Mindfulness and codependence thread
lighter:
I walked the Pug for an hour today. Was lovely and sunny and I didn't have a podcast running in the background. Just the forest and trail and pug.
At a point, I noticed a useless thought....meaning negative, popped into my head...and it bugged me, bc
all my parts are exposed to this toxicity. Like children, without choice. I have choices, though.
It reminded me to be more pristine with my thoughts.....not perfectly pristine, just more mindful, as habit, bc I can.

I catch it, before wasting much time, and bounce to better, more productive, things.
Hopalong:
I am bravely taking one capsule of lions mane daily, in hopes it'll help the focus.
Hear me roar!

sKePTiKal:
It should help Hops. But maybe there's a tea that would be more of a self-care ritual? That "reminds" you to focus?
Hopalong:
Good thoughts! Thanks for the tea ritual suggestion, Amber.
Lighter, I was just pondering how freaky I can be about some -- not all -- forms of alternative medicine, and remembering: my D did home hospice with her stepmom #1, who died in agony of breast cancer with a tumor that grew huge, bloody and suppurated, which the docs had begged her to let them remove early on via surgery. She had always believed rigidly that western medicine is all corrupt and untrustworthy (baby vs. bathwater), and it reminded me of people dying of covid while gasping that they didn't have covid. Her plan was to cure her cancer with crystals and white light and she never let it go.
If muscle testing can diagnose brain tumor, I'm so glad it told you No! I doubt you have it, but I'm a big believer in checking out recurring symptoms with specialists. A fancy scan was the only thing that could detect microvascular heart disease, and sho 'nuff. Ditto the main Rx, isosorbide mononitrate, which nearly overnight stopped the angina I'd struggled with for ages.
All that said, we all need what WE need, and you're right, each of us has to make our own choices and make peace with our own paths. I do wish they'd stop attacking vaccinations, though. It's going to be hell on so many children when measles does what it is made to do.
Be well, whatever works for you. I've got plenty of monitoring to do of my own health, and no legit need to poke my nose into others' medicine. (I do "send" people white light at times, which is for me just an agnostic form of prayer.) I'm also too fat, too feeble, and looking down the barrel at age 75 next month. Writing is on wall, question is: Will Hops read it?
hugs

I love the idea of daily tea ritual, Amber. It's two birds with one stone, yup yup yup. Drinking a tincture.....instead of coffee, for me, would be a three'fer, in fact.
Hops, I've shared my father's brain surgery story here.......my take, on that......it did more harm than good....huge mistake. There was no saving him from himself.
I'm Not opposed to Western medicine, but I know it's rooted in hubris and greed. That's problematic, esp since treating symptoms, at a profit, seems an imperative vs identifying causes and healing people, IME.
I'm glad you and your doc figured out the microvascular problem and Rx.....such a blessing.
