Bekindtoyourself

This is actually quite insightful. I need to remember this. I tend to get pretty down on myself. What are your thoughts?🥰

😂😂😂 this is definitely the reality when suffering with chronic pain , anxiety ,depression ,fatigue ,physical pain or just mentally struggling.
When you feel like you need a rest after just taking a shower because your so drained .....

It's the little things that seem so simple to others that can really take so much working upto actually doing & then struggling so much after doing it .

I am really struggling with getting used to the NEW me ! The reality if chronic pain & illness & struggling with the fact I am no longer rthe person I was before. I am no longer able to make plans in advance as I really do not know which way I will be when I wake up.Between the constant pain ,the fatigue,anxiety,restlessness,feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and trying to just get through a day it's just impossible. I no longer put pressure on myself for being unable to do this or feel guilty as I have enough going on without constantly putting myself down over things I CANT control.I am struggling at times though feeling frustrated that when I do things even someday just walking around the house or garden a little more I make my pain so much worse and with having this infection now over 3 months someday walking is just unbearable!!

I am struggling but I will keep trying and trying to be kind to myself and proud of myself if all I did was make it through another day 👌😊

Friend gave me these words today so I made this ❤️

Hi Mighties,
I would also like to share another page with you from same chapter: Shame and Its Accomplices by author (psychiatrist) Paul Conti in his book called 'Trauma The Invisible Epidemic How Trauma Works and How We Can Heal From It'

Referring to the following page attached:

-The first antidote reminds me of what I learnt in Mental Health course: Motivational interviewing - Miracle question

-The second last antidote you may have heard about Progressive Muscle Relaxation or also abbreviated as PMR - I have personally found this helpful and to add to this full body scan.

I understand the end of year can be overwhelming for some of us. I hope it is wrapping up as best as it can be.

I hope and pray for goodness and healing your way with whatever struggles you are currently experiencing right now. 🙏🏼🫶🏼 #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Bekindtoyourself #Selfcare #CheckInWithMe #DistractMe #MightyBookClub

How I'm feeling, crappy and disheartened

Quality over quantity
From now on, push aside the negativity energy and choose wisely. Is it worth the time, energy or effort to think about why.

I realise during this time the holidays are not always as festive and bright for others.
For every loss, there is something to learn from. An opportunity to reflect. Take courage and look ahead for the chance to grow. Life itself is a challenge and struggle. Here's hoping and wishing you will find peace and comfort in due time.

Hope your week is starting off as good as it can be.

Had the afternoon off, was very sluggish with my client on our morning walk earlier today.

Really hard to focus, felt light headed.
Feeling rundown. Partly due to the warm weather actually hitting us Just recently had an actual summer day in Melbourne.
So I got a blood test done and had a rest. Was nervous about whether or not I'd even gett my blood taken. I have difficult and faint veins...either my fault due to not drinking enough water prior or often cases being...not a very good phlebotomist/nurse.
So relieved after getting it done🫣😱🤗👌🏼 I found a lady who did it in one shot this day.

Things to unlearn for the week:
Putting others first

=

Putting yourself first

You have to earn rest

=

You need to rest

Self-reminders for the week^

This message resonates with me...
being a person who cares so much for others, often forget to give back that same care to our own selves.
Something to think about during this season.
