My tools are ETS, morning cold showers, late-night hot tubs, and loud music that makes me feel like dancing, and then I dance. Reading and nature walks...gathering stones, herbs, seeds, dead bugs, and sticks. Gardening and drawing. And oddly...I decided last week to read a book on near-death experiences. Oddly, all my children raised an eyebrow, and my husband balked at me. I, however, am enjoying it, and weirdly...it helps me. I guess for the perspective. The act of remembering what I have to be grateful for also helps ground me. My Dad's favorite thing to tell me was to "Keep your head held high and keep moving forward." I always responded, "Yeah, Dad...and then I trip on the sidewalk!" He always replied, "You have to roll with it then." The ole tuck and roll...
These are my daily affirmations that I read from my calendar reminders each morning.
The first one I borrowed from Dr. Daniel Amen.
I am smart. I am secure. I am safe. I am kind. I am worthy. Today is going to be a great day.
I hear you. I see you. I celebrate you. I acknowledge you for who you are. You are important. You are worthy of great things. You are lovable. You can be who you really are. You are strong. You can do this. I love you!!!
You are not sick. Your symptoms are messages. Your body is speaking to you. Feel it... Listen to it. Make the changes it's asking for. Thank it daily.
It's happening!
In the last month, I have renewed my good health journey by engaging a highly trained functional medicine doctor to drill down to what is really happening now in my body and get a handle on these symptoms. It's expensive but I am worth it. My health is worth it. The VA and Medicare does not - or will not - address these things. I've asked many times and gotten alternative help or no help! I want to have the energy and vitality to continue to do what I want in this life. I have found out I don't have a lot of serious things happening and it's going to be on me to make the changes needed. I'm ready! The last six or seven years have contributed to these issues. Moving Forward!
To be 100% honest- my normal tips and tricks aren’t working lately. I usually remind myself that I can only control myself and the things that directly impacting my life, but because I feel so connected to the world it’s not working. Ben keeps telling me to stop watching things, but I can’t, I just can’t turn away from everything that’s happening. My life feels paralyzed in the moment, the fight,flight, freeze effect is real right now. And maybe that’s ok, maybe it’s ok to not move and to let the ground move instead. Maybe it’s time to get quiet and listen and that’s why I feel paralyzed? I don’t know. Every single thing feels too big and I feel so very small.
There’s no rules that say you have to do anything. Just be present to exactly where you’re at and love yourself that’s really it I feel you and appreciate you.
