Skills Group Community Group
This group is for those who wish to recover or improve their life, coping abilities, distress tolerance or emotions. Each month I will select a topic, and information will be provide on that topic with activities to work through designed to engage you or aid in your recovery. The point will be to try the exercises and then we can discuss what works and what does not work...
Hello! Sorry I've been non-responsive of late. Big health crisis in my family for several weeks. It involved me with my medical PTSD having to be in hospitals *every day*. Basically, I have nightmares of that.
So after the first few days, I stopped using PRN meds and started my New Mantra.
As I breathe in on a count to the syllables...
"I know I can do it"
and as I hold the breath
"Because I already have"
then out on "I know I can do it"
hold gently on "Because I already have"
I keep doing that until the combo of the mantra and hte breathing steady me. Wanted ot share, in case it helps anyone else:-)

Love it Leo, will be using it as well. Thank you for sharing it. It also sounds like a good confidence booster as well.
Sorry I have not been around for the month of June. I am working now and struggling to find some balance. It is only 2 days a week but they are back to back and I am exhausted by days end. Now because I am working, I am packing more into the other days which is causing my knee pain and fibro to flare. Again exhausting me. However, work is going well. I feel comfortable and at home in the new job. It is a very laid back place to work. The girl who works the other 3 days quit, so I can see this becoming a full time job soon. Not sure I am ready for that. I was hoping to work up to that.
Leo, take care, keep up the good work and thanks for reminding me to find time to work in some relaxing routines into my day both at work and at home. I think that will help ground me and balance me.
It just popped up?
Hugs and more. J.
