Bill Says: (A Blog About Recovery): OURSELVES:

What does it mean to take care of
myself emotionally? I recognize when
I'm feeling angry, and I accept that
feeling without shame or blame.

I allow myself to feel happiness, joy,
and love when those emotions are

available. Taking care of myself means
I've made a decision that it's okay to

feel.

Taking care of my emotions means I
allow myself to stay with the feeling
until it's time to release it and go on to
the next one.

I recognize that sometimes my feelings
can help point me toward reality, but

sometimes my feelings are deceptive.
They are important, but I do not have
to let them control me. I can feel, and
think too.

I reach out for help or guidance if I get
stuck in a particular emotion.

I'm open to the lessons my emotions
may be trying to teach me. After I feel,

accept, and release the feeling, I ask
myself what it is I want or need to do

to take care of myself.

Taking care of myself emotionally
means I value, treasure, explore, and

cherish the emotional part of myself.
