helpful things to me

the last journal entry was really important to me.


What I have also found today, is that when I notice this boundary caused


by need to 'knock on my mental door', I am learning the so important lesson


to give myself what I want and what I need as well.


Not just drilling down with the pressure of the need subjectively - but cognitively


saying to myself 'ok I am going to get that in my day'. And so I've made some plans.



As I rested today I also found my sense of weariness come on - and a lack of energy 


to do much... I am chocking it up to having worked a hard days work - and was needing


some downtime and rest to refresh and come back with a brighter outlook.


I was feeling really selfish and like I didn't have the energy to see beyond my own need.


I dismayed over that - but again it was probably because I was tired and


I discovered that I needed to adjust my attitude inside and become reassured by the positive force


I found in my resources.


The rest today helped as well...and I am gaining a new perspective on what happens to me


after I work - and when I am tired. Now time to go out.


Have a good evening guys!! Have a happy Labor Day weekend!!!!

Hola Mark,
Be gentle with you :) ... I will try to do the same too. I overdid it this week & with some of my diagnoses & injury stuff now I have a fibromyalgia flare so will have to rest my body for a couple days till it gets a little better. I used to really beat myself up about it until I realized it’s something I have to do to keep going. & I have this meme in my phone with a girl laying in bed saying when I have to rest it’s okay & what I have to do to recuperate. & a couple other ones saying the same kinds of things.
I know our stuff is a little different but I feel like if you’re getting up super early & workin & stuff then of course you’re going to need to rest & stuff & be gentle with you
And you can probably see my situation & be kind to me, then it’s good if we can be as kind to ourselves as we are to each other :)
Lol it’s kinda late & im drinking a coffee, if I’m rambling & making absolutely no sense sorry :o


btw the days that I have to stay in bed & rest & get super frustrated, sometimes you post the coolest pictures of sunrises & stuff & it brightens my day :)

Big hugs <3

cravings (wanting) are a huge part of how the cosmic guides guide us. learning how to read my own cravings feels more important to my senses than keeping up with the latest psychobabble. not all of my cravings are cosmic guidance, but the healing gems are worth sifting through the mindslides of mental illness to recover.

reminder. . . rest is a productive activity.

Rest is work in itself. Learning that is important! It is definitely a productive activity! Here's to balancing the need of energy reset.
