What's working is letting myself feel sad and crying, which was not okay in my family of origin, crying, did I mention crying, letting my face get all contorted when I cry, daily journaling, dancing in my living room to the continued disapproval of my cats, remembering I am traveling through my feelings and life experiences and physical pain and they are not who I am, reading research articles to tickle my big brain, singing aloud, biscotti every damn day, indulging my keen sense of the ridiculous, the new infusion for rheumatoid arthritis (this is HUGE!), so much water, vegan protein powder, potatoes, the particular redwoods outside the living room and bedroom, and oh, I might shed a tear now and again. 😉
