I cooked dinner tonight for the first time in 9 months!

Started some chair yoga. It feels great! Have 3 new freelance writing projects for this week. Very happy!

The obstacles in the path are the path. It is not about waiting for something. (Nicole Sachs)

Realized today I need to stop running from grief. Hiding from it doesn’t heal it.

I do things slowly. So what? Most of the time I’m happy.

I am right where I need to be today to change my life in an epic fashion. Slower is quicker. (Based on Nicole Sachs’s wisdom)

Emptied the dishwasher PLUS hand washed the pots and pans. This is huge progress for me. I’m doing more chores. Yay!

As the days go by, they will gradually improve if I let them. When you can say this and mean it, you will see a miracle happen. -Dr. Weekes

During the pandemic I frantically searched online for the latest on staying safe. Now I frantically study TMS recovery. I’m too frantic.

Got some work for the first time in months. Did it with my semi-functioning hands. Client loved it. Wow, I feel better!

Still in a physical flare up. But my soul and spirit are growing by leaps and bounds.

Facing off with abusers in my life, past and present, with newfound strength, is kicking up stress and symptoms. But for a good cause!

When I post on this forum it is nailing down my truths. It is opening the doors in my mind. I’m changing. Thank you for listening!

Today is the first day since I started in March that I can actually feel my body letting go of TMS. It’s very subtle. But it’s there!!!

Laughing at symptoms—literally ridiculing them is helping. Also saying over and over: I’m ok right now. I’m living now. Nothing is wrong.

Noticing that self pity and self absorption causes symptoms to flare. Not the other way around.

Today I “walked” 25 minutes around the living room and kitchen and it was fun and I was surprisingly strong doing it. :)
