Bizi,
I have a feeling that you are being too hard on yourself. Can you find ways to self-nurture?


Or do you have anything that you love to do? Anything that reaffirms who you are? Maybe you just need to get back in touch with something you used to do and that makes you happy.

My old tdoc was a rock collector. 'Sounds dumb to me but he did because he needed a good hobby.

I used to bake bread. It was affirming for me to gather the ingredients, knead the dough, watch it rise. I got good at it. And it only took one day/long afternoon to do. Maybe it didn't exactly make me happy but I found baking to be reassuring. . . something I was doing for no good reason other than I wanted to. . . because really . . . I could go out to the store and buy bread that tasted almost as good. . .

Thank kind of thing.

Also, my acupuncturist recommends that I be around nature in order to revive my own energies.
M.
