I falter. I try to live this and have unconsciously memorized quotes from it. Definitely one of my favorite books which I highly recommend for anyone. #favoritebooks

On the Couch | Alisa Kwitney

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by tonight‘s evening on the couch in pajamas with gyoza (& fried rice) reading a current read with Pride and Prejudice on in the background (1995 BBC). Self care by relaxation.🥟💛 Excuse the bad lighting.

Weekend Evening In

Couch, Saturday night
Gyoza, book, movie‘s glow
Perfect evening spent

Survival Lessons | Alice Hoffman

“Good fortune and bad luck are always tied together with invisible unbreakable thread. When it comes to sorrow, no one is immune.”

Alice, like me (19 years in remission) and thousands of others, is a breast cancer survivor. A re-read provides a lovely reminder of what‘s really important.

Coping Skills: Tools & Techniques for Every Stressful Situation | Faith G Harper

For a bit of self-care, I decided to go out for brunch & then check out this little bookstore, Birdie Books. Unfortunately, I forgot what happens to my stomach when I've been stressed. Brunch was a little too rich, though 100% delicious, & I was about halfway through this very cute & eclectic bookstore when I had to quickly pay for my books (including the tagged book) & leave 🤢 Maybe I'll go back next weekend.

How to Keep House While Drowning: 31 Days of Compassionate Help | Kc Davis

Thanks for inviting me to join the #WDNCW club @dabbe ! Thought I‘d combine it with a haiku because, well, why not? 😆

We really don‘t care
the floor is covered with hair;
it can stay right there.

We do not care that the house hasn‘t been cleaned in a month because I dislocated my hip and have been gimping around ever since. We do not care that my hair is everywhere. I‘ll vacuum tomorrow! 😵‍💫

(This is maybe going to be a long post)

This is totally a #blameitonlitsy - it just kept on appearing and appearing and appearing in my feed. So who am I to fight Reading Destiny? And yes, it was a good thing to listen to it. RD knows what I need.

Because I so, so needed that book. It's short and easy to read, and it has to be. It's written for people in very dark places and those often don't have the strength and energy to read big books. ⬇

Jari-chan You can skip and browse as you like and need it.

The way of deconstructing what makes you unhappy about your cho- I mean, care works, is basically the same as the one I did when I was fighting my ED. But it never occurred to me that I needed to this with my relationship with care work as well.

Even though my therapist told me to go easy on it, to think that it‘s okay that not everything‘s done, it only ever worked a little bit. ⬇ 4mo

Jari-chan It still stressed me out. A lot. That‘s why I read this book. I never realized how much shame I connected to it. That I have to learn to see my dirty floor as neutral. That it doesn‘t make me a bad person or a failure.

Wow, so much learning. But it‘s already starting to do it‘s wonders. I‘m more relaxed, more accepting. And it feels wonderful.

AmyG A good book to read. I was the same. Then I began what I called “triage”. What was the most important thing to do first and so on down the line. I also learned that I am my best friend so I talked to myself with kindness and compassion-and I learned to trust myself. It all gets done eventuallly. Your “care works” are not you. 4mo

Jari-chan @AmyG I'm happy to hear that you've learnt so much and are hopefully better now 🫂💖 4mo

AmyG Thank you….I am so better. 4mo

MaleficentBookDragon I‘m glad this book is helping you. My therapist recommended this book to me after I read Divergent Mind (another she recommended). They both have really helped me with understanding myself and to start letting go of shame. It‘s a work in progress.
