[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 612717, member: 13542"] Good morning Cedar. I read the article, thank you. It made me smile since just in the last 2 weeks, my older friend from another culture, as well as my acupuncturist told me that the next step for me is to simply [I]have fun, to find pleasure, to ENJOY. [/I] That comment in the article about cortisol flooding the body first thing in the morning rung true for me. I've noticed that and am trying to shift it. For a good part of my life, my first thoughts upon awakening were worry thoughts. Sigh. Now, I get a cup of tea and write in a gratitude journal and read a list of wonderful affirmations or positive statements. I just realized recently that I have a sensitivity to coffee which causes allergy like symptoms, some of them emotional, so I have stopped that practice (and I really liked getting up to a wonderful cup of coffee too!) I just started reading Brene Brown's book, [U]The gifts of imperfection.[/U]............it's exactly what I need to hear right now. I am trying to wean myself of striving, that "not enough" stuff has gotten old and I want it to go now...........bringing more pleasure in seems like a perfect antidote. I signed on to Mama Gena's Pleasure Intensive, thanks! [/QUOTE]
