Thank you! 🙏Videos are underway, hope to get part two out before the end of the week.

If that's a note of support; thank you! If that's a note of same boat, again a hearty thank you and a right-back-at-you.👊 Brains, ugh.

I honestly believe we have pretty much everything we need wherever we are. Nature is the answer to so much of life's nonsense. Been putting that cart through the ringer the last little bit, going to have to build some kind of a versatile wall system for it next, because while it's great for log hauling it falls short as anything else (unless I go nuts with the bungee cords and ratchet straps lol.

It's good, honest hard work and can be very cathartic. Plus what do they say? Firewood heats you twice! 🔥

No need to apologize at all! Makes me glad to hear that any of my nonsense could be something that helps someone out in any way. 👐

Breathing techniques for sure help, and we could probably swap app names like recipes lol. They helped me in the beginning and now I just drop into the breathing/meditations I found worked for me without even thinking about it when needed. (on a side note, it's actually a fun exercise to see how a 5-5-5-5 can drop your heart-rate on the Fitbit by giving yourself a few minutes of focused breathing). I'm glad you're feeling stronger with your techniques, and there's no rush. Take it as you take it. One of my favourite quotes is by Lao Tzu regarding nature; "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished". That one always make me smile. Nature; pfft, how'd she get so smart?

My doctor's goto is always a prescription and I'm not that down with that unless it's a last resort. Amazing how many people have been helped with more natural remedies, and when Canada legalized cannabis, a lot of people were able to get a lot of help more readily. My mother in law swears by a CBD/THC stick thing for her arthritic hands.. replaced medication on her part. If the THC is working for you, then I say "smoke 'em if you got 'em". Personally it has an unwelcome effect on me and I go straight paranoid lol, but I know it helps a lot of folks. Glad to hear that the breathing, exercise and eating properly are such a big part of your success. I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. If you're still getting up every day then you're strong as an ox in my mind and all the power to you; high-five yourself on that. If one day you don't feel like getting up, then take a day off, try again tomorrow eh? I'm happy to hear that my videos help in any way, and wish you all the best in staying strong, safe and moving forward.
