Has life ever felt like a yoyo to you? Do you ever find yourself spinning up and down or side to side in a cats cradle like motion with the same ins and outs of life appearing over and over again each time you swing by? Up and down to and frow repeating repeating repeating. Just when you think you’ve come on to something new the same patters emerge once more reappearing like an old familiar friend. And you try to shift. You try to start anew. Yet it all feels mundane eventually. One of the strangest things about experiencing an illness that comes with flare ups is that there is this feeling like you’ve finally got it managed, and then it rears its ugly head again out of the blue. You never know if you’re just out of flare up mode or you’ve finally found something that has worked to help lessen symptoms. It doesn’t help that the pills for these conditions are often trial and error taking a stab in the dark until you find one that provides support. I’m constantly thinking things are moving forward only to realize that it just hasn’t been cold enough out or I was far enough away from my period to have less severe symptoms and it had little to do with the new diet or supplements or exercise routine at all. And soon with enough tracking everything reveals that the same patters still appear to be at play in the end. We all experience this in one way or another; the round about carousal that is life. So how do we break the cycle? I suppose its with small continual fractures to the system that eventually chisel away a large enough chunk to be noticeable. Just shifting that small micro percentage little by little until it begins to build. One thing here. Another there. Slowly shifting to a new course.
The advantage with small changes is that they are simple to make. The trouble with small changes is that one moment of dreariness, forgetting, or letting your guard down and suddenly you’re back to square one. At least it is quick to remake them again. So we keep stepping forward bit by bit, doing our best to avoid the backtracking and recovering quickly when it does occur. Overtime it does make a big difference after all. If only we believe that long enough to keep going. What tiny step will you take today? How will you take it? How will you ensure that you will continue forward with it at every opportunity you can? Keep believing. Keep trusting yourself. Keep knowing it will eventually be worth it. And someday it will.
