Life is pretty intense right now. The feeling of overwhelm lurks in every shadow. I'm working hard to stay grounded and not get caught in toxic mind traps. What techniques and tools do you use when the sad and mad and tired and powerless feelings come knocking on your soul?

One of the things stressing me out was my utter unpreparedness for Thanksgiving. I regard Thanksgiving weekend as the ultimate family time hibernation. I love it. LOOOVE it (even more with Christmas music). Today self care included making a list, going to Aldi and removing the stress of feeling not ready. Mission accomplished. Now a nap. #selfcare #orangejuiceformimosas #thanksgivingiscoming

Under the covers, reading, with a snack...and an audience. #selfcare #afraidofitemwatch #sorryemily #readinglibrarybookswhileIstillhaveadamnlibrary

I started pretending I wasn't asleep at 8pm and slept until 7am. I could climb back in bed right now and sleep another 12 hours. That and my near constant edge-of-tears feeling lets me know it's time to do some radically deliberate self-care, for longer than a day or two. 2018 has been an absolutely upending year in so many ways (I know I am not alone). I need to ground myself in some good things to balance the hard. #selfcare #grounding #shalom #rest #realityreset #theuniverseiskindevenwhentheworldisnt #emotionalabusesurvivor #spiritualabusesurvivor

Long ass day at the end of a long ass week at the end of a long ass year. I bought a damn Christmas tree today too. Salud. #cussingisgoodforyou #liquidgrace #akajkrowling #cormoranstrike #readinglibrarybookswhileIstillhaveadamnlibrary #dammit

Whaddya know. It DOES still shine. #4oclockwalk
