Hmmm....thought I was getting it stable
'It' being my life.
I have recently become aware of multiple things that were holding me back in my health and I've been feeling the benefits of letting them go.
I find myself expecting to be very well very quickly but seem to flail at the sight of any external pressure...positive or negative.
Anyone have any tips on how to gently do this living peacefully thing....It is a need not a want.

Re: Hmmm....thought I was getting it stable
Welcome to the Forums @LearnAtAllTimes, we're sorry to hear that you are going through a bit of a rough time right now. Putting pressure on yourself to get through "it" very quickly seems so common, what advice would you give someone else who was going through what you were going through? Generally, most people would say "be kind to yourself" and "take it one day at a time", however, when it comes to ourselves we never follow our own advice - why do you think that is? Do you have someone you can talk to about putting a strategy in place to help you through those times you feel are tough?

Re: Hmmm....thought I was getting it stable
Hello @LearnAtAllTimes just wanted to say I read your post.
Flailing at the sight of external pressure is all too familiar to me.
I don't know if I can offer tips on living peacefully, as I have a mood disorder that is not conducive to peace.
Still, something that has helped me to ride the waves is Acceptance Commitment Therapy
And the forum has helped because there are people who just get it.
Take care.

Much better since this post.
I've been practicing self care and reducing unnecessary stressors.
Hope all is well with you.
