What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

......waiting waiting waiting....:x3:...I am thinking I could be getting better at patience!! Nahhhhhh maybe just not as reactive or just learning to take a breath.....hmmm I don't know for sure, I still make sure to do each day:

1. laugh, either by myself or with someone else - regardless if it's the darkest of sarcastic humour or it's just silly
2. say thanks
3. think of someone else and listen to them
4. take 1 form of action
5. rest, knowing I am ill
6. own something of my own misgivings
7. think of someone else and listen to them, step out of my way
8.repeat this in a post as many times as necessary (sorry everyone but I have a shitty memory :speechless:)
 
((((Rain)))) you are awesome being able to do great things even if the going is not what we can call the greatest.

((((Cath)))) hope your body gets accustomed to those meds and that it goes well, if not... well back to the Dr's office for an adjustment.

((((elizabethneuve & bittersweet)))) will be thinking of you today

((((Albatross)))) Hope you find some coolness and comfort
 
I have my dogs home, I feel happy about that.
I feel tired and wish I could nap but have committed to taking someone to the hospital this afternoon and I am out at a meeting tonight.
I will refuse the drives offered to me for tomorrow and allow myself to laze in bed and have a quiet day pottering around the house.
 
Going back to those kid feelings of being a total pain in the ass to my parents. I was a nuisance, annoyance, drama-queen, being melodramatic- all things that implied that my feelings were unwarranted and unnecessary.

I'm trying to fight them right now, so things are a little hairy at the moment.

Sethe - are you sure you were a pain or were you just being a child who deserved some love & attention. Try not to fight with those feelings, watch them and learn from them, be kind to yourself in what ever way suits you, when you understand your feelings things will seem much clearer..
 
Today I'm feeling pleased with myself!

For the first time i've had someone other than my children to stay overnight, it was lovely & really gave my confidence a boost. I also spent an hour in my house on my own with my new financial advisor, a MAN!
It's all left me feeling shattered but happy.

What shall I do next I wonder?
 
I feel like I had a really good day. (wow, big deal for me)
I feel surprised that I missed seeing my shrink this morning, and his Yoda grin (he was out of town).
I feel pretty peaceful at the moment (that's a big amen-ah).
I feel in my body and really solid three dimensional. I am really grounded today and it isn't as weird as it used to be.
I feel happy for unexpected blessings (a vintage cookbook, an exercise bike, two blouses and a jacket... all completely unexpected yesterday and today).
I feel no anxiety today... none. Gonna have to mark it on the calendar so I can tell my shrink, eh?
 
I feel proud :D

I attended a new councillors meeting tonight. I went on my own and walked into a room of about 20 strangers. I was shaking so badly I could hardly carry my coffee, a couple of people noticed and I just said 'oops I've got a shake on', I swapped the cup to my other hand and went and sat down.

I sat at a table with 2 guys, I joined them sayin 'is it OK to sit here'. I then took my moss agate stone turtle our of my bag and held it throughout. I participated in discussions and asked questions. When I needed to, I left the room for water and when it started to get dark, I was the one who asked if anyone minded if I put some lights on.

I even had to drive home in the dark. I now need to unwind before bed.
