LOL Yeah! that's my story and I'm sticking to it
The other day I posted a lot of questions and yes...some were very personal I know...but I hope you took the time to read them. When I shared the questions, I got a lot of feedback and one message in particular stood out for me...and it came with some questions of it's own....
What do you do when....
See? as I said there were even more questions...and I bet if you were to take some time, you could come up with a few of your own. (hint...take the time now okay and make your own list) The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves. The worst verbal abuse comes from our own tongue. The most negative influence is the devil on our own shoulder. The cruelest judge is the one staring back in the mirror. The person really withholding the love you need is you. No one will ever out-do you at playing mind-games. You must stop doing this to yourself! The universe is calling you to heal, not to agonize over your mistakes. Quit overthinking; this is what surrendering really means. Don't focus on negativity and don't even obsess about "fixing" things or yourself. Don't force "positive thinking." These things can be psychological irritants. Just leave yourself alone! When you pick at things they never heal. Just relax and give yourself some time. ~~Bryant McGill~~ Picture taken after a winter storm last year I'd like to take some time to ask you some questions. I do realize that these are some pretty personal and even intrusive questions, but I hope you'll give them a look and take some time to answer them.
Now that you're living life with a chronic illness whether it's mental or physical...what do you do when...
I found this on-line today (original source unknown) and thought it something to share here. Some people think that just because it's the holidays, and just because they're feeling the "happy holiday feelings"...that everyone else is too...but that's not always true. Truth is...not everyone has a big "happy" family. Truth is...some people find the holidays very hard. Truth is...the holidays are just something some people struggle to get through and can't wait for it to be over. Truth is...some people will be alone this holiday season. Truth is...some people will experience their "symptoms" even more during the holidays. The holidays can bring many feelings and emotions with it and I ask that you give some thought to this this holiday season. Check on your loved ones, the neighbours you know are alone, be kind to one another as we're all doing just doing the best we can. If you're struggling during the holidays...what can and what will you do for you to help you through it? (hint: make some of your coping skills portable so you can take them with you when you're having family time) please take good care of you Feel what you feel and allow it to pass. Don't judge your feelings or yourself for having them. Do not label your feelings good or bad, right or wrong. Drop your hands to your sides and give yourself permission to ride out the emotional tidal waves that are sure to surface every now and then. Each time an emotion surfaces, this is a sure sign that you are working through it in order to release it. ~~Iyanla Vanzant~~ Picture taken by my daughter Emily Before we get to the medication I need to remind you...
For this installment, I have chosen Linzess Uses This medication is used to treat anxiety. It may help you think more clearly, relax, worry less, and take part in everyday life. It may also help you to feel less jittery and irritable, and may control symptoms such as trouble sleeping, sweating, and pounding heartbeat. Buspirone is a medication for anxiety (anxiolytic) that works by affecting certain natural substances in the brain (neurotransmitters). **Please read this information carefully** If you have any questions about what is provided here....talk with your doctor or pharmacist please. Say to yourself...NEVER AGAIN!! Never again will I find myself in this situation, or beat myself up because of my past mistakes. NEVER AGAIN will I give up on my dream because of what someone else has said or because I've been rejected or experienced failure or a setback. NEVER AGAIN will I not give my all, go all out, or represent myself as a powerless weak victim because of some tragedy that I've experienced. NEVER AGAIN will I go back to a life, a lie, a relationship, or a situation that doesn't represent the best in me. I am better than this, bigger than this, stronger than this! Don't let a temporary situation cause you to make a permanent decision about your possibilities and your future. Keep pushing forward despite the odds or how you feel at the moment. Give out but don't give up! Dare to be GREAT!! You have GREATNESS within you! ~~Les Brown~~ Picture taken in Collingwood, ON |
