The Master sees things as they are,

Without trying to control them.

She lets them go their own way,

And resides at the center of the circle.

Lao-Tzu, Tao-te-Ching

You’re welcome. I’m trying to cling onto anything hopeful to try and get to a good place...the place I’m in is where there is fear and sadness, no peace or joy. I’m feel I’m failing in life. Now if I can change myself and my perception... I’m lost right now. I’m thinking of saying all of this to my therapist soon when I have the courage to share with her.

Hope you are well Olivia.

I’m so sorry to hear how you feel right now..

Yes do tell your therapist...

I have been similar, very up then down for me..

I really struggled last week, this week I’m doing better..it’s such a slow progress sometimes..

I’m grateful to feel a little more hopeful this week...

It’s slowly passing..I went out today and actually enjoyed what I achieved...

Good wishes star !

Thanks for your kindness and understanding. I’m glad you achieved, Olivia. What do you think made this week better than last week? I just did my walk and broke a sweat, feeling great at the moment. I think I really could become addicted to exercise. Going out again to pick up my second kiddo.

To be honest I think it was a mix of things helped me...

I didn’t beat myself up about resting for a few days , I slept and generally didn’t do much..then gradually I did little things ..I put my Christmas tree up..it’s small and wasn’t difficult to do but it was a start...then I visited a coffee shop closeby..so just being gentle with myself...I had a walk near the river and that was nice...

So glad you feel better..

Exercise is fab...I walk for exercise as I don’t like running but walking helps

Good wishes ❤️🌻🌻🌻
