@stsopoci You certainly "hit the nail on the head" with your words. We are each unique, finding what works best for us at a given time. And I always need to remind myself that what helps today, may not have helped last week, or may not work next week. That is where the shared experiences come into play, we get to hear from others what has worked for them. We get new ideas, or learn something we were not sure will be helpful, was for someone else.

@brandysparks Be gentle on yourself! It's hard to be hard on yourself all the time. I've been there, and got the T-shirt! The frozen in place, hoping it will all blow over without me doing anything approach didn't do anything, either! I had to make myself get out of my own way, focus on the end result desired, and start plodding that direction. Daily perseverance. And when we get a little relief, we want more.

Going back & rereading this segment of our discussion, I'm reminded of how when I DO try, once again making the inexorable effort YET ONCE AGAIN, the feeling of accomplishment dissolves into the ether, and even the memory of the good feeling isn't enough to make it any easier, any smoother or any different from t h e last time....the parable & vision of Sysepheus pushing the interminably burdensome boulder up the mountain, only to have it roll back down - & often flatten you as it returns to its starting position, if not further behind than the last time.....Grrrr! And Arrrrgggh!
