Day 10 Feeling the doubts

NewBeginning

Well known member
I have NO doubts about TMS and have had a firm belief all my life in mind/body connection. It actually has played a prominent role in my life. Somehow, it just feels like maybe with all of this now and at this point of life - feels like my whole world view crashed. I don't know... It is so hard to see how it all comes together with so many variables.

While I can see so clearly how it can for others and how they most definitely can and will fully heal, but for some reason feeling the doubts tonight once again given everything to get through. Just acknowledging the doubt, while knowing I just need to keep taking the next step...

Such. A. Hard. Mental. Battle. Some days are better than others. I just hold on to the brighter days and let the dark days wave over me. The healing process works. What if it took 2 hours to bake a cake. Would you freak out at 15 minutes? Nope. You’d know cake is coming at the right time. As soon as this cake is baked, you’ll take it out of the oven. Until then, just try and take it easy. Until then, just try and take it easy and smell any roses you can. Find little ways to make yourself happy. Think about all the things you love. Do as many as you can. Or imagine doing them. Make yourself smile. You don’t have to worry about finding all the right pieces to heal. They show up all on their own sooner or later. It’s weird that way.

You are brave! You’re doing great!

This made me smile as I have a bottle of actual rosewater spray at my table right now and was spraying it earlier as a stimulus cue for some relaxation / self-soothing after journaling. ha ha.
So, yeah, in the literal and figurative smelling of the roses.
And, thanks again, I am trying to acknowledge the doubts when they come up (feel all the feelings!) while still holding the vision!
