Rehab isn't an end, it's a means to
an end. I've been noticing myself doing
little bits - and sometimes not so little - more here and there, and doing is the way to
build confidence. I also know that I
need to honor the energy capacity that I have right now.
DOING more means being more flexible
with rehab. Skipping a session if something
comes up that I want to DO. My rehab is
tiring, time consuming. Doing more phone - rather than in-person - sessions of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).
I'd rather put my going-out energy towards
other things - I have 3 opportunities for social events with Ron next week! It's
very unusual for me to even be contemplating this, let alone DOING them.
Today turned into an at-home day, so
I scheduled a needed haircut for tomorrow.
I was a bit nervous when I made the call. Yes, this feels a bit scary, but it's time to
start "test-driving" all my rehab work.
