RLS: month of January..ne

[Guest guest]

ne...

You commented on how it might just be " the month of January " that's the

problem. It reminded me of one year when I started realizing that each

month of the year brought it's own unique " character " or prompted certain

reactions or behaviors from me. That year, I started with November (the

month where I started feeling the pressures of the holidays coming, and how

overloaded and over volunteered I was). I labelled it, " NO, in NOVEMBER " .

I promised myself that during November, I'd say " NO " to anything that took

more time from me.

DECEMBER was " Delegate in December " . That became my month to remember to

get someone else to do it, if at all possible.

JANUARY...which had become my depression month for several years in a row,

became " ReJUVENATE in JANUARY " . It became my month to take care of ME, my

health, my body, my spirituality, and my emotions. The timing was perfect,

coming after two months of doing everything for everyone else.

FEBRUARY....this was tension month, because by February I was confronted

with all the paperwork I never organized in the year before, the build up

of the new year's papers, etc. So, it became " FILE in FEBRUARY " . It was

my paperwork month.

I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to know that those are the only months I

figured out. LOL But you get the idea. If you have some times of the year

that are traditionally awful for you (and probably are also times when your

RLS is the worst), you might do well to sit back and think of a way to

change what goes on in those months. Maybe this trick will help.
