keep stimulated! just sharing some good news
Last weekend I realized that it's really important to keep yourself stimulated
with outtings in life as a way just to keep yourself fully human..
This morning I woke up and started to feel that real sense of depression
and worthlessness that I struggled to fight against! But I realized with the blessing
of work and the upcoming social life there will be plenty to keep me stimulated.
I know that might sound kind of vague but the valuable lesson here for me is
that keeping stimulated in life is part and parcel of taking care of my life.
This goes for things like, keeping the house clean, taking care of Blue,
turning on the television, taking care of my personal appearance and making
social plans!....having a project!!!
I really want to organize a brunch with my friend S.
Hopefully she will be up for it. I figure we could meet somewhere
and then go back to her place and we could walk her dogs..(she has 4 of them! LOL).
They're lovely dogs and they're so important to her.
But what I am 'getting' from all this is that like anything in life my personal
well being is a like any process in life..Mental health included ..It takes work and it also could be
surreptitiously something I might not recognize straight away....but the reality is...I won't go
down without a fight!

I don't know who or what planted the seed in me that I am undeserving and that I need
a logic to explain my natural talent for keeping myself healthy and interested in life
but it's something I understand now and that is so much the antidote medicine!!
Add positive words and images to help you heal to your better balance.
thanks Mid!
those seeds that tell us we are undeserving, etc., fall from everywhere and anywhere.
working the antidote is far more important than tracing the origin of the seeds.

thanks lil missy! those are great things to have thank you!! :)
I think when I feel the mind going down a steep slope of rumination or thought
this too can be seen as part of that need for stimulation as well...? To have the option
now to step outside myself when this happens seems a good add to my therapy tools and so
I am just seeing it as a way for kind of standing up for my rights and essential value
rather than feel entrenched and drilled down by the realities in front of me.
Gotta be spirited in life but also self responsible and take care of my life.
Good for you Marky for getting out and about.... This is something I have struggled with for a long time... Don't stop sweetie... There is a real darkness to it
I hope that you get to walk the dogs today..... Big hug.... xo
alas, boredom is not the only thing that routinely pushes me down that slippery slope, but it's pretty high on the list of possibilities. even when boredom is not the cause, getting up and doing something more productive than ruminating is called, "distraction" when i do it as a therapy tool.
yup, ya gotta be spirited in life while also taking care of business. the two make mighty fine bedfellows. they balance one another divinely.
take a risk. live out loud.
Thanks guys
