Rough Day?

Did you get ... 8-11 hours of sleep?, 5-9 servings of fruits, grains, vegetables and grains?, an egg or two?, 30 minutes of dancing/walking/movement?, Flax seed oil for omega fatty acids?, Antioxidants (See Dr. Andy Weil's "What's So Special About Antioxidants?" - http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400535/Whats-So-Special-About-Antioxidants.html)?, Ginseng (Yogi tea?) for vitality (See Dr. Andy Weil's "Fighting Fatigue" - http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400057/Fighting-Fatigue.html)?, a multivitamin? Think improving bodymind neurophysiology as a basis.

Sleep

8-11 hours of sleep per night while in psychotherapy?

Talking

Learn to talk in new ways about what is challenging you, with someone skilled in listening and problem-solving like a psychotherapist, and/or mutually with a re-evaluation counselor, virtually - and for free. (If you'd like to start this, or organize this, let WUaS know at the email address on the WUaS front page). See this WUaS page for re-evaluation counseling.

Allow language to become central to understanding and communicating for your bodymind.
