I was privileged to interview my oldest son, who suffers from schizoaffective disorder. It is amazing to me how he understands his own limitations and how to handle stressful situations. For some people and myself included, I tend to avoid those stressful situations and try to ignore them. However pain will not be ignored. Pain gets your attention and demands you deal with it! I had to stop feeling sorry for myself and use that energy to do something positive, to be intentional with my decisions and daily actions. This did not happen overnight, I have to practice this daily and I still am practicing to be positive. How do you manage your day to day? How do you stay positive or are you at the point in your life you have been trying to ignore the pain? What can you do today to be intentional, to be positive?
