This day where I should make dinner lists for my diabetes, has become some sort of a "I don't want to do anything" day. I was a good cook once, but now with the high food prices and my small kitchen it feels like I have become some sort of a statue, just sitting here with lack of motivation. I think some of the "statue feeling" is a result of many May celebrations and few days with a proper structure. So I ask myself if there is some way of making "the statue" to move and I do the STOPP exercises. Stop - Take a breath - Observe (what are you thinking) : "I am stupid that let the morning hours get into nothing" - Pull back (Is there another way to think about this / what would other people say about this?) : "Yes, I am not stupid because I feel a bit down because of the food prices" / "Don't be so hard on yourself"- Practice what works : "I can solve the problem by putting it into parts: 1) I need to dress 2) I need to go to the basement and fetch some good brown bread from the freezer. I can make an omelet for dinner with slices of bread and butter". (Butter is too fat, but not forbidden, brown bread and eggs are OK for diabetes = 95% diabetes dinner). 3) Rest for half an hour after dinner while watching Netflix. 4) I need to de-clutter the living room so I have a nice room around me while making decisions tomorrow. I will do that in parts of 15 minutes at a time so I don't feel overburdened."

Yay!!! Particular problem for today is solved. I will start NOW!
