@rivermaya34 and all - I love this thread! Not sure how I missed it, but it deserves to be revisited.
My victories are simply living each day as it comes. Getting through the next 5 minutes and appreciating small wins allow for more attainable goals. Noting gratitude each morning even when I'm struggling, then balancing out the day with a planned attack helps. Scheduling has been helpful in holding myself accountable in the areas of self-care, physical activity, rest, socialization, distraction, meals, chores. Learning flexibility has been important because each day may vary and its important to remember to allow ourselves grace.
Small victories = a dose of dopamine. Here's some nice, natural drugs to help achieve those small victories. Win the day!
How have you won the day during the hustle and bustle of the holidays?

Wow. Thank you for sharing this. I sometimes need to be reminded that I do have good days, times when I don't even realize that my neuropathy is bothering me. I go on my day and accomplish most of my plans. Each day I am grateful for all that I have, my friends, my cats, my home and my overall general good health. I, too, have learned to take time, turn off the noise and be still and quiet. Learning to meditate was hard for me but I found there are many ways to meditate. Just find your own.
My victory is not letting neuropathy be the only thing in my life.
