Morning...
My migraines have taught me a lot about letting go of things I can’t control. Right now my home needs to be dusted and I have three loads of laundry to fold. I give myself a break when I’m in recovery mode. To fight the pain I have to go into myself and I can’t worry abt the world around me.
Sweetie is a grown man and can take care of himself. I don’t feel Like I have to be responsible for any of his needs. Even when my son was around and I was working I had others who stepped in to help. Stressing abt things only makes the pain work.
In the past when I was working, stress was a large part of my world. Many times I felt like I was raising 90+ kids at a time. Same with some of my co-workers who could be drama queens at times. I learned to set boundaries. I would come into work early cause that my best thinking times and friends would unintentionally stop by to talk and interrupt me. Closed doors didn’t work, so I ended up putts my a note on my door saying...working, come in if it’s an emergency
Dr Phil is fond of saying we teach people how to treat us. I’m a firm believer in that. Stress has taught me to look at a situation and figure out how to work it for my benefit ... when I find myself feeling overwhelmed I breath, take a walk, talk to God, pet my pup, talk to Sweetie, read a book,or get outside.
