For the past four days, I have felt more uplifted. This might be the case because I have been successful in developing routine, though I have more to do to make this truly effective for physical and emotional recovery from my health issues. I am satisfied with small steps and am thankful. Even though my health issues have been difficult while at Mayo Methodist Hospital and Mayo Clinic, I actually feel very positive about my experiences there because of the compassionate and professional employees from each Mayo department. Being part of a worshipping community where I live is also helpful.

This is such great news, @muriel66. Thank you for sharing with us. Being satisfied with small steps is so important. They make the bigger steps possible. To use a running analogy: Not everyday can be a marathon. Some days we have to count putting on the running shoes as a success. You may find these discussions on Connect to be interesting to read or participate in:

- Staying Motivated for the Long Haul https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/staying-motivated-for-the-long-haul/
While this discussion started about weight loss, the group is encouraging each other whatever a person's personal health goal is.
- How Spirituality Can Help Stress https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-spirituality-can-help-stress/
The title says it all. Lots of different people sharing many aspects of emotional and spiritual health and how it relates to physical health

Muriel, would you mind sharing one (or more) of the small steps that you've made and how it helped?
