Hi Gmum, I came by to read your thread and say hello. How are you faring? How do you relieve the stress this situation creates? I started exercising again.
Hmmm.... I read a lot of posts here and try to take in as much as possible of the vets advice. I think of something Mahhty told me, that my H/OW don't have the power to make me miserable, only I do based on how I interpret my surroundings. I mediate, sometimes every day, sometimes with days in between but as much as possible. I write down things that make me grateful every day, I often include the people on this board. I listen to music. I listen to podcasts, some times for entertainment, sometime podcasts that pertain to areas where I need to smarten up i.e finacial matters. I care about what I eat. I try to be more patient. I look up at the sky and tell myself that even though going through this feels like years of hell, it is only a tiny blip in the history of the universe. I see my IC on a regular basis. I try to connect more with friends and make an effort to go visit people even if they are out of my way. Wiiiiine! I focus on all my good qualities. I am more forgiving, of myself and of others. I judge other people less. Hmmm.... I'm sure there's more, but I bet you stopped reading already haha.
I'm glad you're exercising. I think it's one of the best things we can do for ourselves even though I always have to drag myself out the door.
I think what you do sounds great. Your doing a lot of different things so it will stay interesting. I stopped meditation a few months ago. I think I will start up again. I exercise at home, I do 30 minutes on the running machine and sit ups. For now that's enough for me. Another goal is eat better and portion control. Hoping for Peace in your life
Arghh! Tomorrow is the first day back to the routine after the holiday break. I have to get up beyond early and of course I am wide awake. So typical. I'm not even particularly sad or upset, but this is just plain ol' annoying.
I've been looking through the MLC threads this morning, looking for inspiration and guidance. I found this little gem, and I'm going around sharing it with everyone I think it may be helpful to. Sometimes everything just gets to be too much, and I forget where I'm supposed to be focusing. It really helped me redefine where I want to go, and how I'm going to get there. I hope it helps you a bit, too.

These principals can be used in all facets of ones life. When used properly....they truly can change you from the INSIDE OUT.
(((Gmum))) I wanted to share a post I threw on my facebook page last month:
"A good man can make you feel sexy, strong, and able to take on the world...
Oh Sorry...
That's wine...
wine does that."

Tony Robbins says something like this.... Don't give up your happiness on stupid people or stupid things.
I need to mediate more and do some more yoga. I am not flexible...
