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

I feel it is an odd day today. Hubby is away and I woke feeling refreshed and then looked at the clock. Oh my Goodness, it was 1.30pm. I'd missed most of the day and felt guilty as the dogs had missed their morning walk. They didn't seem to mind though and were curled up, sleeping with me.

Initially, I felt guilty for having slept so long and was beginning to beat myself up about it. Then, I went a different route and told myself that I obviously needed the sleep. It didn't matter and was unimportant. I'm proud that I took that approach.

I walked the dogs and they had lunch instead of breakfast. I will shower soon and then walk them again.

Then it will be 4 sleeps until hubby comes home.

A little disappointment because Easter is over and it is just another usual day now, not the fun and happiness I was experiencing yesterday. None the less, the memories of yesterday are still wonderful and I am happy I had a really nice Easter.

I had a difficult day trying to sort out practical things, and didn't manage much. I'm disappointed about that, and a bit worried because it causes some problems. I am very stressed about a medical appointment tomorrow morning. That's the main reason today went so much off track. But I'm pleased that at least I'm using healthy coping methods for dealing with the emotions.

I'm feeling pressured. I'm at work, first day back after the Easter break. I'm the only one in, it is 10.55 and only now am I having my first coffee. The phone has been busy, plus people calling into the office.

I am really anxious about the breast cancer and ovarian cancer tests tomorrow.

I feel clearer. I feel like I'm in the present and my mind can focus. So I feel better.

Finally feel like I am getting myself back together from the crisis hubby had on Sunday evening.

I'm a bit disconnected. Maybe getting my hands in dirt to re-pot the little cactus will help.

edit for update- I've been over-watering that cactus... hopefully it'll grow new roots that aren't mushy and rotted. It's orchid friend isn't too thrilled with me either, probably the same reason.

I feel calm and tired thanks to the EMDR I just did. I let go of a little bit of my past clearing room for the present and my ability to live in it.

a medical appointment tomorrow morning

breast cancer and ovarian cancer tests tomorrow.

I am sorry you both had these appointments. I really hope you are both OK. Maybe give yourselves a big pat on the back for taking care of your health even when it is hard.

Support to all that needs it.

I feel pressure today. My back is sore and I want to stay inside today but I have to leave. I feel pressure from a family member to be better than I am. I feel the emotional stress I am probably letting myself feel because of the pressure. I feel stressed about burying my head in the sand and choosing not to deal with the reality I am in. I need to stop allowing myself to go into the bubble where I ignore reality; while it may protect me from some feelings, in the end I only feel worse as time marches on but my head is still in a different year.

Stress, annoyance, triedness and pressure, in a nutshell. I think today will be a good day, if I can just allow myself to be in the moment and get as much done today as I can. No running away or hiding, today I will be a regular person and do regular everday life stuff. I will try to feel hope today and be grateful for the things in my life that I have.
