I started this on another computer, but got distracted so I'm trying again. I guess I'll talk about minor annoyances. They're mostly all mental blocks. Why get down on myself already? I'm doing the freewrite, ain't I? I got things I want to do and I'm already anticipating that I won't get as much done as I want to. I mean I want to finish all the tasks... or rather, I suppose I want them to be done. I... have to use hope.. Lol. I listened to a quarter of a podcast about hope as a practice and now I think I'm an expert.
No, but here's the useful thing I've already gained. It's not that I have to BELIEVE that doing a thing will lead to another thing...it's that hoping it will even without knowing can be motivation to do it. I don't have to fight with worry that it won't. I know it might not. Do it anyway because you hope it will. Does that make sense? Like, I hope writing Gentle Werewolf will lead to other good things in my life. I suppose I can also reframe it as "Gentle Werewolf DOES lead to other good things" even if it's not good, it's still good to write it. Le sigh.
Why le sigh? Just a habit I suppose. Like c'est la vie and trying to think of multiple examples when only one actually came to mind.

Ticked off. The other version of this was about being ticked off at lyme disease.
I suppose I'm ticked off at disease in general. And at bodies not being at peak performance. I was running every day and enjoying it, and then my foot started hurting, and there doesn't seem to be any cure except NOT running, and that's very annoying. And it spirals me. I want to run, but I don't want my foot to hurt. Very annoying. And I don't do other things for my body as well when I don't run.
Try rolfing. It cured my intractable knee pain when nothing else worked. And I mean nothing. I had tried orthopedics (quackery), PT, homeopathy, and therapeutic massage, Thought I might never walk without a limp again. And it all went away with rolfing after a few sessions. I kept it up, and the pain has never returned. Highly recommend!!
Yikes! Rolfing scares me! It was plantar fasciitis that rolfing worked on? Awesome!
The closest to a diagnosis I got was from the orthopedist. He said "your arthritis is acting up" which I knew was incorrect. Rolfing does not hurt, if you ask me. Maybe my guy was really good at it. I don't ever want to live without it though. Any pain I have had since, and there has been less of it, has been CURED by rolfing. I'm pretty old. I swear by this stuff. Stopped going to chiropractic entirely, and I'd done that regularly for at least 40 years.
In any event, I hope you can walk pain free again soon!
Wow! That's a tremendous endorsement! I'll see if I can get a local referral.
