Gift Wrapped Brain

[Diligence]

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

I like this image, Diligence. Since your brain is wrapped up in you, it has lovely wrapping indeed. Take care.

And I am glad for yours diligence. Slowing down thought to feeling to reaction is so needed for me too. It would save a lot of negative talk in my head.
