I have received few messages related to my problems with sleeping. I have to say that I was a bit scared to talk about any relaxation methods, and what I am trying to do myself. I don't feel to be the correct person since nothing seems to work so far. But here it is what I am trying to do.
I was trying to listen to a calming, soothing music before going to sleep. Somehow it reminds me the loss of someone who is deeply in my heart. She was my lifesaving island, where I could come or call whenever I needed. She was here all the time for us, calming me and I lost her. I lost safe feelings in my life. I feel naked. I feel lost. And living day by day feels pretty empty now.
Day by day is filled by routines to do. But the most important thing is not to give up, and stand up and do anything. We are trying to color colouring books with my daughters. I have bought an adult version for myself, called relaxing colouring books or anti stress colouring books. It is fun to share it with my daughter. It is not important to make a perfect job, but to share the good time with someone dear to you.
Origami is quite funny to do with kids and it is also a creative way how to practise fine motor skills, to keep the coordination of small muscles in the hand. Fingers get easily stiff and using all the supporting equipment could have almost opposite effect. It helps to reduce the pain, but you have to practise the fine motion as well.
Some other things would be useful to learn to reduce the stress from the daily life. I was trying to attend yoga, but that really doesn't work for me. I feel in pain anyway and I cannot do almost any position in the normal type of yoga. And having so much time to think about anything is also not good for me. I need to be able to switch off the brain which creates everyday black case scenarios what could happen to my kids. I feel exhausted. Walking and swimming really helps to reduce the stress in the body but I cannot do it daily.
When talking about relaxation, I have also relaxing supporting holder for my hand. I cannot do anything at that moment. It is modeled and shaped directly for my left hand. If my hand does not hurt, I am having most of the day cramps. This helps me to rest for a while. It is nice comfortable and light. At least that works.
Anyway, try to relax because we are living only this life and it would be sad to let all the things to destroy us!!
