I was inspired, Janks for sharing, Janet, to have personal best/not quite a win, too: last night, through the night, I experienced a huge shift internally, as the result of doing a great deal of internal work recently and a sudden trigger.....I was able to feel, in my body where the pains were.....when they move around like that I know I am not stuck.....I used breathing techniques...I simply noticed and felt the pains and avoided the negative feed back loops....only the positive feedback loops. the negative ones do not always serve me very well.....felt the pains, acknowledged same, noticed the thoughts separated the thoughts from the emotions, felt the emotions and found the positive learnings and kept moving forward and got back to a sound sleep. yeah!

I have found this site to be extremely helpful, disregard the word (diabetic as it is irrelevant because we all breath).....I heard this being said somewhere in my travels, "nothing else matters if you can't breath"....https://thebreathingdiabetic.com/blog/nasal-breathing-brain-relaxed-creative-act

(Members please comment "Agreed" or "I'm In." if you agree and commit) Community Agreements CLEAR Method Community This community exists to support self-aware adults who are ready to stop living in survival mode and begin creating real emotional stability and alignment. The conversations here often touch deep personal experiences, nervous system regulation, identity change, and life transitions. Because of that, we operate under a set of shared agreements to keep this space safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive. These are not rules meant to control you. They are agreements that protect the integrity of the space. 1. Speak From Your Own Experience Use “I” language whenever possible. Share what you experienced, what helped you, and what you’ve learned. Avoid diagnosing, labeling, or telling others what they “should” do. Examples: “What helped me in a similar situation was…” “Something I noticed in my own pattern was…” Instead of: “You need to…” “You’re doing it wrong.” Everyone here is responsible for their own nervous system and choices. 2. This Is Not Therapy or Medical Advice This community provides education, reflection, and peer support. It does not replace therapy, medical care, or professional mental health services. If someone shares something deeply personal: Respond with care and empathy, not treatment plans or diagnoses. 3. Respect Emotional Safety People in this community may be working through: survival patterns • trauma responses • identity shifts • emotional regulation work That means: No shaming • No attacking • No dismissing someone’s experience Curiosity is welcome. Judgment is not. 4. Confidentiality Matters What someone shares here stays here. Do not screenshot, copy, repost, or share another member’s story outside this community without their explicit permission. Trust is what makes this space work. 5. No Self-Promotion or Soliciting This community is for learning and support, not marketing. Please do not: Pitch services • Drop affiliate links
