Activating myself

[Hope67]

Hi Blueberry,
I also enjoy the feeling when old items of clothing find a new home - it is a nice feeling.  Glad you found some items that you wanted as well.

Not very active today or yesterday. Today I remembered there's quite a bit going on tomorrow and Sunday and that I often slow down in advance of busy days. So that feels better, remembering why I might be acting like this.

Makes sense to me Blueberry. In a bit of a similar spot today myself. Saving energy for tomorrow, allowing myself to take things easy today. Good luck tomorrow (and today)

blueberry, i actually do this a lot.  like storing up energy for what's to come.  also downtime afterwards.  i think you're achieving good energy management, which equals good self-care.  love and hugs

It sounds very sensible to slow down a bit in advance of busy days.

Thank you all, I tend to forget how useful downtime in advance is for me and get self-critical about not doing much. I've been on my sofa much of the day and my dreams have been crazy and wild, so there's been something going on under the surface too. Plus my landlord and his son-in-law have been here building stuff outside, which is a bit triggering for me tho they're not doing anything wrong.

Glad you could take today easy! I took it relatively easy today, too. Always managing the battery. There's wisdom in that.

The landlord making noise outside would be very triggering for me too! if it's ok, I hope there is some respite from the sounds, whether you can drown it out with music or the sound of ocean waves, or take a little walk as a break.

Hooray for exercise!

Hmm. Foot and toe exercises aren't quite the same as exercise! Somewhere you will find a thread I started for those of us who feel 'allergic to exercise'.

I haven't really continued with my foot and toe exercises, what else is new? Well, keeping going with all sorts of things is one of my major difficulties.
The past few days i've been curled up in the fetal position for reasons which may be apparent for those reading my journal on the private part of the forum. What I have been managing though is to at least wiggle my toes and do ankle rotations, and foot forward and back (at ankle), which is supposedly a particularly important exercise for my foot problems.

It's more useful in the short, medium and probably even long-term to look at what I manage as opposed to what I don't.
