One of the most hopeful things we know about the brain is that it can change.

Anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, fear, avoidance, and even the way you respond to stress are influenced by experiences.

This is the foundation of therapy.

Not becoming a different person, but helping your brain learn new ways of responding, connecting, coping, and healing.

Change rarely happens overnight.

But it happens.

Living Room Back

Yesterday I took the time to load up all the things from my living room and delivered it to my two daughters. I figure I’ve got nothing but time on my hands and they both work full time so I took the things over to them. My grandson was so thrilled with one of the guitars that he even had his mom stop on their way home from Sam’s Club yesterday afternoon to pick up the pics I forgot to give him. My granddaughter will get the pink electric guitar when she gets home from spending the week in Northern Arizona with her best friend’s family. My daughter was happy with all the Halloween decorations and entertaining things my sister never used like a football themed condiment set that had never come out of the box. That means I now have my living room back and I’m not looking at all the stuff just sitting there any longer. I got home from delivering things in enough time to fix dinner for my husband so he could head to bed. I took my ½ gram of Rick Simpson Oil around 4:30 pm and by 6:30 pm I was relaxed, high and ache free like usual for the evening. One of the local news stations is having a five part series on Monsoon storms that they put out each year for newcomers to the valley to understand the strength and magnitude some of these storms have and what they can do. Things like wind, dust, heavy rain, lightning and the causes of flash flooding. I watch the new ones each year to remind myself what can happen with these storms and usually learn something new. This morning my lower back was stiffer than 

usual, I’ve got the heating pad on high as I type. I’m pretty sure it is from loading all the things into my truck that is causing it. Nothing was heavy or over 10 pounds, it was just the lifting and carrying the things that gets me every time. Today I’ve got errands to run before it gets too damn hot out there with a high of 106 expected, it will be a warm one. I just checked the State website and my medical marijuana card has been approved and my new medical ID card is up and ready for use! It was approved yesterday so I’m good to go for another two years. I never had to leave my house, it was all done online and by phone. That was how easy it was to renew my medical card. It cost me a total of $250.00. $100.00 for the doctor’s “visit” and $150.00 to the state. When I look at the higher potency products that are available to me with my medical card and the money I save in taxes, that $250.00 every two years is well worth it in my opinion. I’m still going back and forth on increasing my daily dose back to ¾ gram to maybe help alleviate some of the aches in my sciatic that seem to bother me more often than not once I get close to my daily step goal. I had been using ¾ gram for a while and when the winter ended I dropped my dose down to the ½ gram I’m taking now. I’m not sure if my tolerance levels are going up or I’m being more active and my body is rebelling from it. Either way, all I know is I’m out of shape. I’m healthy, I’m just not in as good of physical shape as I’d like to be. My body just doesn’t want to play nice on some days and it frustrates the daylights out of me. I’m trying and that is all I can do at this late in the game. A few aches here or there are no big deal, they are just my body reminding me I’m still alive and to keep moving. It’s on the days that the ache in my sciatic becomes bothersome and keeps getting worse as the day goes on, I’m frustrated. Now that I’ve got my card renewed I can start watching for the THC gummies to go on sale so I can maybe use those on the days I’m more active than not to help with the aches. I know a 50 mg cube of THC gummy will take those aches away within the hour, I just haven’t bought any because they are expensive and I wait for them to go on sale and stock up then. You can bet I’m going to watch the sales this week! I know they will give me relief, I need to stop being so cheap and just buy them, but I’m on a budget that I like to stick to with marijuan if possible. All because I chose a plant over a pill. Thank you marijuana!

A Hard Question:
So the next time you dismiss Memento Mori as too dark for your vision board or morning routine, ask yourself: Are you avoiding death because you're afraid of it—or because you're afraid of admitting how little of your life you're actually living?

#MementoMori #Stoicism #Productivity #PersonalGrowth #Philosophy #MarcusAurelius #Seneca #Mindset #SelfImprovement #StoicWisdom (5/5)

Looking at your shadow self isn't weakness. It's the only path to real peace. Not the absence of conflict, but the strength to meet life with integrity. Stop fighting yourself. Start living.

“The Born”

The social influence of our day can never be wrong in some perspective of human decision making process. Leaders are born and some are trained leaders which makes the product of their kind different in the spheres of influence. The act of every leadership exercise is like when a baby is learning to crawl and not even learning to walk or talk in other to incorporate into the society. Learning is part of every process to growth in any given opportunity been given or available to us. The better […]
