5 Things I'm Thinking Today

1: coffee and haydn: a touchstone of calm.
2: still losing time. it's disturbing and not really being taken seriously by my therapist (also disturbing).
3: rice: it's here!
4: decided to do some shredding of old forms to show the new forms what will happen if they do not cooperate.
5: anxiety.
 
1. @Cj77 Yesterday as I searched the discount store for a bigger pot for my gifted orchid ...I ran into a very velvety textured, delightfully soft, neon pink cuddle blanket for the toddlers. Much to my chagrin, I found myself holding it without hesitation and wondered what part of me was in charge in that moment?:clown:

2. I have found fun again and I wonder why it took so long to heal that area?
3. Peanut butter and jelly on thin wheat bread is sneaking into my breakfast of champions.:meh: The whole Steel Irish Oats are cooking for tomorrow...but I like the other better.:D
4. I have found I am having trouble reading trauma as of late: I think my stress cup needs a tad more emptying.
5. I am exercising more as my balance has permitted. But now my body craves carbs : I ate a whole bowl of durum wheat pasta with a tad of olive oil, tarragon and basil. :nailbiting: I am a little perplexed and wonder how quickly this will level out (hopefully while I still fit in things).:O_o:
 
1. My Thanksgiving cactus started blooming at Easter & almost full bloom now. It decided to be red this time, sometimes pink, sometimes both. Not different sides of the plant- not sure how it does that?
2. I got a rose, tried not to take but it hasn't wilted in a week. Sticking my nose in to it is grounding, so soft. Nice scents seem grounding, maybe a different part of the brain without bad memories. I don't ever recall remembering 'nice smells' with bad memories, unless it's some colognes & they don't register as 'nice'
3. I found 2 forks thursday. Literally one was 'a fork in the road'. I found someone's workout pass/ ID membership yesterday
4. I figured, with SI, when it's not depression it = living through things where they were so lousy death isn't any worse. Think that's where the fear of death disappears in to, it's just relative. But, the flipside is maybe is that that's worthy of a bit of self-compassion, in itself.
5. My head is splitting despite tylenol :sick:
 
1. Also, they talk of the natural inclination to survival (instinct)- once in particular I remember mine didn't occur- but most of all, if survival is perceived as 'worse' relatively speaking , that could explain it. Then, if/ when the causative experiences or trauma(s) end, they should be replaced with thoughts they're over or overcome (survived). But then they're re-experienced/ re-lived (experientially or simply through the involuntary re-call - not memories but FB's/ thoughts etc).
