Got hair done yesterday. Long walk in. Didn’t do so well. Fighting the urge to get discouraged; at least my hair looks good! 3x out this wk!

“Courage, Old Soldier!” —Claire Weekes, Freedom From Nervous Suffering

Went to the park today! Out 2 times in 2 days. Wha?!!!

As you do the work, you build more and more love for yourself—and you start to believe that you are worth the fight.

3 ways to talk to your TMS brain: thinking, speaking and doing. Doing is the best way to get its attention. Do something scary.

This battle is mental! Exercise disciplines your mind. You can use that discipline to get yourself free. Face pain; Do it anyway.

Did 15 min. standing; plus chair workout. Haven’t set a timer and stood in awhile. Need to get back to this! I used to be at 23 min.

Mental discipline is my new focus.

I’ve progressed to chair yoga from bed yoga. Bed yoga got too easy. Getting sore now and then but hanging in there.

After 2 yrs of meditation and focus on my emotional hygiene, I noticed the return of my emotions. @TG957

Here’s where TMS lives: when you lie to yourself. When you overlook things to avoid confrontation. When you don’t speak up.

Hard day- turning it around. Whatever I dread: I’m doing it anyway.

Haven’t knitted in years— just started again today. How relaxing and fun!

Unloaded the dishwasher—first time in a long time! With my new big arm “guns,” it wasn’t so bad! ;)

Woot woot! It has kicked in! I’m starting to feel really great doing this exercise! :)

I just realized yesterday —the electrical buzzing inside my body I had for 2 yrs is now gone. Man, I hated that feeling! Now it’s Gone!

I’m going to use my mind, my will and my courage to punch through this cage. My trap is all mental. Not stuck!

Journaling has become my daily relief valve, painkiller, lightning rod, oracle. Don’t have to make myself do it anymore; I just want to.

I keep having these super vivid dreams of walking. I also had one of driving. I hope this is a good sign.

Update: my hands are still good! I can’t believe it. I’m really happy. My other symptoms are totally acting up. Are we surprised?
