Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

I hope the support group works out for you too @Sophia1

I'm still giving it time to see about mine (monthly Saturday MH group) - so far so good, although only one other person (apart from me) turned up last time.

I'm looking forward to sleep too @Former-Member I think Boring is my middle name.

I'm not often really bored, but feel I've done nothing distinguished (not achieved much) in the past 20 years.

Everything worthwhile was done before then.

A very good point @Appleblossom Spectacular views, without the desert heat - which I wouldn't cope well with. We get all the best bits...

Hi @Appleblossom 👋 

Yes, I think it’s hot enough here in summer, that’s for sure. Can’t imagine how hot it would be over there. 😳🌻☀️

 

Hi! 👋 Sounds like you’ve had had a busy day @Adge 

I’m sure you’ve achieved, even though you feel like you haven’t. 

 

I am being super lazy on the couch, but really need to clean the kitchen, shower and get to bed. 

Not much on TV tonight. 

 

 

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

hello @Former-Member @Adge @Appleblossom @outlander

 

Glad that you all got something out of them....

The advantage of mind travelling is that you set your own temperature...climate control I believe the modern day term is...

 

Adge that is ridiculous travelling all that way for a meeting ...in this day and age you could have apps thing on your phone...or they could set up meeting on their phone...

Have you got your name on waiting lists with other companies that offer similar work?

 

Nice that you had lunch out with your daughter Bella....that should break the boredom for some time....

 

Outlander...did you manage to take your new car for a long spin....have a break?

 

Well am off to bed...tired...

sore and stiff from overdoing it in the pool on monday...so slowed it down today...see how I am in the morning tomorrow as have pool again...

 

night all Cat HappyHeart

 

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Good morning @outlander @Adge @Former-Member @Former-Member@Appleblossom

 

I don't seem to be receiving all of the notifications again....

sometimes the bell is not ringing at all laugh..

other times it has so many chimes that are repeated...

it is ok if you don't get the above...just my humour...

 

hello ...I will start again..

Thank you for sharing my mind travelling with me

I am working very hard at distracting...

learning...discovering...

hence mind travelling...

I am allowing myself to be the different person who I am....using the forums in a way that is helpful for me at the moment......

practising not feeling that I have to put everyone else first....at the same time sharing with those who want to jump on board...

I am off to walk around our garden....this might sound very simple....have not been able to for some time then stopped altogether...isolating thingy...

so here I go...

will be back later Cat Happy

 

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

I hope the garden walk was good @Sophia1

I have gone through many phases in how I approach and use the forum.

I think it is a good sign if we are reflective and creative about our use, rather than rigidly  or habitually doing the same thing all the time.  Though routines can also be good for some people ...

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1

Thats right, you don’t have to put others first. You need to take care of yourself in order to get well. 

I hope you enjoyed your garden today  

 

I have been out again today. A drive and a walk at the beach. Now cooking dinner, tacos 🌮 

 

Nerves not good today. Tried going without prn, hmm! Not a good idea. Gave in. 

 

Better go and see how dinner is going. 

Catch you again soon. 

 

Hi there @Appleblossom @outlander @Adge and anyone else around. 

 

💜💖💜💖

@Sophia1 said:  

"practising not feeling that I have to put everyone else first....at the same time sharing with those who want to jump on board...". ...  I think that's very reasonable, and mature, and just go with the flow. I lack concentration and energy and practical to me so its just " whatever we can manage" 

 

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

certainly is for you @Former-Member

with everything on your plate...

I hope that you are able to have support for your health too..

I will continue to tag you..if my mind allows me to remember.....no pressure to reply...

take careCat Happy
