been someone that gets attention from someone else when the person I want attention from isn't giving it to me. Right now it is interesting for me because a lot of times in my past that would be sexual attention. Now, because I am choosing to not have sex, what do I do when I want attention and the person I want it from isn't being very giving? Keep in mind, I'm not talking about in a relationship, I don't run off to someone else the second I don't get what I want when actually dating. Sadly, my usual go to as something to make myself feel better about myself is sex. I think that's safe to say for a lot of people, but it is something I'm aware of that I do. It's also something I'm aware of that I'm trying to change. So, the question comes up now, where do I go now when I need to feel better about myself and I'm not using sex, alcohol, or weed? After a long conversation on the phone with a close friend, he simply pointed out, "why don't you do something for yourself instead of doing something for someone else?" DUH! This is actually something that I learned a long LONG long time ago and it some how escaped me.
GOAL for tomorrow- do something special for myself.
