There has got to be a lesson in all of this. Now, I need to be here and present to learn what that lesson is. (Easier said then done, much of the time.)

Usually just, "You've survived worse, you still have a sense of humor, everything will be okay, maybe you just need a nap."
Sounds silly, but a nap changes everything. Gives the body a chance to recuperate, stops the stress reaction. |

Something I learned in Weight Watchers, that I'm using for everything-write down exactly what I want, in measureable terms. Then I get my mind behind it, that I can do it.

I pull out a map and say fella where would you like to take pictures. Then I book a flight and book a room at a gay resort. Then I begin to sing I will survive! (lol)

I have two silly ones, but they work. I tell myself: "You're not a speshul snowflake. Snowflakes melt when the heat's on, and you're still here!"
And if that doesn't work, "You can't take your kitties if you go to jail, and there's no bubble baths there either." Sometimes they help. |

Well there are things I tell myself and things I do...when my depression is bugging me I tell myself to get up from my desk and go sit in the sun. And then I do it.
When stress is overwhelming me I tell myself to breathe... Well actually Sir tells me to "breathe.... Breathe...." It so helps to just focus on His voice and breathe.

I am easily overwhelmed by the big, the complex and my imagination will turn hard things in to potentially horrible things when contemplating the potential effects what ever *this* current bad thing is.
So I break it down. I first remind myself, rather quickly, of what is positive now- roof over head that is mostly functional? Check. Me, my butch, and furbabies currently have food that will sustain us? Check. for this moment, car is functioning? check Ok. now one foot in front of the other- what do I need to do IN THIS MOMENT about the current situation? and then I take it in moments by moments until I forget I am needing to put one foot in front of the other and I am just DOING it. And then, somehow, it gets better.

odd but true
..ahem.. i either talk to the Great Mother .. or i talk to my 4 Guardian Angels..who are Ellen Ripley(Alien)Emma Peel ( The Avengers) and Miss Brenda and Miss Yasmin ( Bagdad Cafe )..starting with Mrs.Peel when i was a child, i've always felt i had these women looking after me and looking out for me.. strange but true..even in the worst of times i still feel them around me,caring about me,more than occasionally getting pissed at me for not getting out of my own way.. i think everybody gets to find their own Angels, wherever or whoever they may be.. although i think of them more as Warriors than Angels..oooh yeah well i kind of think of Xena,Gabrielle and River Song as Guardian Warriors too..except i'm not sure it's kosher to lust after your Guardians..let's just call them my Alternate Universe Wives...much better... ask my about my theory that everything fictional created by the human mind actually exists in some other universe..especially unsettling when you think of Pinhead and Hannibal Lector..

I tell myself
It will be ok it is always ok, you will and can get through this, The universe carries you and it did not save you from the ocean to let you drown in the bath tub... things have been much worse and only amazing things can come out of this, but the only way out is through Go be of service... it will help, call someone -anyone and ask how they are.

When faced with a challenging situation or something I just plain old don't want to do, I tell myself "You don't have to do this, you get to do this." Saying that helps bring me back to the most grounding and strong of all emotions, gratitude. So whether jury duty, housework, exercise or career strife I remind myself how fortunate I am to have a home that needs cleaning, a judicial system with representation, a healthy and able body that deserves care or a job to go to each day.
