Doingthework

Today was a wonderful day—-too wonderful??? As with everyday, I strapped on my tool belt, extra mindful of healthy barriers, extra mindful to act like ME. I felt focused, peaceful, content. A strong emotional surge, even a positive one, can feel overwhelming and scary to me; processing happiness, accepting that it is real and is a result of #Doingthework 24/7, —- I feel a strong need to practice #Mindfulness ; breathe; stroke the silky soft fur on my dog’s ears. (That truly helps).
I am incredibly grateful and blessed to have had today’s experience of feeling totally ok with ME! I can’t now terrify myself with “what will tomorrow be like? Is today a fluke? Will I plummet?” Well, tomorrow morn I’ll strap on my tool belt, tackle the day and know that I truly trust myself to shoot for what’s best/healthiest for me. Can anyone relate?
Much love to all of you Mighties!

“I think it’s brave that you get up in the morning even if your soul is weary and your bones ache for rest. I think it’s brave that you keep on living even if you don’t know how to anymore. I think it’s brave that you push away the waves rolling in every day and you decide to fight. I know there are days when you feel like giving up, but I think it’s brave you never do.”

I recommend Natalie Gutierrez’s Instagram account. She’s a trauma specialist, with an emphasis on polyvagal theory. I find her very comforting and gently educational.
