Mantra Game!!!

[Red Feather]

I need that one too monster.

I am slowly making progress and that is good.

I can be proud of making baby steps. :cry:

Why is it so hard for me?

 

[Red Feather]

It doesn't matter if I keep on falling. What matters is if I don't get up afterwards.

The mantra that has helped me the most is, "everything is as it should be."

I like that one forwarmotion, It is very calming. I will use that today.

"Life goes on..." is probably the closest thing I have to a mantra.

Oh I like the one I wrote last year. Nice reminder.

t doesn't matter if I keep on falling. What matters is if I don't get up afterwards.

You find it so hard because you are literally growing new neural pathways in your brain. You are acquiring developmental skills that someone in a half decent family would acquire between the ages of birth to 18, so you are playing catch up. You are learning to manage your PTSD symptoms and that is not a walk in the park, lane, road or highway.

Just as Rome wasn't built in a day, the brain doesn't grow multiple neural pathways in a day either. As much I am not well versed in reality based thinking (I am improving though!) I do get that that type of concentration is challenging. You have risen to many challenges Nadia. I have read about them in your diary.

To be honest I sometimes ask myself why is it taking so long and why is it so hard for me too, so I do relate.
And as you are a human being @Nadia and we are not living in a classic Hollywood narrative film where everything is resolved in two to three hours. Those types of stories make us have unrealistic expectations. It all takes time @Nadia. Hang on to that musical score that you completed. Hold on to your successes Nadia! You are making great and real in this now progress.
