Learning to be more gentle and take it easy

My mind has been very focused on 'depression', and I have a few nights were my mind was on alert.. and couldnt switch off.

I have realised that I am precious and worthy.. as all of us truly are.

My life needs alot more groundedness.. and I can become grounded by eating, even when I do not feel hungry.. and also playing with my dog or sitting on the grass outside brings me back to earth and not in my head.

I am learning from this that I am worthy.. years of believing I wasnt worthy has been my challenge. Alot of self esteem and confidence issues have come up again for me.

This week my goals are to go to work and do my shifts..
To do some drawing and painting which I am hanging out to do..
To do some regular exercise and some meditation at night to help me unwind my mind.

bluefix,

I also find it helps to have a weekly plan. I am a list person so if it goes on the list, there is a higher chance it will get done.

Very proud of you for coming to the conclusion we are all precious and worthy. Everyone has something to offer, no matter how small we may see some things we do. A simple smile can turn someones day around from bad to bearable.
