Feeling Alive On Your Right Path

What keeps you feeling alive? What is helping you to be on your path; one that is meant for you?

For me I am trying to follow my heart but I tend not to listen and I try to seek my intuition. I try to trust in prayer these last few days. Hand it over as I do all I can.

Being not where we want to be ... is why we keep moving right!? in hopes that we land safely on our right paths...

And I think we switch paths.

I feel in between in a rocky area now which I’m trudging through with my beliefs spilling out of me and I am loosing as I’m trying to kick bad habits. Im trying to be more calm. I’m just a little unsure if I can do these things right now and that’s going to have to be okay.

And sometimes we have to push forward to make it doable, reaching further than we thought possible.

I pray you are in a place of peace and joy, and full of faith hope and love ❤️

Hello, my awesome friend. I can tell you that Sue is keeping me on the path that keeps me feeling safe, loved and happy. My writing helps, as does talking to people here. I am much more at peace now that my health has improved dramatically. I am using this improved health to reach out to my close friends here even more and try to help them all I can. Peace, joy and love to you, S!

It started when I took an innocuous supplement called fish, flax & borage oil. Sometimes it's also called Omega 3-6-9. It fights inflammation, improves brain health and effects healing all across your body. I'm telling you within 24 hours of taking the first dose, I felt so much better I could not believe it. A stronger me was immediately able to handle everything better. Good sleep. a better diet, love & emotional stability all fed on each other and with the supplement it has been a positive feedback loop that has been improving me every since I started a few weeks ago. I upped my dose to 2 a day which may be enhancing my improvement too. You can take up to 3 per day. But, I'm telling you, S, the difference is like night and day!

Omega 3's are incomplete without the 6 & 9 too. Don't mistake taking one type of supplement to do the job of several. I specifically take Nature's Way fully balanced mega 3-6-9 blend. It normally costs $20 in a nutritional store. But, I buy it online at Vitacost.com. With discounts I usually get it for about $12 per 90 count softgel bottle.... The lime flavor was hard to get used to but, it works so darn well that I was glad to put up with that small inconvenience!

I just hope that at some point I can turn to God automatically when I'm in a dark place. Right now that doesn't happen. But at least I am coming out of my depressive episode. My therapist reminded me to start making a list of goals for the day. To keep me busy and distracted and accomplishing something. Will continue in my new direction of accepting my life and learning new skills in my DBT class. Just need to be reminded of practices I need to do to get through. Life is so uncertain and who knows what path we may end up on. Accept( really difficult to do) and know that God is in charge.

Today I was thinking I need to get back to setting goals more than I do. So you and Agora both say it’s about acceptance, eh. I’m so about focusing on acceptance now. Thanks for sharing Carlybette! Oh yes and to recall God is the controller I can see how that could help.

Life itself keeps me feeling alive. I get so excited about greeting each new day.

I follow my intuition in making choices however I accept when things don't work

out as I expected. I believe in that things happen for the best, happen for a reason.

I certainly have had my share of stress including my life situation as well as illnesses.

And yet, I embrace each new day with all I've learned on this journey. I feel

a peace that I never did before as it shows in my demeanor as well as b/p. My doctor

recently asked me what I'm doing to bring my b/p to a normal state. "Acceptance"

is the key and I'm finally using it for my benefit. :) xx

Sometimes, the best thing to do is find a quiet place, be with people you care about and who care about you, and just...…...

RELAX!!

You do your best every day. That's all anyone can ask So, just be :)

Your pal,

Brian :)

So true! I got to do that today, well a semi- quiet spot with loved ones and it brought calm and a much needed flip to positivity.
