No more "work first, sleep (and relax) later." Sleep, stress reduction, and relaxation are now top priority. General shift from time spent working to time spent relaxing. Getting used to asking for help from both friends and strangers. Shift in time and energy from doing things to planning, organizing, and coordinating what other people are doing. Change in attitude toward money, relatively more toward spending on the present and relatively less toward saving. Taking vacations has dramatically improved my health in a relatively short period of time. Grieving for loss of health, and grieving when contemplating healing and improvement. Living with an injury day to day, it is emotionally difficult to imagine improved health, even when it seems realistic and likely that improved health will occur. Approaching both healing and particular circumstances as problems to be solved, and turning attention toward solutions. Saying "no" to others when a particular task would be stressful or physically difficult. Saying "no" to myself (setting limits); learning to weigh benefits of task against physical costs. Organizing home and office to reduce stacks of paper and make it physically easier to be productive. Learning to direct people who help me and perform services for me. "Ordering people around" can take getting used to. Continually growing awareness of posture and body in general. Interest in alternative medicine and holistic health that did not previously exist. |
