What Moved You Emotionally Today?

[Changing4Best]

I was moved to fear today that something is really wrong with my shoulder, because it was hurting while I was carrying some groceries and also it was hurting yesterday when I rolled over on it in bed. So many folks I know of have had to get a shoulder operation (I think they say rotator cuff surgery) and I would hate to have to get that done.

I was moved to joy today while talking on the phone with my niece, I love that girl!

Day 21
Sometimes, being present and practicing patience, I wait on a positive emotion. :whistling:
I have a handful of tricks and grounding tools that may coax out a gentler reframe.
However, today my bag of tricks fell flat.

So what moved me today before my time was up...was this photo -
I think he knows the way out of my funk: I just needed leadership.:clown:

Day 19 I was moved to see how easily it is for my mind to go the depressive thought cascade or the generalised anxiety disorder way as well. It was quite moving to notice and be kind to these ways of thinking/feeling/being but also noticing that there is a lot for me to be grateful about.

Day 22: I was moved emotionally when a client's son told me I broke a landscape irrigation head when backing up his driveway. He was handled the communication in an admirable way, and I apologized and offered to pay for it. He told me, it was "no big deal" and listened when I said that I would back up only to the end of the straight away (it is a circular drive and on an incline so after two years I missed once). His tone, expressions, body language were all good and I was sorry but it did not make me uncomfortable or cause shame feelings. I offered to do the responsible thing and went on with my shift, reminding myself that 2 years, one broken landscape head is not an "awful" thing. But... it is sometimes eye opening to have someone handle a difficulty in a way that is different than what would have occurred in my family home or with my ex.

Day 23, getting my assigmnent completed (minus a last minute edit) moved me to feel relief. Also, the smell of almond cake baking, and the fact that it came out perfectly cooked, made me happy. Finally,

My little boy, getting warm under a blanket. He (nearly) always makes me happy:happy:

I took the completed forms to the bank to have them faxed to the Medical Center so I can obtain my medical records if they still have them. It has been a very long time since I worked and used their outpatient services.

Anyway, the person that was doing the faxing for me, told me her brother was born with a hole in his heart so at an early age, her family drove to this Medical Center so he could be treated. She started talking about this place and her memories back from when she was quite young, like under 6 years old.

Of all people, while standing there at the fax machine, both of us were connecting on a personal level and our emotions were doing all the talking about this place.

I was moved by drawing with crayons, they are so lovely, so bright.

Day 22

I was moved by the knowledge that I can be real here...totally open. Not only are there many here whom have shared having some of the same trauma but many whom can identify with the emotions that lend wisdom in moving forward.

Acceptance, being able to openly share, help on black and white thinking (without the proverbial shock) has led me to discover 'me'. In this moment...I feel enriched to learn how to live authentically among those whom seek the same.

I was moved by my weakness this night...and my horrible headache. I was moved by my own anxiety...and the crazy dream about guinea pigs. :confused:

Day 20 I was moved by nature and sitting on a big rock by the sea.

I was moved by an autobiography I read by an author, which was really mostly about her family life and private life. She did include a small amount of info about writing and having an agent and getting offered huge sums of money for her books. It was fun reading about her success, but then sad to think about my lack of success in my creative endeavors. I tried writing, several times, but it is harder than writers make it look by far! I've written books, but only one was ever published and it didn't sell hardly at all. SIGH....

@SheilaKathy I would hope to see you write again. Maybe you could do audio on your computer to save your hands?
