I found this very helpful. I’ve been thinking about how, if not actually groaning, a conversation laden with descriptions of various aches, pains or other symptoms, rarely makes me feel better, so I’ve been trying to save them to use only in clinical settings where they actually serve a purpose.

This was both helpful and transformative - thank you! I will definitely be telling my brain “I am aware I have an injury, but I don’t need so muc alerting”…. 🙏

This just landed in my lap at the perfect timing. I was just thinking how to go about at achieving a big goal and I listened to your gem. I knew about the prioritisation - that's my recent learning. Nothing gets done without proper and constant prioritisation. But I missed out on the plan itself. Thank you 🙏

This one is a gem. Having fell in the same trap like those nurses when I was younger, I can only attest how much misery it brings. I now try to live in how things are and accept what comes. It is hard at times, but then there is no effort required to change it. Although I used a very similar method to get out of my misery at work - to start, stopped feeding the negative thoughts and beliefs and then looked for positives and tried remembering them and keep them in the forefront of my mind. Then the (gradual) magic happened - the misery left 😊

I never thought of of dream cost. But, when I think about it. - everything does have a consequence. Whether it's an action or inaction, taking this route or that, so why not dreams? Thank you for sharing 🙏

WoW! Your droplet for me was like the kurplunk of a rock breaking still water! What a wake up. 5 years ago my Dad passed and Mom followed him 2 short years later. Until thi very moment, I have forgotten the messages my Mother spoke to me after she passed. I heard ‘I’m giving you your freedom’, ‘I’m setting you free’, ‘you are free’. I felt it, each time it happened for probably a few months and then it just stopped. Since then I have found myself daily/nightly, sometimes struggling, trying to make sense of my childhood upbringing. The anguish I carry within is overwhelming at times. I had never even considered the possibility of ‘cutting the ties that bind’ until I heard your track here this am. Thank you for putting this out there 💫 where I able to find it! I will return to this as my reinforcement. What an awakening this am. So much gratitude Dr. 🙏💛

A great reminder of what we can be in control of (our thoughts) and what we might not (pain). It isn't to say that the latter may not disappear eventually or reduce when the moaning stops. We are powerful human beings 🙏

Thanks for this. My folks have passed, but they were such strong personalities that I still need a reminder to be my own person sometimes.
