No, there aren't too many questions. I have actually just started with the workbook - only sat down with it twice, so far. Hard to say how long I might be able to work on them after I get used to doing them but I managed to draw in it for a little over an hour the other day.Ah Yeah @ladee mentioned that Zentangle.. seems to be really really soothing.. how long can you Do them?
Sorry too many questions..
Have you tried it? I really like it because I am not all that great at drawing but like to do it, anyway.
I have that problem, too. Even if another person is being a total jackass, I assume that if it bothers me, then I am the jackass. It's all messed up.The hardest part is to trust thy self, it is for me..
I let my hypermobility get the better of me and I can't do yoga because too many parts are too weak. It's also hard for me to know where the stopping point should be on a stretch. I asked my PT to show me but when he realized how weak my shoulders are, he told me to forget it, for now. I've been active enough but don't always target the muscles I need to.Do my Yoga
Do you mind me asking what you do for work?
I was a covid layoff in the spring and I am still bouncing around trying to figure out where I am going. I have been applying to jobs but competition is fierce right now, especially for remote work, which seems to be my best option so long as I am still in my current level of pain. Grateful that my hubby is holding things together for the time being.
It's hard out there. I find that I do best working/volunteering in nonprofit settings as people tend to be more likely to be interested in healthy/helpful alliances. That has been my experience, anyway.But also needing to build up alliances because that is what we also Do in order to survive and thrive.
Thanks. Sometimes I think I got the wrong handbook and am doing the wrong things. It's weird, though, because I do alright in certain settings but crash and burn in a lot of places, such as grocery stores. I think the underlying thing is that anywhere where values might be utterly random, I tend to have a lot of fear. Here, we have common goals, like in AA, like at a nonprofit but the grocery store is a free-for-all. It just feels a whole lot less safe for me than most places.@RussellSue you are already doing the work..
I hope you are able to rest well!
