Dealing with Grief, Friendship, Gratitude, The Pain Body

Day 40: Be Brave Challenge – It’s not over yet!

So today was supposed to be my final post. I have the entire post all planned out in my head, but then as usual ‘life’ happened and I now feel slightly compelled to write about that rather. So I hope you don’t mind, but it looks like I will have to extend my challenge just …

Day 38: Be Brave Challenge – Living with our ‘Pain Bodies’

So I have developed three cardinal rules that I try my best to stick with when I feel triggered and angry about something: 1. Don’t respond right away 2. Don’t respond via text or email (No matter how hard you try, you’re not going to be able to interpret a person’s tone nor will you be …

Day 37: Be Brave Challenge – The ‘Just Sick’ rant!

Day 33 : Be Brave Challenge – ‘The Ultimate Super Power’

So I have been waking up 4 am for the last two days again… Can’t seem to understand the correlation to me feeling happy and then my body thinking “whoohooo I don’t quite need sleep anymore.” (Note to body: you do!) And I feel flu-like symptoms approaching, exactly one day after I joked with a …

Day 32: Be Brave Challenge – Learning to ‘Practice Gratitude’

While I was shopping yesterday I was grabbing new things I had already bought to try on with stuff I was thinking about buying. Had fly-away thought….” Whatever you do don’t pack ‘unpaid for stuff’ back into a paid bag. (An arrest for shoplifting will not do much for your career🤔.) Even checked bag while …
