First of all I totally ...That is so great my dear! First of all I totally LOVE How I Met Your Mother ... and frankly I have missed a lot of it this season so the chance to catch up sounds heavenly if you ask me!!!!!!<br /><br />I do agree though that it is easier said than done but it is soooo important! We forget how stress can wreak such havoc on our bodies ... and going through this is a MAJOR stress. Allowing ourselves time to heal, emotionally and physically, in my opinion is crucial. You are tired, exhausted, emotionally drained .... and one way to baby yourself and compassionately love yourself is to allow yourself to just do nothing. Do what makes you happy ... or better yet, watch some mindless tv that lets you escape in a fun world and laugh. You can momentarily forget all the shit in your life, and the self growth that we must do, and the past, and the present, and the future and the blah, blah, blah ... it's all enough to make your head spin!!!<br /><br />So, relax my friend ... you've been through enough and you DESERVE IT! Escape in some TV (I do it with my crazy obsession with ya paranormal romance books - oh how I love to escape in those) ... enjoy the uncomplicated lives of the awesome characters in How I Met Your Mother (my fav is Barney - LOVE HIM!) .... and just chill! You not only deserve it, but you NEED IT! I did ... and I don't think I would be mentally as strong as I am today if I didn't allow myself that time!!!<br /><br />I hope you listen to your therapist ... she is soooo right!!!!!Mishka_Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112251033786344354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221411310103222514.post-72448247038283001772012-05-26T20:46:15.985-07:002012-05-26T20:46:15.985-07:00Great article.

My therapist is encouraging me to slow waaaaaay down and allow myself the liberation and joy inherent in doing nothing. easier said than done!!! thanks for the reminder ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
