Day Post plus War in Ukraine

[ernads]

Fifth day to the war on Ukraine. And I am more worried then ever. I trust Putin just am much as I trust Trump,regarding their ability to restain themselves from misusing their nuclear arsane. Just the thought of Putin sitting there with his thumb on the nuclear switch...shudders .

Meanwhile I continue the struggle on both the mental and the physical fronts. I am utilizing several cognitive tool in order to monitor my statuse, attempting to improve my limited ability to be aware of my own limits and ability to function. Slight improvement there, but it will take at least 10 more days to improve,and a lifetime workout to maintain some stability. I've managed to build up a tiny amount of hope and self compassion, mostly through the wonderful mindfulness course with Jack Cornfield. I've loved him since the first time I read The Wise Heart, and hearing his actual voice is some experience. Highly recommended. (If anyone wants a link let me know).

So,that's that for now. Still little progress on the CFS front, but at least I understand how to pace myself now, and that's definitely an improvement. Considering my very low starting point this one will take at least a year,probably more.

Here's for hoping for a good night's sleep.

Worrying takes up lots of resources too... if you can compartmentalize the Ukraine worry, it may help with the other stuff.

You're right. Thanks

I like to think that pusface’s generals won’t let him use nuclear weapons; he’s just trying to scare people but he’d die with everyone else, or if he has a secret bunker, his death will be longer and more lonely. Despite what they might think, the wealthy of this world will not survive much longer than the ordinary citizens because people need a society for support.

Try not to worry about what you cannot change; it will do you no good and may do harm.
