Strategies of mental adjustment
Posted by Lorena on 2/05/99
How do you keep your spirits high? How do you deal effectively with setbacks? How do you maintain balance? Do you find self-reflection/meditation helpful? Any innovations, strategies? Funny stories? Since I've been disabled with P-F (on crutches since 12/5) I've decided on a career change, started to read fiction again (Annie Dillard), spent more time on the phone with my friends, gone to art galleries in a wheelchair (the ONLY way to go, check it out), started a book, and learned HTML. I've also dissolved in tears, was depressed for a week here and here, and felt like I was going to explode. More recently I can feel what acceptance is like. A friend of mine suggested I use the time to look inward, and I think this has contributed a little to my physical healing process. What about you?
