Little Nemo Dec 2021 9:18am, 10 Dec 2021 12,654 posts	Quote Pin Little Nemo I've done a bit of research and it seems changing the order of my first names is easier than I thought. Although I don't like my first name it seems mean to discard it when my mother chose it. I'll leave it for a couple of months to see how things look next year.

Tim of Fife Dec 2021 10:48am, 10 Dec 2021 3,583 posts	Quote Pin Tim of Fife Worry, anxiety, stress. All sadly very, very real to many people. It isn't at all easy. But maybe worth each any every one of us enjoying what "is" rather than obsessing about what "might be".

Brain not quite firing on all cylinders, but I'm betting it's much better than having covid! I always seem to have DOMS so wouldn't be able to tell the difference
Tim of Fife Dec 2021 11:13am, 10 Dec 2021 3,584 posts	Quote Pin Tim of Fife I just read the various comments and one thing struck me. So, so many expressions of anxiety about what "might be" (eg will I get adverse reaction to a jag). A very real emotion. But, as my wife says, utterly pointless.
Tim of Fife Dec 2021 11:24am, 10 Dec 2021 3,585 posts	Quote Pin Tim of Fife I could spend every waking moment on "anticipatory worry" about Covid and a hundred other things. What would that achieve though? Nothing, except to leave me drained and miserable. So, recently, I have started to focus on just what actually "is" in the here and now. Feel so much more relaxed for it. If it works for me, it might just work for others.
Metro_Nome Dec 2021 11:53am, 10 Dec 2021 6,429 posts	Quote Pin Metro_Nome Similar to - so you’re worrying. Can you do something about it? If yes- do what you can do. If no- no need to worry Much easier said than done but powerful if you can manage it (says I who worries about every tiny thing whether I can control it or not… anxiety is fun)
