[QUOTE="Acacia, post: 731599, member: 19832"] Somewhere, here are some things that help me: Tai Chi - Moving meditation works better for me than sitting meditation. I like Jake Mace on You Tube (he also does martial arts - just type in his name and tai chi for beginners). Books, always, especially ones that I can pick up and read an affiration or short reading Some of my favorites: [I]The Courage to Change - al anon When Things Fall Apart [/I]or any Pema Chodrin book [I]The Betrayal Bond [/I]- Patrick Carnes - about how we stay traumatized by previous situations Twelve step slogans and any quotes, sayings that either soothe or direct my behavior in a positive direction. I copy them into a journal that I keep by my bed Funny movies, so I remember to laugh Good novels and memoirs that show me how others have made their way and also get me out of my head, for instance, [I]All the Light We Cannot See [/I]and any Tracey Chevalier novel Being kind to myself - taking myself out for a treat, a movie - by myself every once in a while Hope that helps. Thinking of you. [I] [/I] [/QUOTE]
