RE: 💙 Ulog #1 (Journal) Facing Chronic Pain & Losing Hope 💙
Good to air such feelings - I'm not sure the cult of positivity is always helpful; to reach the next mountain peak sometimes requires going deep into the valley first. The positive emotions come from a sense of progress and developing insights. There are also a number of practical things. Have a look at Dr Tent videos on so-called autoimmune conditions and follow the trail to the importance of diet and exercise; for the simplest possible meditations, I'd suggest Mantak Chia's taoism books.

Thank you @rycharde ...I truly appreciate the advice and the recognition. It's very true that in order to feel positive emotion and harness the benefits...one must go through steps and stages to reach the peaks. The accurately named positivity cult will have you believe that you can skip all of the stuff in between and float right up the mountainside through willpower alone. I am super guilty of falling into this habit of thought...and get a slap from reality now and again. The tricky part is knowing how to progress with so much 'false media' and self help scams. I never really know where to look for the proper guidance. I am very interested in checking out the Dr. Tent videos and Mantak Chia books though. As for autoimmune conditions...I apparently have three of them but have always wondered if they actually originate from the same source and are merely different manifestations of the same problem.
sorry, should have put a link to the video:
See if you like his style ;-)
It's late here - back tomorrow - most so-called AIs are triggered by something foreign, so worth thinking back to when it (or they) all started.
Thank you for the link! <3
