Jinny is so right. It's a bad day. It will pass. It will be a new day tomorrow. Do your best to keep it all in the right perspective.

I've learned lately to give myself recovery time whenever I get overstimulated by something. Good or bad, fun or difficult the stress wilI inevitably trigger a 'post-whatever blues' period of time for me. Could be hours, could be days if I let it go on. Now I benefit from knowing about the pattern and respecting it accordingly.

Like you the post-time is often visited with dreams or mind-occupations about the most burning, troubling issue in my life. It comes to draw me into its web of dispair and sadness. When I'm least equiped with solutions or strategies. I've discovered that if I give myself time to de-compress or level from the inbalance then I can avoid the suffering. I don't let myself think about issues that cause me further sadness. I avoid trying to make sense of anything that comes into my head or any sorrow that comes over my heart.

I basically take a wellness day to recover when something happens to throw me off my balance. Perhaps its something that could help you too. Deny yourself permission to think about your situation with your mother or any other topic that will bring you down. Today is a recovery day. A day of pampering and pacing and affirmations. A day of doing what you know will lift you up and avoiding what you know will bring you down.

Love yourself. Love yourself through the sadness and be the wiser for having coped. It is what it is. Your issues won't go away and today is not the day to find the miracle. Acknowledge the pain and the anger but don't let yourself dwell in it. Don't deny what you are feeling, say it outload once if you have to but don't entertain it. Shout it out and name if it will help but don't let it visit. Entertain thoughts of self love. Do self-loving things. Give yourself a break to level out again. Leave your cares to the universe.

Whatever is good, true and honourable, think, dwell on these things that the love in you may minister to your needs and bring peace to your soul.

Take good care.....
