READING MY DAILY READERS HELPS ME IN MY RECOVERY EVERY DAY.
Daily Reflection:
"It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.” ~Epictetus From FOR TODAY for March 29th ORIGINAL PAINTING by LORI B.
Having purchased a new laptop, I enrolled in an on-line Microsoft 365 course to help me become more proficient – 12 Lessons with a Final Exam. I felt pretty confident when I submitted the exam as there were only a few answers I was not certain were correct. Imagine my surprise, when the question I got marked wrong was one of the questions I was so sure was correct. I still would have selected the wrong answer no matter how many times I re-read the question. Only after having it marked wrong, could I see I misread the initial question as my mind continuously skipped over a vital word.
This certainty reminds me of my life living with my disease. I was convinced the problem was food and the solution was another trendy diet. If only I reached my goal weight, life would be perfect.
I am so grateful that I no longer live trapped in thinking that I have to be “right” or to know everything. It is ok to say, “I don’t know because my HP knows.” I just have to trust my HP, work the OA program, not make assumptions, and keep coming back, one day at a time.
