I've disappeared--but this time, it was somewhat legitimate. Pain has consumed me once again, so this will be a brief post...a post to catch up on my prompts and to hopefully distract myself for a little bit from the pain.
February 15
"If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves."
Preface: If we simply acknowledged all that we are currently doing, we would astound ourselves!
Assignment: Today, bring some conscious awareness to all you are currently doing.
>>My Feb. 15 consisted of pain, a pain that I haven't been faced with for over a year. It was a process of relearning. A day of learning to listen to my body again and coping with that. I dusted, I did dishes, I started my laundry, I picked up my things, I braved the three flights of stairs to go get the mail...but mostly I slept. I slept and allowed my body to heal and remember this pain and how to cope with it.

"Never give up and never face the facts."
Assignment: Today, notice what lies you've been taught to believe are facts. Ask yourself regularly throughout the day, "Is that true?" "How do I know that's true?"
>>Again, I was still battling pain, so a lot of today consisted of, "how do I know my pain will end?" I've been told to breathe through it, that it will pass, but I sit here on Feb. 17, with my pain peaking, and it has not passed--it has not gotten any easier. I wouldn't necessarily say I've been told lies, I would say that I've been given words of comfort and words of love--those who are in my life, don't lie to me. Except for maybe my doctors....cuz they're crazy.

"The next message you need is always right where you are."
Assignment: Today, look around. What's the message?
>>Listen to your body. If you overdo it, you pay. Allow your body and mind to heal--it may remember pain, but it may not remember all of the different ways to cope with it. Remember now that you have a support system--reach out and know that you are no longer alone.
