Baker's Dozen: My Favorite 13 Tapestries in 2023 (So Far). Top Story - June 2023.
Trying to find things that are calming to me or make me happy is one of my goals I've set with my psychologist this year. It's hard to feel relaxed and comfortable when your brain never shuts up and your body is always tensed up. If I'm not berating myself with that infamous inner critic, I'm having nightmares or insomnia or clenching my jaw until my teeth hurt - there's just no peace in me. I've never been one for meditation, so the best I can do right now is improve the home atmosphere. Make it somewhere I want to come home to and where I can really relax. But I don't really know what that is for me yet; a lot of emotions are either practically screaming - so loud - or they're really nuanced and hard for me to grasp sometimes.
