Healing Messages 1.43 – Keep moving.

This is my most constant answer to myself.

When the feeling of criticism or any other kind of negativity tries to move in, I remind myself “Keep moving”.

I pull myself back up over and over again.

I take the first tiny step.

I place one pin in a sewing project.

I tie off one warp thread.

I pull out a pen and sketch pad and draw one mark on a meditation drawing.

This time, when the feeling of depression hit a frequency from the past, I caught it before I went totally down.

I could feel it coming and when I heard myself say something really negative and critical about myself, I knew I had to act fast.

First, I tried food.

Since I have cleaned out everything except good food, I ate a banana.

I was already rolling with my food canning project, so that felt good.

I decided to do a round robin of all the projects I have started.

I ended up pinning a complete line of sashing for a quilt.

I ended up completing the rest of the warp tie-up for my new weaving project.

Then I wrapped the shuttle with the yarn for the weft.

I even started weaving a little.

I reattached a velcro closure for my husband’s gym bag.

I still have my four knitting projects.

I am watching a video to learn a new crochet stitch.

I can keep my thought elevated by distracting myself and being productive until I kick into my normal uplifted mode of thinking.

I love me. That is where I start.

In the meantime, I have gotten several little, and bigger, things done.
