I just started to accept that even if things stay the way they are.. I’m gonna make the best of it and be a happy person ❤ And by doing that I find myself more calm too! Thanks Dan for the persistent encouragement against the persistent pain 😀❤️
Usually, any thought that starts with "what if" is not going to help you. And I do it when my anxiety symptoms are worse, making them even stronger. It is a cycle. 😢
Well yesterday I was so looking forward to adding another lap. Years ago I used to run 10 miles three times a week and I loved it! So I did my fifth lap! towards the end of the night my feet,legs and knees got numb! What a fun time but thanks to your daily videos, I just rolled with punches, but I made it through. Thank you again! You are truly awesome!
Yes this is the biggest obstacle to me the fear of all things future with too much pain- haven’t even scheduled much in almost 3 years because of it. Working on it.
I talked myself to sleep last night with kind words and comforting words until I feel asleep and when I woke up in the morning the sciatica pain was gone - it did act up again later in the morning but I recognized from what I did last night before I went to sleep, that if I calm the nervous system down with comforting kind words to myself like I am talking to a child - the pain can reduce or leave. I'm also started some Nicole Sachs journaling and I binged all day on Dan Buglio videos today. I realized over these past few weeks that I need to give up tik tok and social media because all that information of world disasters, NYC crime, politics and scary clips of films is making my brain try to protect myself from the onslaught of negative information. Social media is really so toxic especially with the election coming up. I need unplug but really unplug. So I did not watch any of it today and will attempt day by day to stay away from it. I was addicted to it.
My life has been what if for omg probably 40 yrs. And what if a car accident, what if…. Anything. So since only found you 2 days ago, still really trying to figure all this! But oh to be rid of that what if be fantastic. Thanks this helps. I just have to go find how to start all this. Thanks again Dan!
Yes! Dan I didn’t think I had these fearful thoughts but I DO! Especially when you said about the restaurant. It’s like it’s lingering in the back of my mind before I even go. Thank you for this! Would love to hear more examples of fear to fully understand every aspect of it.
I have a different though. Workout what is the worse that could happen THEN have a strategy to cope with, what is now, plan B. Then go for plan A. Airline pilots😢 have one or two other carefully calculated alternative airports to land at.
How do you predict you will be ok when my situation with pain is always there and always worse when I try to travel or go to an event, can it really be better just because I think it will .
