I am genuinely not well and finding it hard to work right now. It frustrates my inner warrior, who wants to battle, but simply cannot. Just have to rest and recuperate. Have managed about an hour at the laptop today before feeling wiped out. Cumulative stress of battle has done me in. Lack of bullets and bombs easily arms the self-critic who says there are no valid invisible wounds in an unseen war. Have to consciously override that internal narrative and reject the self-denigration. It’s OK to have fought myself into a messy mush. More honourable than those who didn’t enter the arena and remain unblemished.
One of the best things you can do Martin is rest, hydrate, get some sunshine, eat healthy meals, laugh, clap, deep breathe, raise your hands and focus your mind on the Healer in heaven. Focus on everything you are grateful for, no matter how insignificant it might seem, like eyes to see, ears to hear, ability to walk, talk, understand etc. Get well! 😇
