A Mighty Together EASY Game That Needs All Of Us To Work 🤗 👋 🎤🎶🎧 #DistractMe #MightyTogether #MentalHealth #CheckInWithMe

Simply remember or find/Google/ask Alexa or Siri……a line or part of a line from a song or a song title that was written for Empowering all of us.

You are welcome to add in even just one. This is easy because it is not even your words that you are adding in or articulating. The words have been given to us.

For example: I often think of this part of line from a song: “I am going to dance on broken glass.”

And this part song title, part of a line of the lyrics:
“Better Days are coming, if no one told you.”

And this longer one section of another great song:
“DON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK THAT I COULD BE;
I'M THE ONE AT THE SAIL
I'M THE MASTER OF MY SEA.”

And this small section of a song that I hold close to my heart:
“Just remember who you are; how you were never one for folding; how you never liked the corner; how the dark don’t even know you.”

Let’s Go Big on this one.

Let’s make this a holiday gift you can give for free that could be exactly what Many others need Right Now.

This ties in with the image I chose for this because we are going to be taking inspiration from Christopher Reeve aka Superman in the 1978 film who famously said "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles".

So, I say YOU are a hero.

One of our Mighty family with a boatload of reasons to question this quote and anything, just a couple days ago, found, and in a way, smartly challenged my about 4 months old post with Christopher Reeve’s other famous quote “Once you choose hope, anything is possible.”

So, if you know anything about me, you know I accepted this challenge to help her and to help even more of us.

So I went to work for all of us— researching and drafting an impactful reply (and I can at times put hours into this work for all of us.)
Because YOU are worth fighting for.

So, I researched how he could say these profoundly optimistic and empowering statements when he, Christopher Reeve, a former role model to the world as Superman, was paralyzed from the neck down after a horse riding accident at age 42. His mother wanted doctors to remove his life support, because she thought that he wouldn’t want to live like this, but he fought back.

So the meaning to his quote about HOPE is: Hope, in this sense, is a decision. It is the most important decision we can make.

This choice of Hope also is not just wishful thinking, it has to be rooted in a Believing, it must be in the form of Optimism, and it must be held together by handing it over to a trust in ourselves, a trust in the universe having our back, to any form of spirituality that does not even need to be religion based faith.

Absolutely Right Now, All of Our Mighty Family Needs help with feeling Empowered to be Hopeful and Optimistic And YOU can be a hero and participate in this mission that is greater than all of us, greater than our own social anxieties, greater than our own fears and doubts, greater than our fatigue…

Whenever you see this post, especially through the rest of the entire holidays —All of them coming up for all denominations and through and past New Years…add in a line or part of a line from a song, or a song title, that was written for Empowering all of us. That was written to speak to all of us. To Connect All of Us.

GAME ON.

GAME FACE.

YOUR friend in this hard thing called life,
Dawn

A Million Different Meanings

I grieved the loss of many health issues and constraints, my two kids’ neurodivergence, and mom’s Alzheimer’s. However, I found my happy again by reframing my thoughts and celebrating who and what is. I dream differently now. Don’t put undue guilt, shame or expectations on your body. It’s a journey that only the strong and courageous could make it through!

Boundaries

I am new to this group and need it now. Growing up I was always told, "your too sensivite" if I'm crying, "get back to bed" . I was a good girl when growing up made terrible choices by not following my own intuition and always ended up disastrous even if I passed the tests set by myself or felt from others. I never had boundaries and was like a chameleon with people. Then I would make impulsive mistakes only to retreat and isolate that I would come out like a new person ready to change into new styles.
I have read tons of self help books on how to stop being like a sponge and taking in others energies and used different techniques.
I chose to study being a counsellor as they taught me that, "your sensivite is a gift" I was a good listener and found it easier bring around those in need. Iearned lots of skills and knowledge.

It is 15 years later and I find that I still struggle with boundaries. I am good at what I do workwise but it can still physically and mentally exhaust me that all I can do is sleep. Losing my self, contact with significant others, basically self care of all the good stuff.
After 6 months or do I just "stop functioning' and my body fails me then too.
In the restful but painful times, I slowly start seeing those that matter, pick up my hobbies and enjoy the positive energy. It's not all sunshine and roses but life is manageable.
I love what I do, but how can I find, feel and know about boundaries to keep me and the clients well?
I have looked at other jobs but don't have the energy at present or confidence to pursue further.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks #highlysensitiveperon #Undiagnosed #AutoimmuneThyroidDisease #Depression #Anxiety

Christmas???

Christmas. I'm not ready. Lost my best friend and Mom this year. My narcissistic sisters have caused me to lose all of my nieces and nephews, over stupid $ and her lies to them about me. The folks left us some land and she is not being reasonable. She'd rather leave her kids a legacy of debt than just simply share. Ugh. I have my husband (he's pretty great, deserves better) my 2 girls live 4hrs by car away but I'm not feeling festive. Grateful for my new job, at least that's something, right. #Fibromyalgia #Depression #Arthritis #ChronicFatigue #AutoimmuneThyroidDisease

Jigsaw puzzles app.

I’ve recently started doing jigsaw puzzles on an app on my iPad. Anyone else do these? They are a fun and fantastic distraction while in bed!
Hope you are having a good day, Beddies! I wish you good days ahead and lots of reasons to smile

You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes…you get what you need

I asked the universe for a motorcycle this year, and they gave me a wheelchair instead 🦽

Grateful I can get to the bathroom on my own now with the help of new wheels
