[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 642163, member: 18284"] Thank you all for your kind replies and for the music link you sent, GM (good song). Last night I had a good, long workout. Then a good, long cry. Then a good, long sleep with good, long dreams. This morning I feel more refreshed. More able to step back onto the path of Radical Acceptance. I've been taking Yoga for a time now and really enjoying it on several levels. One of them is the concept of Radically Accepting my mind gently drifting back and forth between chaotic energy and homeostatic/peaceful energy. I used to try to throw big lassos on my chaotic feelings. That's still my tendency. However, I am learning that gently letting them return to a state of peace works better. Chaotic feelings don't need chaotic lassos to return. I'm reminded of MLK's quote, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness -- only light can." In that same way, I learn more how chaos cannot drive out chaos -- only peace can." So, it's an ebb and flow process. But it's pretty impressive letting the ebb return to a flow after a good sleep. I tell ya, I am so thankful to be able to sleep deeply. And that is my gratitude this morning -- for refreshing, cleansing, rejuvenating deep sleep. I took today off of work and am just gonna chill and pamper myself a bit. Feels like the perfect day for that. Thank you all for listening and encouraging. I appreciate your words! [/QUOTE]
