heart Find a comfortable place to sit where you are not disturbed and sit still for a few minutes with your eyes closed. Listen to your body and become curious. I listen to my body every day. I am curious about it.

heart What does your body feel like right now? Is there any pressure or tingling? Where? Right now, there is no pressure or tingling anywhere.

heart Can you breathe into the parts that call your attention? No.

heart What emotions are those sensations connected to? A bit of depression.

heart What do those parts of your body want to tell you? What do they want you to do? I have two parts of my body that want to tell me something. My mind wants me to find a better system to support it, my right foot wants me to find something to make it feel better.

@Offmytrack

Something that I find helpful when feeling sad or depressed is holding my heart for a while, like putting both hands on my heart. It does not make the painful feelings go away but I find it gives some comfort.
I hope you will find the support you need for both your mind and to heal your foot, is it injured?

No, it isn't injured. I think it is my lower back, which I hurt many years ago. Makes my toes on my right foot tingle or hurt.

@Offmytrack

Really sorry to hear, are there any exercises which can help like for example writing the ABC with the toes (in the air, not on paper laugh) which is an exercise to get the blood flowing in the foot?
