I struggle with this, not as much as a used to, but I am often the stone breaking the surface if the water

Be still in the chaos

Don’t push the river it flows by itself

It’s 9:30 am and we have high heat in my area
I wanted to jump on here and post some heat coping strategies

1/shade! obvious to most but I’m speaking about creating your own shade. You could close the window blinds of the house, dark equals cool. Wear a hat with a brim to shade your face and neck
Use the car window shade it does make a difference

2/ water!!! And lots of water in many forms. Carry drinking water on you. I keep water bottles in my freezer and grab one or two for my outings. Room temperature water is better than none. Take wetted face cloths in a zip bag and bring it out to place on your pulse points. A misting bottle to create coolness on your face and skin. I like a good foot bath of cool water, this is also a great treatment for resetting the vagas nerve in painful bodies. Unpopular advice but avoid alcohol and caffeine. They sound like a good idea but both are adding to the fire element that is already in excess and are dehydrating. Go to a body of water and swim or dip your feet in the water. It’s cooler by the water and it’s good for what ails you. Take a shower to cool down !

3/ plan your day to be inside or out of the heat between 3:00pm and 5:30pm as this is the hottest part of the day. If anxiety visits you then you should know heat makes it more intense so plan accordingly

4/ Plan small light meals, as digestion is hard and creates heat in our bodies. If you must cook that Sunday roast cook it in a slow cooker or in the early hours of the morning and simply reheat at dinner time.

5/listen to your body!! The signs of over heating come quickly and are just as quickly followed by heat exhaustion or stroke.

Start the day cool and do all you can to maintain the cool 😎

I’ve been following thus beautiful young man for some time now
He speaks so honestly and wise about his illness and the impact of having a chronic and at first undefinable suffering
He speaks of the moment when he turns his drive away from his expectation to be well and towards the reality of his illness
There is a Buddhist philosophy that regards the human experience has inevitable pain but suffering, the value we place on our pain, not so much
We must be wise in our acceptance of the reality of our situation and examine what makes us bitter as this needs to be evaluated for the sake of our recovery
