@pedrov57 I'm sorry for your suffering but touched by your desire to focus on what you can do and in wishing us all good thoughts! Focusing on the positive with a clear perspective (clear, in brain fog?!) is so helpful! Everything can go wrong and we can still find gratitude in the circumstance. It takes the sting out of our problems and gives us energy. Choosing cheerfulness is a powerful way to boost energy in our lowest times. Reflecting on the good in our past, saying "What else could go right?" and meaning it, and finding good will for others, deserved or undeserved, gives us power and energy and got me out of my lowest physical points when weakness meant I couldn't see my teen daughter after school because if she complained about her day it sucked the energy I had left and I couldn't even make a sound. I was so weak I could hardly breath. Post Viral Syndrome (long Covid) hadn't been discovered, and I lay there for months on end. After 18 months I could leave the house. I could get back in shape. I started to live again. And I'm so grateful I learned to harness gratitude!
