patience and acceptance
I woke up this morning very slowly. I felt drunk off my medication as the medicine can make me feel when I am so in touch with my body. I took a few deep breaths and turned on the tv and then went to put the kettle on.
I felt my sense of place in the world
and yet slowly I started to feel paranoid. Kind of embittered but I tried not to focus on that. I don't know if I'm describing it well but just the waking time started to make me sense my imperfections and yet I reassured myself by suggesting to be patient for your sense of self, your sense of well being. I remembered that it's a dynamic, life. That I need to take care of my day...and that each of us has something to offer though we may have faults...we have assets as well.
So we're totally ok in making our way in the world flawed but responsible, nervous but rested assured.
weaknesses and strengths

I am really really tired today, inexplicably so, so I am with you on practicing patience today. I know my fatigue levels make me feel and think in skewed ways so I’m trying to stay aware of that today. Is it nice ànd sunny today? Maybe a walk in the park and a journal about nature surrounding you could be an uplifting exercise?
Hugs!!
allowing myself to mindfully focus on my paranoia and bitterness for mindful stretches of time takes me to healing places repression and denial won't allow me to see. among the many of those healing places is the discovery that within many of my "weaknesses" are great gifts and talents that were buried in the mindslides of mental illness. they are gems worthy of rescue.
and still, making my way in the world, flawed but responsible, is the best i can hope for. it's enough when i let it be.
I almost always wake up groggy Marky so I'm with you there...... Deep breaths and some time to wake to the world around us.... Big hug sweetie... xo
Thanks Nikki! I think it’s time to get showered and dressed. I know it will be a good start to the day!Things are good! Allow yourself to rest, you’ve been going like gangbusters!
Thanks Arfie! Indeed I am focusing on being responsible and the good things that I have to offer.. Life is a dynamic and seeing that the faults are not eclipsing the gems or seeing that I can give to others and still take care of life.
Peace you guys!!!
Thanks Jan!!! Deep breath’s certainly were enlivening this morning!!
When I wake up a bit out of it, I will say a prayer of thanks for waking up that day. It seems to help me. Thinking of things I'm thankful for makes me feel better.
Thanks Becky!
