We do find ourselves having to continually deal with grief and loss and it was heary warning to hear that you are getting better at circuit breaking. I know that when I start feeling a bit lost that my concentration levels plummet and I become disorganised.
I do feel like I harp on about the 8 dimensions and gratitude and being able to live well in spite of (not in the angelic sense of harping). I think they are a continuous process and as we get better at them our resilience improves. At the moment the physical side of things Is problematic for me, am comfort eating and have not made an appointment for 'secret women's business' as it involves a trip to the big smoke and it is all too hard at the moment. Have got heaps better with our budget and am not feeling any guilt in saying no to things we don't need (esp since decluttering) or if expenditure is not aligned with our financial goals. We have income appropriate allocated amounts allowed for things like food, clothing, transport, gifts, home expenses , etc and by having these documented it gives me permission to spend up to that $$ amount whilst feeling in control and that I am not going to break the bank. I am enjoying the challenge of this at the moment (not sure I will feel the same when I will have to manage on my own ☹️).
Gentle encouragement to keep chipping away, now that restrictions are being lifted would it be appropriate to take a picnic lunch and do a little stroll at a nearby park or wetland to get you both out the house for a short while?
