Part of staying resilient and healthy is having “hacks” to get back to better, after you’ve been worse.

These past two months have been like a physiologic “dark night of the soul”.

This happens at times. In all of us.

Life can often be moments of grace. In between moments of trauma.

The winning deal is how to rearrange oneself even stronger, so when the sun comes out, you are not less than you were before whatever calamity showed up on your door step. But stronger.

Mine was a dental hell, an allergic reaction to a some antibiotics, feeling awful on all levels. After all that work on Everything Hormones.

It challenged all of me.

But in the past few days that is now getting back into my rear view mirror.

Having been through a variety of life events that were harsh, from cancer to fighting blindness, I’ve realized that when horrific issues show up, we contract inside ourselves.

It’s preservation.

We shrink inside our body, mind and spirit. Trying to not have all of us hurt.

To survive.

But I’ve learned, that part of staying impregnable is we we need to start to heal.

To now occupy all of ourselves. But new and improved.
