Recovery Seeds for December 2010
Monday, December 13
We can all have bad days from time to time. There are times when we’re crabby, unreasonable, or irritable without even knowing why.
The next time you’re feeling frustrated and irritated with someone or something, consider kindly reminding yourself to “HALT”.
Are you:
- Hungry
- Angry
- Lonely or
- Tired ?
Part of your self care includes developing the ability to identify your needs. If you’re hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, do your best to change your condition. Grab a sandwich, or a nap … call a friend, or go to a support group. You’ll likely find a new perspective after giving yourself the attention you need and deserve.
In addition, to your own self-care, I’ve found that a gentle reminder to a loved one to check their self care in these areas, can sometimes diffuse a potentially difficult situation.

I’m wishing you wellness and tender, healing nourishment,
Take good care,
Jane

Nice! I´ve been really aware of the HALT for my daughter, but wasn´t checking MY own needs. Will take care of myself more.
