Routine is important to me. I think routine is important to everyone. Something that axes as a fulcrum or pivot.
I don't know if there is some kind of exercise group you could get into. So you feel less puffy and bloated and more in control of yourself.
Food can be hard, too, without money. Then food becomes a source of comfort and they are foods that send you on an emotional rollercoaster and have you feeling horrible and bloated and sleepy as well.
I remember how good I feel when my food is in order and my exercise is in order and I have resources to get the resources I need and things feel good and perhaps even a little optimistic or on the up...
But I also know for sure how it feels to be stuck in a swamp. Or how it feels to be sucked down into the bog. Downwards spirals and no idea how to get out or up or off... Trapped. Helpless. Hopeless.
All of those things tangled together... It can be hard to know which needs to change for other things to start to change.
I don't mean to be 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' at all. I know it isn't as simple as that. But I do think there is something to the idea that you do what you can on the things that you can.
Something about having the strength...
Hmm...
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I can.
And the wisdom... TO know the difference.(((Jay)))
