Screensaver

I want to read again so badly, I bought a book and a subscription to the Story-tell app. I try to read “Think like a Monk” by Jay Shetty, by listening and reading at the same time. It is already taking me months, and giving up isn’t an option for me. Many days it still doesn’t work, but on some days I manage to read two to four pages.

In the summer of 2020, doctors told me my reading ability would come back as soon as my physical health had improved. I got back a big part of my physical strength, and it made little improvements to my mental health. Still not enough to bounce back in the person I was at the beginning of the year.

For the past months, Covid-19 feels like it’s slowly killing me, taking away all my energy. Searching for answers to heal and cope in all possible ways the news of Jay Shetty’s 2021 Reset came to me.

It brought back a little positive energy to my life. It learns me to look at things from a different angle, which learns me to cope in a different way. There were two meditations that had a huge impact on me, that made me more aware of the pain inside me and the heaviness of the situation I’m in.

Taking care of myself has become my number one priority, by taking my MEDS. And embracing myself and my body for the hard work it is doing for me to get me through the day and fighting this virus. I even have it on my phone as a screensaver.

Giving my body the rest and sleep it askes for makes me able to prepare three healthy meals a day. If possible, I’m exercising, which means 5-10 minutes on my spinning bike or a short walk outside. And meditating a couple of times a week.
