Having a tad difficult time in realizing I'm not coping well with my cycles. My mania versus 'down time' aren't as equal as I'd like them to be. I find I'm blaming myself more and more for the down time and attributing some of it to plain laziness on my part, even though I know it's not true. Sadly, the only means of that realization comes, for me, in taking that oh so needed shower.

Found out yesterday that in the shower if I just sit on the ledge and swing my legs like a kid - as my feet don't reach the shower floor - that it adds a plus mood to a somewhat blah atmosphere. I plan on using that new found tactic in the future. Show tune humming at the same time isn't a bad idea either.

Yesterday's plus -- finding a new zen moment if only for a very short time. Each one counts.
