Learning is everywhere & if you're trying to do things “better” is it taking risk trying something new? Just the word description & I went for it. Just do it. Something my mother used to say & what I wear as a reminder. Someone gave it to me--I forgot to say thanks, but did something else as a sign of gratitude, but communication got criss-crossed. Not the first, nor will be the last time. I a unable to forget the first & the last times.
Reading/Writing/Speaking/Listening/adapting socially after tbi. tense. insipid. idiot. To Be Inward so do the opposite and come out.
A monster that I will slay since this was the fairy tale that I grew up with. You’ve got problem? You figure it out. I’m not scared of understanding what this is. Conquering anger, fear naturally will decrease anxiety, but this can exist on its own. This being the state where I’m in the least amount of control. Now, allow all words to come out. Now, they won’t! To get your voice back visualize yourself kicking anger & fear over their fence, the one built higher to keep people OUT. That is not the proper usage of the word.
Been beaten up a little lately. Forming a unique brand of crazy. I don’t want to give up yet. Begin a-brewing again--wow. It’s a renewing, new fuel for a duel that’s not my worst enemy & pow, right in the kisser. I am always in-control, no pulled punches, whatever you can do to make one less, this anger if weakened, will fold. Someone once told me the natural enemy of any hole is the pile & oh the miles to cross, I will never get lost [again], just have to hold on to for that moment when you put all this crap back into the holes others dug for you to fall in.
Sounds are louder. Visuals much brighter. The specialists I trust know anatomy, nerves & soft tissue say it’s about exposing the body, now my brain starts to drain. Expose the emotion, but in a safe setting. Have a clear definition & provide a list to ensure understanding:
I caught a typo in the moment (& after seeing so many, editing to get through it, I know why I do it!) When the blip occurs, reminds me to flip then reverse. This traffic jam of letters stopping my flo’, hello no! Good grammar, good words that make you feel good, these kicks, these twirls, put my head in a delightful whirl, this love of reading [aloud] & hearing one’s voice (oh, how we all hid) was only cultivated after I realized how the love of story is so necessary for kids. They must hear inflation, how words dance, spin & soar. Being there is much better than here, my body is neutral (just “normal” pain, which is how I know for sure). What is the normal every day pain? I think I know.
DEFINE “a safe place to play” = shared spaces where people interact & talk, get to know each other (socialization is a necessary part of life) but because we’re looking out for one another, can a true sense of community grow?
NEEDS (1) saying hello & goodbye (2) Looking at each other in the eye when speaking to one another (3) Do everything you can to decrease interactions from escalating by exhibiting calm & “stepping up” which is just taking care of yourself before you dump on others.
TRY
Think before talking
Honesty if you don’t understand something
Practice what you’re going to say. Cut half. Pr-Axe (practice then chop).
Strategy : when you require noise to concentrate for the occasional distraction use background noise--writing out of my apt is best, but it’s still hard to get out every day. In addition to TV/Radio/allow timers to go off (anticipation/have to find them when any noise is jarring, but most necessary to have). Keep balcony doors open. Allow things to just fall and try to really anticipate the crash sound which can jar the body a little to seize it up before relaxing again.
