Thanks for ths today, I am healing from a large surgery and feel overwhelmed with feelings I want to help myself but don’t know how right now. A short walk after meals is allowed. I am struggling to do that. Then I berate myself. Cycle. Thank you.

Thank you so much that article is very very helpful, I developed secondary cancer after initial cancer therapy and a year of ‘doing everything right”. I don’t know where to turn now. All the right things as we know them did not work. Many of these topics within this essay relate directly to how I am feelng. Ty.

It’s like you read my mind this morning, lol. I have been thinking about a habit loop that I have gotten into and would like to change. Late afternoon is a snack loop for me - salty, sweet, salty, sweet. It’s a very automated habit - a bunch of impulses that I can’t seem to stop responding to in an unhealthy way. And, honestly, other than this loop I am a fairly healthy eater. My energy is low at this time of day so the interruption can’t require much energy. It occurred to me that it might help to sit down with a glass of water and write an intention for the afternoon. Just one page in my journal - a reset to help me interrupt this cycle. I have put a reminder on my calendar and will try it starting today.
