Small subconscious actions compound to make you the person you are.  How could your life change if you become mindful of these actions?  I took a mindful shower this morning and tried to relax as the warm water went down my muscle pain body .  Does anxiety cause full-body muscle pain from head to toe?  I eat a mindful breakfast, Lunch or dinner.  I eat slowly and savor every bite while everyone else around me eats way too fast.  This is why everyone else is overweight .  I was eating so slowly for years and still this weight gain happened.  (laughs) Why?   They don't have signal to their brains that tells them to "stop your full!"  But they are thinking, It just taste so good and they don't want to waste food at a restaurant.  Men can lose weight 10X faster than women can.  That is just not fair!   Not sure what this means but I like this quote.  " Take great pleasure in simple actions ".   L...

We are mindful when we are aware of our thoughts.  What thoughts are presents now?   Right now I am thinking about my blood sugar as I am going to have a blood test in the morning. Oh this is triggering, why does everyone automatically think it is my weight that is making my blood sugar shoot up through the roof.  Well maybe not through the roof--that was exaggerating.  Okay last year it was a little higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes .  My doctor had me cut out sugar and fat.  Why does everyone say it is my weight?  Does anxiety spike blood sugar?   

Allowing yourself to let go of whatever it is that is stressing you.  Invite sensations of peace and equanimity to fill your idea space.   I, and I alone, am responsible for everything I think and feel.  I can do anything that I want, it just has to be within reason.  I choose how I feel today.   I just remembered an event at Becky and Robert Young's house.  Well I peed myself in the grocery store where we were at.  I was about 3 and 4 years old.  Either Becky or Robert made me sit in the corner.  I'm sure they had a very good reason for doing what they did.  Hold it!  I believe my selective mutism started at what.... 3 and 4 years old.  So when I was 2 years old I was fine.  I just had to come back here and tell about this one little part.  It wasn't until I got to preschool is when the selective mutism started.  That is when I was probably away from mom and dad for a couple of hours at preschool?...

First off I am ready to move on from selective mutism .  It's like drowning in anxiety and staying submerged in it and people not letting me recover from it.  But lately people have been backing off and letting me handle what would call it light speaking .   

This is what I found when I asked this question to copilot.  I think that is some good shit.  I might want to be careful as I don't trust myself and I don't trust what google, Alexa or copilot gives me answers to. Please note that they are an AI.  All three of them help me with my communication tremendously!  Name someone with either autism or selective mutism or any anxiety disorder that AI has also helped them with their communication.   I promise that I will not take it to heart.  You can answer this question if you want to.  I would love to hear all responses as all responses are welcome.   w hat do I do when a person takes advantage of me? When someone takes advantage of you, the most important thing is to shift from reacting emotionally to responding with clarity and boundaries . You don’t have to confront them dramatically or cut them off immediately — you just need to reclaim your power in a steady, grounded way. Here’s a clear,...

What can you do tomorrow to become a better version of yourself? I can say "I am" affirmations to make me a better version of myself.  I am hoping it could.  It is much easier to judge other people than yourself.  People can talk themselves out of something just because of other people.
