Merry Christmas Everybody! I hope each and every one of you is doing something to make your day a little brighter. Those of us with MD know all about isolation and the holidays can sometimes make those feelings a bit more intense. It's so important though not to fall into any kind of stressful thinking. However...those of us in this community are tough! We know how to manage that stress...AND...we know that it is beyond important to manage the anxiety because stress makes this disease worse. We are all working towards getting well, so it's really important for us to continuously find ways to laugh and lighten our mood. There's a very real reason stress makes it worse...and that's because anxiety causes our body to produce cortisol which activates our symptoms. No fun! I sometimes wonder what new people might think when they come here and see some of the silly stuff...especially if they're brand new and desperate. They may be thinking...where's the part about how to get well??? Ok newbies...it's definitely here...and we're all here to help...but here's a big thing to remember...it's on us to manage the stress and if we don't, we won't get well even if we do everything else. If you're new you might think you'll never have a stress free moment again, but that's not the case...jump into this community with both feet and you'll have hope...and you'll learn how to manage the anxiety. Well...in the spirit of eliminating some stress through laughter, I'm going to tell off on Mel who can be the king of silliness...especially when he's not even trying. A week or two ago, I got a phone call from a very excited Mel who jumped right into the conversation with his big announcement. It took some backstory and a bit of clarification for him to tell me what he was so thrilled about, and I will share same with all of you. Backstory: Mel was standing in his kitchen and sneezed. The sneeze caused him to grab onto the kitchen counter. His simultaneous sneeze and kitchen counter grab apparently kick started some old muscle memory movements of song and dance. And this muscle memory was...his busting a spontaneous move, so to speak by going straight into James Brown's shuffle...and...(Mel told me excitedly)...he did this BACKWARDS! So what was Mel's takeaway that made him so excited? It was that he could still do it! He could still do the James Brown shuffle at age 75, and even do it...BACKWARDS! Of course this event necessitated an immediate call to me, and due to the "incredible circumstances" of his amazing feat, I was duly impressed and bragged on him for several minutes which made him even more impossible. Some people don't need much to entertain themselves, and Mel is one of them. So...find ways to laugh! Find ways to lift your spirits! It doesn't take money...sometimes you can just sneeze and grab the kitchen counter. Love, Karen | ||||||
