I am feeling SO expansive right now
I have SO much passion, so much motivation
I feel SO full of gratitude and commitment to my cause
I’ve also felt tired
I’ve had headaches
I’ve struggled with nerve pain around my scar
My neck has been in spasm
And yes, there were fleeting moments where somewhere in my subconscious
That panic alarm sounds…
“Oh god…what if I have another CSF leak?”
“What if the patch has failed?”
“Has the metalwork moved?”
Now…I’m human, I’m still frightened by this life changing experience I had
But the difference I CHOOSE to make over how I’ve previously reacted
Is from this place of expansion and gratitude, gently exploring what I’m supposed to learn about my needs, my state, my life.
So rather than panic, I’m patient. Rather than react, I reassure.
And this changes EVERYTHING about the potential trajectory that my pain to fatigue may take me.
That means I’m taking ownership over how I feel and what I do!
I steer the ship.
What do you do when you’re tired, stressed or in pain?
