Experiencing sadness & anger can make you feel more creative, and by being creative you get beyond your pain & negativity.

The experience of sadness and anger can indeed serve as a wellspring of creativity. By recognizing the potential within these emotions and channeling them through creative outlets, we not only navigate the depths of our own feelings but also inspire and connect with others on a profound level. So, the next time you find yourself grappling with sadness or anger, consider embracing the creative process as a means to transcend pain and negativity. In doing so, you may unlock a reservoir of creative resilience and emotional empowerment you never knew you possessed.

In the shadow of a narcissistic mother, overthinking becomes a relentless companion. Our minds, entangled in a web of doubt and self-criticism, analyze every word, every action, endlessly seeking validation and approval. The weight of constant scrutiny burdens our spirits, as we second-guess ourselves, afraid to make mistakes. Overthinking becomes a survival mechanism, but it also becomes a prison. Yet, within us lies the strength to break free. Let us quiet the noise, embrace self-compassion, and reclaim our worth beyond the judgments. Together, we rewrite the narrative, transforming overthinking into empowered self-reflection. #Overthinking #NarcissisticMother #ShadowOfDoubt #ValidationSeeking #SelfCriticism #BreakingFree #EmbracingSelfCompassion #ReclaimingWorth #QuietTheNoise #EmpoweredReflection #TransformingThoughts #BreakingTheCycle #InnerStrength #HealingJourney #EmotionalWellbeing #RebuildingSelf #RedefiningSelfImage #FindingPeaceWithin #UnburdeningTheMind #SelfLove #EmbraceAuthenticity #EmpoweredRecovery #ThrivingAfterNarcissism #InspiringChange #ReleaseAndLetGo #ReclaimingIdentity #SelfAcceptance #TransformingPain #BreakingTheChains

A New Perspective on Pain

I have scoliosis. Mine is a slight right bend at L3-4-5. L3 particularly wants to translate left. In doing so it tugs on the piriformis which in turn pulls on the greater trochanter. A tight piriformis hurts. Trochanter bursitis pain is excruciating and so is the pain and soreness of the iliotibial band which lies peacefully under the trochanter until the knee moves forward. I have been told that my left leg is slightly shorter than the left and that most people with leg length discrepancy will eventually develop scoliosis. Carrying kids on my right hip and heavy purses, computers, and book bags over my shoulder no doubt only worsened the situation. Being a runner for years without proper orthotics was also a contributing factor. Now I pay the price--for genetics, for ignorance. I can't walk for exercise without pain. Yoga helps. Steroid injections help--for a while. Chiropractic care helps. Nothing, however, has been a permanent fix. I am determined to continue serving others through teaching yoga. I will continue to be hopeful for a cure for my pain about which I have a new perspective. One of my students, a middle-aged author, stayed after class yesterday to say, "I needed that. I need you. I will.be back." I had an epiphany, a humbling epiphany, that God has always put me where I need to be in order to help others best. As a middle-aged woman with limitations, I understand the pain and vulnerability of others. My style is slow, gentle, old school yoga. Pain has been my best teacher. For that I am grateful. As Buddhist teachings say, I may be in pain, but I do not have to suffer.
