Reducing dis-ease (dis-comfort, dis-stress): I try to focus on today and what I can do and how to use my skills and sensibilities differently. Focusing on what I can't do just stresses/distresses me. I can't change the fact that I have PD, but I can try not to make it feel worse by Should statements, What-Ifs, and Awfuls.
I also try to accept PD rather than fighting it. For me, acceptance doesn't mean giving up or giving in, but instead
Lindy is right that PD makes us look at ourselves a lot. One way I try to avoid that is to focus on giving back to others...mostly through my music, but in other ways too. Note: Indigogo had asked us to post tips/strategies for maintaining a positive attitude. I had posted a rather lengthy, and somewhat "preachy" response. As I looked at it a day later, it seemed like a good idea to just pull out the key points and let the rest go. J:-) |
