Title: Gift Wrapped Brain Post by: Diligence on April 05, 2013, 02:57:21 PM I resist change while knowing that I need it. Replacing habitual coping skills with new ones is tough.
This morning an image popped into my mind. I pictured my brain nestled in a fancy gift box. I perceive this image as a representation of how important caring for my brain is! My thoughts are lightening fast and habitually follow a deeply grooved, erroneous path to which my feelings involuntarily respond. I also perceive this brain in a box image as motivation to persevere with cognitive recovery: I really appreciate things wrapped in fancy wrapping! I picture myself tenderly looking down into this special occasion brain box while gratefully cradling it. The posts here reassure me that I have fellow travellers on the circuitous path to recovery from long-term interaction with BPD. : ) I am glad for your company! Warm regards, Diligence Title: Re: Gift Wrapped Brain Post by: ScarletOlive on April 11, 2013, 04:25:42 PM I like this image, Diligence. Since your brain is wrapped up in you, it has lovely wrapping indeed. :) Take care.
