When I was having some desperate moments yesterday because of sleep deprivation (among other stressors), I found “First-Aid for Desperate Moments” online at Sundown Healing Arts, with these helpful phrases from Sonia Connolly, LMT, Reiki Master:
“I give thanks for help unknown already on the way.”
“It ended.”
“This problem is already solved.”
“I am doing the right thing.”
“What if this isn’t mine?”
“Don’t go to the hardware store for milk.”
“Don’t compare your insides to someone else’s outsides.”
“I am already good enough.”
“I don’t need fixing.”
“It’s okay to be where I am right now.”
It was more than okay to be at Sonia Connolly’s helpful website.
I would like to believe that, as a group and individual therapist, I provide first-aid for desperate moments, too.
Here are some moments from yesterday:
Dining out near the ocean is definitely first-aid for desperate moments and so is music I love. Here’s “First Circle” from the Pat Metheny Group:
What is your first-aid for desperate moments?
Gratitude is an aid for any moment, so thanks to all who helped me create today’s post and — of course! — to YOU.
