I have a tendency to want to cancel my psychiatrist appointment when I’m feeling good. I’ve made a deal with myself to never cancel, because each appointment is like putting a penny in my emotional piggy bank, saving up for when I’m struggling and need to make a withdrawal. I must practice my program in all my affairs on good days and bad.

Today I wrote some questions to check in with myself on how I strengthen my sobriety and emotional well-being every day. Honestly, I think these apply to anyone on a path toward wholeness:

What do I do when no one’s looking?

Do I meditate when my mind is racing?

Do I pause and give thanks for gifted moments?

Do I reach out to others when I’m stuck in self?

Do I make room for change?

Am I steady and calm or chasing chaos?

Am I neglecting something I love?

What is feeding my behavior?

These questions are simple yet deeply impact my day. Wellness is grown in quiet consistency when no one’s watching.
