Today we are focusing on chronic pain. We have done it all, the stretching, the PT, the ointment, the meds, the props, ice, wraps, heat, all the things... But we still deal with pain. Listen to your body, its okay to rest, its okay to stop, its okay to stay no. You do not need to hide or mask your pain.

And we are back! May and June were a whirlwind of adventure and change. With adventure and change came planning and trying to make sure everything was just right. This led to lots thinking traps including how to keep everything perfect. Spoiler alert- nothing was perfect but it all turned out alright :)

We continue exploring thinking traps. Sometimes our anxiety will predict the worse thing that can happen or that bad outcomes are a given. How do you experiences this thinking trap?

Today we journal about Earth Day! A good day to reflect and take an inventory of how you honor the Earth and what more you can do to tend to our home. When we care for where we live our mood improves.

This is my favorite by Rumi and one my favorite poems. Each emotion has a purpose. When we allow them to fulfill that purpose instead of ignoring them, we are able to regulate and care for ourselves.
