Dealing<\/h3>\n
What have you been dealing with so far in 2023, or recently? Anything major or minor? It could be dealing with gaslighting, difficult diagnoses, pesky insurance, mental health issues, a partner, or even with your own fears, thoughts or worries.<\/p>\n
Or perhaps you\u2019d like to take this prompt a bit more figuratively, and talk about how life has been dealing you unfathomable cards, or something else.<\/p>\n
You may even be dealing with something really well, and are proud of yourself for doing so. This linkup is as open-ended and flexible as they come!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Thinking<\/h3>\n
What\u2019s been on your mind of late, or maybe for a long time now? You might be weighing your options, trying to see the pros and cons before making a decision. You could be thinking about a person, project, problem\/solution, or even what to cook or get as a gift for a friend.<\/p>\n
Or perhaps you\u2019ve been on a more philosophical bent, and have been musing unanswerable questions, or trying to figure out how to do life with chronic illness and disabilities.<\/p>\n
Or perhaps, you\u2019re trying to shut your brain up and not think at all. After all, our brains process about 70,000 thoughts a day<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Reacting<\/h3>\n
How have you been reacting to stuff that\u2019s been on your mind, a situation, or just life in general? As they say, our reactions are one thing that we can more or less control, even when life is chaotic. Though of course, it\u2019s never easy, is it?!<\/p>\n
Have you been overreacting of late, and if so, what are the possible triggers? Or perhaps depression has drained you of all feelings, and you aren\u2019t motivated to even react to anything at all.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Experiencing<\/h3>\n
Have you been experiencing more (or hopefully less!) chronic pain of late? Perhaps you\u2019ve had some traumatic run-ins with healthcare professionals, or are experiencing some turmoil in your life.<\/p>\n
Of course, I hope that you\u2019re actually experiencing some pleasant sensations and things in life. Perhaps you\u2019re trying to be more mindful, and soak up each moment as they come and go.<\/p>\n
This writing prompt could also be related to gaining experience at school or at work. Or even experiencing d\u00e9ja-vu, a full spectrum of emotions, culture shock, and so much more.<\/p>\n
You may also want to take the opportunity to share more about your health or life experiences, and what you\u2019ve gained or learned through it all.\n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Viewing<\/h3>\n
I wanted to use the word \u2018perspective\u2019 actually, but it seems like there isn\u2019t a verb for it. So in a similar vein, I thought I\u2019d use the word \u2018viewing\u2019. Often, a simple change in perspective can turn our day or mood around. Our thoughts and perspective are that powerful.<\/p>\n
You could also be house viewing, browsing stuff online to buy, taking in the sights and sounds of nature, watching a film (please recommend some good ones!), or looking at something else.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
