self care and indecision
this may seem like a weird combination of words and concepts.
I found myself feeling really strong at work today.
Just a sense of ownership of my life, my problems, while working away.
My mind started to feel like raw meat, and I could still look ahead and knew I had to be gentle
with myself once the day was over. I meditated, thought on god and just
hoped I would make it through the workday and live another day
to be able to keep myself taken care of and just (JUST!?) alive!
I realized I can't always turn to my therapist and family in times of
mental torment - and I know too - to heal from a mangled head from
yesterday's and the workday's experiences (fatigue and stress) - I
need to be careful and giving to myself. Self care seems like such
an overused word by fancy people advertising body wash or some such
bullshi%! on social media. I feel though I am picking up the mantle of taking
care of my problems - through asserting self caring and healing combinations
of activities. SO, what's this part got to do with the second word "indecision"?
I can get painfully or rather excrutiatingly undecided about what to do.
It's definitely an embarrassment of riches - but I'll think I'll do something -
and then talk myself out of it - I need to push passed this habit or maybe just
be aware of it and find something that motivates me to actually venture forth in
action.
Anyways, things are good. I need to start keeping herbal tea and bubbly minderal water
in my room. I love those things - and I deserve to have a little store house of things
I like in my room.
I hope you guys treat yourself to the good things you like as well!!
Good night from me.
xx Mark

in my psychosis, indecision is a close traveling buddy with self-neglect. what do i want to eat? i don't know. fuck it. who needs food, anyway? etc., etc., through all the self-neglect possibilities.
thanks arfie!
Yes, things always get ruined by the over marketing bandwagons - like the simple concept of self care!!!!
I love that you have your special place in your own room with resident Blue on the case to ensure your self care is prioritized!
I have Bella in my little bohemian bungalow life who makes sure I come home and rest after wrangling the world at large everyday. The one thing Bella is not good at, however, is making sure I eat healthier options. Trying to redirect her. Haha.
Hugs for this Thursday!
Thanks Nikki!
