I think I’m going to start calling my symptoms “cookie dough” in my head. I can’t get out the door because of my cookie dough. :)

Life is meant to be filled with joy. We just forgot how.

Don’t look at how far you have left to go. Look at what you’ve achieved so far.

Keep throwing TMS work at the wall and a lot of it will stick and gradually alter the way your brain functions. @BloodMoon

To get better: Step 1: eliminate fear —Step 2: eliminate doubt—Step 3: DO things — Step 4: Get some fun back

Be of good cheer! Find a way to smile today. This life is unpredictable. You might soon find yourself feeling better.

Getting better is not a perfect straight uphill line. It’s more like random zigzagging dots that slowly go up.

Every day I’m getting 1% stronger and in 1% less pain. :)

The fear of pain, physical activity, injury or spinal abnormality is enough to perpetuate TMS. John Sarno

The ONLY way out is through. Through the pain, grief, rage, stored trauma being released from your body. It all takes time.

Our biggest battle is mental. Getting my head in a good place each AM is critical. And HOPE is the top priority.

Your body is your inner therapist, always pushing you to know your real story; to make progress toward your central goals. Dan Ratner

“This TMS journey is not just about symptom relief, it's about life relief, and the bookend to trauma is power.” @miffybunny

Every short respite from fear calms your nerves, so your sensations become less intense, until they are only a memory. —Claire Weekes

You get what you think you deserve.

Nobody is coming to save you. Get up. Be your own hero. @JohnDellatto

Reading a good tale. Playing some fun games. Did my workout and dishes. Accepting where I am for today.

Lots of journaling yesterday. It started out sugary sweet. Nothing wrong. By the last page, I was getting somewhere!
