confession. i have a history of using restriction&rigidity as an *unhealthy* coping mechanism; an unhealthy way to deal with my stress. &this was even in times of abundance&freedom. so now that we’re in a time of actual isolation&restriction, I’m fighting the urge to settle back into my old habits; habits i have fought so hard to throw in the trash. Â
so how do i continue to live a full, healthy //my version of healthy// life in times of isolation&restriction? Â how do i stop myself from using social distancing &quarantine as an excuse to over control again?
i wish i had a ~a, b, c, easy as 1, 2, 3~  solution. but right now, all i’ve got is to //cut the crap. opposite actions. break the cycle// this time of isolation&restriction is *temporary*, but my unhealthy, restrictive, blah ways will *not* be if I do not cut the crap. opposite actions. break the cycle. over&over again. i must continue to make the effort to break the cycle every single day.  I am still beautiful, capable &worthy of a full&healthy life regardless of the status of the world around me.
