Welcome, Aanya!
I’m with you
on ways to improve my life.
1. Good sleep schedule
2. Stay positive
3. Work out.
And I’m dealing with grief too,
but you’re right, the time to move forward is now.
We can’t relive the past.
Sending much love to you, Aanya!
Welcome dear Aanya! I am so sorry that you are grieving…We are so glad you are here…It seems you are very wise and thoughtful and us “old folks” will learn from you as well. Welcome and God Bless.
Welcome,
dear Aanya…
I think you are wise beyond your years.
As Michele said,
we all learn from each other,
and I’m sure
we will learn much from you
with love…♥
I need nourishment to give me energy, and I need nourishment to heal.
Almost two years ago my youngest sister passed from this life
and I’m still trying to find peace and acceptance around this.
I’m not there yet.
I’ve started a monthly grieving group through Kripalu.org.
I hope this will help me to find healing around my sister’s passing.
Other than that, I need to go to bed earlier and get up earlier.
That will give me more hours in the day
to do things I need to and want to do.
More productive time, more creative time
and time to rest, relax, and reflect.
That is what I need to do.
This night owl needs to change her ways.
Blessings to all on this first Sunday in December.
I was in a support group after my brother died. It was the best decision I made at the time. I thought I would be saddened by the stories of others. In a strange way I was uplifted.
Blessings to you, dear Mary. May all your creative time, rest and your dear friends may help to overcome the grief and may you be held in His Love and heal. Holding you in prayer, dear friend.
I think we all have sorrow that is hard to come to terms with ,
dear Amy,
so we are moved and touched by the process
as are you.
I hold you in my heart
and pray for your healing
when the time is right for you
with love . . . ♥
How can I bring more nourishment into my daily life? I need to nourish my whole being by staying in the present moment, breathing deep & just BE. Staying in the present has been a challenge as of late. Thinking about all the stuff I want to do, need to do, should do & all the distractions of technology has got me spinning.
I need to slow down & BE. I need to remind myself to be mindful. Be more aware of my breath. I need to limit my time with technology.
This is the nourishment I want & need.
Happy December All…🐰🐰
PKR, your statement that “thinking about all the stuff I want to do, need to do, should do & all the distractions of technology has got me spinning.” really resonated with me. That is often how I get stressed feeling as well. I have to keep reminding myself that I don’t have to do everything TODAY. It helps me when I take the time to write out just the top 4 priorities for the day and focus on those first before going on to other tasks or distractions. But I often have inner resistance to sitting down and writing down those priorities– part of me wants to think I can do everything and not put limits on it.
Today is the first day of the Christian celebration of Advent…we are getting ready to welcome Jesus. My spiritual nourishment (and also religious nourishment) has been lacking for awhile. I have returned to my religion and I am be filled with joy. I start my day with prayers and readings and then come to this site and all you wonderful people. This all fills me with the nourishment that I crave. I also get to look out my windows and see the snow covered earth and trees…no people…just silence. I am Blessed. Thank you all ..Have a greatday.
Physically, I’m pretty well nourished. Although I could always use more exercise. More walking would be a real benefit. Spiritually, I could always use more nourishment. Maybe more pauses. Maybe a mid day practice. As I think about this, it occurs to me, that really what would nourish me, is to be in the service of others. This isn’t very possible right now, as taking care of myself is kind of a full time gig. But hopefully in the future, this could happen.
I am so fond of getting to follow your process, Charlie….. you’re reflecting on the question and finding where that takes you. thank you – and best to you as you proceed. c
I wasn’t sure how to answer this, so I read other people’s answers to get some ideas. Howie Geib and Loc Tran’s answers got me realizing that my habitual way of thinking about nourishment is something routine, comfortable, and predictable. I love the idea of letting myself be nourished by variety, by apparent chaos, or when things don’t go as expected. So that is what I will try. “Be surprised,” as Brother David says.

Be in contact with music and the instrument. Be with my friends inside if not present. Meditating, be present. Be still. Open up.

That is exactly how I felt Yram.
I felt less alone in my sadness
when I heard people telling their stories of loss.
Blessings to you, dear Mary. May all your creative time, rest and your dear friends may help to overcome the grief and may you be held in His Love and heal. Holding you in prayer, dear friend.
Thank you dear Ose. ♥️

Thank you so much, Sparrow.
So sorry to hear about your sister Mary. I hope the grieving group helps you process and heal.
Thanks, Robin. The first session was already helpful.
Let go of anxiety and just BE.
