Why is this Happening FOR Me?

The woo in me is like, “OK Universe, I get it already!” Lately I’ve had one depleting condition after another - first pneumonia, then the foot thing, then the horrible depression, then the back thing, now a cold. Seriously?

Plus, I have not lost those ten pounds and in fact have gained a couple more. And, even the kittens seem to have unhealthily bulked up — or, are cats just much much heftier than kittens?

Anyway, it could be worse. And, well, I’d prefer to feel better. The woo says, “Why is this happening FOR me?” So I look at the opportunities presented by being forced to be more still, more alone, and less physically able and energetic than I like to be. And I think it’s maybe partly kind of this:

I can’t outrun my feelings.

As unappealing and hideous and self-indulgent as my Inner Critic Evie says it is, it’s time for me to “Feel it to Heal it.” My first thought continues to be, “Yuck, no thanks!”

My second thought is more hopeful, like, “What would it feel like to feel safe and at home in my mind body?” And even, “I can see how feeling safe being me might be possible.” I’m gonna keep going.
