The pics you see are what I see, when I'm
sitting listening to audio books... there's also (not pictured) a desk with my
Talking Books audio player, my iPad, some photos, and a desk with my computer.
The big sign is the newest... I wanted
reminders... here's what they mean to me -
1) Breathe - is my breathing too shallow,
tight? Time for diaphragmatic/belly breathing.
2) looking soft is a reminder re my vision
disorder -taking in my periphery, not getting tunnel vision - unless of course
it's appropriate.
3) small pieces - each bit builds on another.
4) celebrate EVERY success - no matter how small - I'm working on giving
myself credit.
5) do the best you can in THIS moment - do
the best with what I have right now.. my physical and/or emotional well-being,
info, experience in the moment... Thinking this way, feeling centered in the
moment, is definitely a work in progress for me.
6) keep going, trying - this is really
hard... I'm trying, could be something small, but feels tough - to tell myself
"OK, you're going to try...".
Writing this piece, I realized how much I
over-think, over-analyze, and judge myself. I need one more reminder, in a
special spot all its' own - it will read -
"Be patient, compassionate with
yourself".
Here's a definition of compassion -
"sympathetic pity and concern for the
sufferings or misfortunes of others" -
so having self-compassion is basically concern
for your own suffering and, hopefully, healing.
