As with others, this video hit the mark. I always watch for you on KZfaq, but also get notifications on Instagram. I will look for you on facebook here in Texas. When I see so many of your followers resonating with your “blahs” videos, I start wondering if it has to do with the lunar cycles. But I so appreciate your reminders and even new takes on how to get thru to the other side. If my head cooperates, I can usually be the boss of how my body responds. Have a very blessed day. Enjoy your company.

Thank you so much, Dianne! I watch you on KZfaq, to answer that question. I actually hadn’t watched your videos of late, but this one came at just the right time today. It’s Saturday. And I’m feeling in a funk. I think there’s a combination of lots of expectations that are feeling paralyzing to me. Getting outside is a tip that I know and that’s some thing that I have to force myself to do for some reason. How to make it more normal for me and something I just do? Once I get out I feel good about it but there’s always something to do in the house, or I get into social media, or whatever. I’m totally flexible for the most part, having no family, just cats, who do you want me to be at home regularly… And on holidays? Nothing that “pulls me out“ necessarily externally. How to orient myself? Yesterday I took a drive and had coffee at the restaurant of a really nice hotel, overlooking a lake, it was beautiful and felt very nice. how does it get even better than that? What fun can I have today? (T 1/3 )

I was sitting here over tired and overstimulated from an all day event with our church yesterday. At this "season" in life, it's just too much in one day for me. I just wanted to zone out, but you mentioned feeling like "porridge" and blah. Yep. What's next??? I listened and got up and got a snack ( I was hungry but didn't notice that), then hugged my kitten and now going to go for a walk. Thank you. For sharing your struggle and reminding me about self care. PS Your video notification comes through your blog via my email. So grateful for that.
