There were times that I thought it would never be possible to feel good about myself.
But here I am.

In the past I would sometimes just go to bed to escape overwhelming situations.
I’d get up with a new energy.
I always thought I was hiding or I couldn’t face some things in my life.
I’m now realising that I was tired and just needed sleep.
Learning how to feel the basics.
That’s the post

Many years ago I learned of a life force energy within us.
Now I see its healing power.
It pulls to heal naturally,
if I let it.
The infinity of it
as one.
When I let my glasses of resistance
fall from my face.
The first step was to surrender to gravity in this physical manifestation.
Now I see its healing power.

There’s one thing I know from experience.
If I get up every morning at 5am.
I go to bed at 8pm.
I don’t lose sleep.

The houseplants need watering. I will attend to that task, and that thought will not disturb me when I sit quietly by myself.
On a side note I didn't realise hashtags are a thing here.

Beginnings of healing.
Get some air dry clay.
Shape what comes to the mind.
Take your time doing it.
Observe the feelings when
someone disturbs you.
Even your cat.

I was noticeing that I was tightning my stomach prior to reaching the bump. I relaxed by body and let it go all floppy.
Just let go and go with it.
No nausea.
A physical integration of mind and body.
I asked myself,
"Could I do the same thing with an anxiety attack?"

One of the most important things I ever did,
was to go over a sharp hump backed bridge in a car as
a passenger many times on journeys.
The feeling of nausea was horrible.
The important thing and change, was my surrendering to it.

Waiting for you,
I tore the wallpaper in strips
and saw many
shades of colours.
Each layer
going way
back in time.
I didn’t know that’s where you lived too.

I was taught to keep my heart closed.
To protect it at all costs.
Last year I found a key and opened it slowly,
and I liked what I saw.
