@AuntGlow I had to embrace Yoda psychology, “Don’t try. Do”.
I have to physically do the new thing, until my brain 🧠 caught up.
Over-writing neural pathways is extremely tiring.
But the change has been well worth it.
Go with your good-self AG ☺️

Nice one @AuntGlow 🙌, you always create very thought provoking intentions, I love them! Thanks!
Ahh still haven’t made a start on the mind map, I did buy the fluro paper though 😂. Just been staring at the paper knowing it will require a lot of mental effort 😜
however, interestingly once I said I wanted to do the mind map and ‘called out’ where all my thoughts were - plus, needing to track results/ a list of stuff to get done, I have become a lot more settled with them. Perhaps they are just in a box waiting to be sorted rather than them all coming at me or they have finally moved to a different part of my brain rather than the endless circuit that loops and won’t process 😊
Even though I feel a bit better I would still like to attempt this mind map!
yesss loving the gym now, I am starting to look forward to my sessions now. Think I am nearly ready for group classes soon 🤔
The new shoes help too 😊
I was so surprised re the acupuncture, went from immensely elevated to calm. It was quite a noticeable change! (But yeah don’t try it on a day you want to be productive 🤣 is my only little tip lol)
it was a bit challenging just lying there for 20min, a part of me not sure I like just resting there or if I’d prefer remedial or deep tissue massage. But think I’ll go back soon!

@AuntGlow Good morning beautiful. How are you today? What plans if any do you have.
The tapering is very hard. Today I just had another drop in my medication. I’m scared about how the withdrawals will be considering it has been so brutal so far. I don’t know how to handle this. I’m worried. I really am trying hard but the withdrawals are beyond rough.

@AuntGlow I am still simply at just
SHOWING UP
as my intention
Just doing that has been tenuous with the level of suicidal ideation I struggle with. Though this week is better that the few before.
my new support worker today got confused in his diary and didnt show up. Lets hope its not indicative of how it will go in the future.
I have made all sorts of promises and "contracts" to myself about values and commitments in life. It is partly how I have spurned myself on despite many obstacles.
I did divorce but even the Catholic church accepted it was difficult circumstances and gave me an annulment., as they said I was not free (dealing with too much grief and trauma) to be able to make the marriage contract at the time. Only tried once.
I went with a church girfriend to a sewing group. I an really justify sewing anymore, my eyes arent good enough for threading needles, my neck seizes up. I have done a lot of sewing in my life, historically like all good girls.
@Chasingsunsets @ENKELI @Glisten @Cuddlebear @heartathome @AlwaysMyself @GezzaP @DownMoreThanUp @Shaz51 @Bunniekins @PeppyPatti @outlander @StuF @Meowmy and all interested and reading along ....

So like reading your posts @Appleblossom
I feel like I’m a stumbling woman trying to learn how to wind down.

@Glisten again, we share a brain.
My mantra when I had the Godkids was "Is not do. Is try." Ex friend even managed to get me a cardboard Yoda from Woollies (she works there) for me as well as Yoda socks.
Never have I had so much in common with someone. You're the best friend I've never met!
How are you going Tomaatti? I hear you've been busy. Are you still doing the one day a week as a groundskeeper/gardener/allaroundamazeballs person? 🍅💌
I am getting intermittent issues with the forum, I thought it was my intorwebs at first but the slow loading only occurs on Sane. Poor Sane, we are really pushing those hamsters!
I passed up on the job interview for SCT. As soon as the recruiter messaged on Friday I got anxiety. I felt better on Saturday and replied that I would attend.
This morning the anxiety kicked in to overdrive and I have learned to accept it is my inner alarm letting me know that it is not a good idea. I have only ever had anxiety over a job interview once before and I also passed up on that interview. Later on I found out that I had dodged a bullet so I am thinking it's the same with this one.
Intorwebs In Perth!
