Event- I was awaken to a wonderful mothers day suprize by my grandson. He brought me down to the kitchen where I was met by my husband and son who created a wonderful mothers day breakfast for me and my daughter. After breakfast I went to lie down and sleep a little bit further since it was quite early. I slept and then woke to to symtoms.
Symtoms- anxiousness, lowered feeling,tightness in my chest, light headedness. I have abusy day ahead with family for a sweet 16 and mothers day party. I had an impluse to stay in my insecure thinking and not move my muscles.
Right now I am moving my muscle to overcome the defeatism of the brain, changing insecure thought to secure ones and remember I have no control over my feelings and sensations. They are very distressing right now but not dangerous. It isn't how how I feel, it's how I funtion
Before Recovery I would have given into my feelings and sensations, cried and felt sorry for myself and might have cancelled the family party. I would have have complained and worked my family up.
I self endorse for moving my muscle and changing my thoughts, not complaining and anticipating having fun at the party! My symptom have subsided quite a bit! |

Kathleen is making a business out of her mental health, it is not a game.
She chose to be self-led rather than symptom-led.
She was group-minded by controlling her speech muscles.
She functioned in spite of her symptoms.
She commanded her muscles to do the things she feared and hated to do.
We get well in direct proportion to the amount of discomfort that we are willing to bear.
Discomfort is to be humbly tolerated, patiently borne, and bravely faced.
Kathleen can endorse herself for the big improvements made in Step 4.

There's some big gains between steps 3 and 4.
Kathleen chose to become group-minded toward her family.
She became a leader to herself.
A self endorsed person is a secure person.
Accept or reject: Imagination on fire as to the day's events ahead.

It's average to not want to move muscles on her mother's Day.
She was group-minded in following through with plans when she could have been individual-minded.
not doing much on Mother's Day was a want,not a need.
She bore the discomfort until discomfort passed.
she planned, decided, & acted even on Mother's Day.
situatuion after breakfast was distressing but not dangerous.
Feelings rise & fall if we do not attach danegr to them.

Kathleen has come a long way in her Recovery training. She controlled her speech muscles. The resolution of the muscles overcomes the defeatism of the brain. We can drop all judgements for the sake of our own mental health.
She used her spottings and then had a good Mother's Day - good job!
Our natural responses may be immune to changing, but they are amendable to spotting. |

I spot here that Kathleen was out of routine nervous persons abhor change and despise routine.
I spot family are strong links even when they are good.
I spot that we can do things to get well not wait to get well.
I spot improvement over former days.
Practice practice practice that always does it!! |
