It’s so important to take care of ourselves during this time. We are each valuable to the movement, and our inner world often becomes our outer world. It’s vital we find positive ways to relieve tension.
I had a spontaneous family circle, sitting on the carpet some time ago. Family that hasn’t always seen eye to eye. We shared first and favorite memories of each other. This felt good and gave me a flying dream that night.
What about you? Think back to a time you felt free with good laughter.
Ive been making a conscious effort to do this for a year. Go for a walk...jump in the ocean...go have a drink. I’ve learned to relax this year & have lost 100 pounds.
Way to go, Misschelle!
That’s amazing! Sungazing and conscious breathing are my body’s best friends and I’ve been using public parks and libraries more.
You really took this nutty time and steered your own destiny to the best possible outcome. You could have been paralyzed, but you weren’t. You just kept moving forward. Blessings.
Has losing that weight changed how you perceive anything?
Thank you!!! I decided in april 2020 that if everyone was gonna get sick, i needed to make sure to look out for #1.
I am so much more relaxed, i sleep better, am less emotional, and my confidence level has risen. It was Sarah Connor time!!
The best part is that i have hardly visited with any of my friends since the plandemic started...Ive been skinny for a year, and they have no clue 😆
Welcome to the 100lb club! I also decided to get in shape and shaved off 100lbs.
Doesn't it feel great?
Super happy for you!
Feels wonderful! Im 45 and haven’t been this size since i was 14 😆
Congratulations!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks to God, I am blessed with a beautiful family. So my wife and I are able to have fun at home with our kids and decompress almost on a regular basis. We used enjoy going for rides through the mountains but money is tight now so we make due at home. Having bible study together is the most effective form of decompression and fun in my opinion.

I love music, most types but not todays rap. Although Sugar Hill Gang had a good one in the 70s Rappers Delight.
Recently added listening to uplifting Christian songs in Elevation Worship and some select foot stomping Patriotic Country tunes Creed Fisher. Outside tunes can go from Ave Maria to 30 days in the hole Humble Pie. Kitchen music is softer type of music.
The more mournful historic tunes like Abraham, Martin and John by Dion, Buffalo Springfield Steppenwolf resonate and give me sense of perspective.
Love to entertain friends and make fantastic foods like fresh Bolognese sauce...still do but guest list shrinking. Cleaning up after my 3 pups can be relaxing....love the smell of lysol in the morning. Got so demotivated once just poured the lysol in hot water stirred it up and left it in dining room for the fragrance of clean and of course the added ambience...

Every day. Fuck these Fuckers. Their misery will not rule my world. Now if only the overseeding at the golf course would be over and they can open.
I was watching this a few days ago. I think I’d seen it before, but for whatever reason it triggered my laughter to the point I had a hard time breathing.

I lift weights, Starting Strength Method. Helps a lot. A few weeks ago I began to shoot slingshots on targets in my garden, that's a very relaxing activity.
I talk to my wife, my children, I spread love instead of fear and agression like the rest of the outside world seems to do. I pray. I talk to God.
I'm calm most of the time, I just trust the plan. There's some folks that trigger me, I rage (mildly), then I remind myself of the good I have in my life, then I leave.
There was a situation today in a discussion with a covidiot (my sister in law), I already met her yesterday, but today it got worse. She's a defender of vaxxes, masks, testing, whatever. Half a year ago this would have ended in a serious situation, today, now, I just leave one or two sharp statements and just leave. It's not worth the effort anymore, I spent too much time discussing with people who don't want to listen.
Those Anons in the prayer thread are really awesome at making me feel welcomed. So it’s been to decompress there and with the memes.
Slipknot concert a week ago
Every night.
It’s bow hunting season in Texas, so I get to get out to the woods every weekend and relax with nature as the playlist. Then I drink a couple of cold beers and listen to some tunes while I cook and eat steaks before going to bed early enough to wake up and get in the stand before first light.
