Hi @Sophia1 it's good to have you back

I went walking with Mister the other day. It was down the beech. He loves chasing the waves. The sky was blue. There was white clouds. The waves were crashing on the shoreline. There was nobody but me and my dog on the beech.

Yea mindfulness is helpful but I've found it hard to maintain. If you can practise it regularly I imagine it would be of much benefit. I go to a park bench sometimes and just sit there, meditate and remind myself of all the helpful thoughts (counselling techniques) which defuse and ease the heavy thoughts of guilt and shame (negative thinking cycles) and try to build my confidence with self talk. Build myself a positive self perception profile. Get myself out of the rut.

All the best

Am imagining the fusing of the waves...the sound.. The smell...as I read your response.

you would have developed an even stronger bond with Mister now....good for each other..

I have had a rotten day today struggling with slow physical recovery...I have also reduced painkillers. as advised by gp.  

Must go..talk soon

💚

@Sophia1 take good care of yourself. Sorry I don't realise how serious it is. I feel very helpless cause there's nothing I can do. Except say a prayer for you.

I'm here and listening @Sophia1

Re: Coming to terms with reality

Hello @eudemonism

thank you for such a lovely message...I truly appreciate your words..

I was not prepared for such a huge deluge of emotions to continue for so long..

better out than in though...

I know that I have been in shock for some time...even now only the pain reminding me that I have had the operation...

So much is a blur..

I read that you went for a walk with Mister again.....he would be better on the leas by now I am assuming..

how did your catch up with friend turn out...enjoyable I hope..

I am off to the pool again tomorrow for 30 minutes of exercise...I love being in the water..

hope that you have something to look forwar d to also...

take care..

nice to be back chatting with you Eude..

sophia 💚
