Figure

A bar graph registering low in four areas:
Feeling sad more than happy,
Acting inconsistent more than predictable,
Thinking confused more than understand
and Kept from Caring more than determined to Care.

Annotate

  1. ^React to ^Evaluate our ~self~. 
    1. ^Think about ^How we ^Feel.  Are we ~sad~, ~afraid~ or ~mad~?  Are we (un-)~happy~?. 
    2. ^Think about ^How we ^Act.  Are we ~inconsistent~ to ~goal~ or ~naughty~ to ~foundation~?  Are we not ~predictable~ to our ~self~? 
    3. ^Look at ^How we ^Think.  Do we not ^Understand ~one-another~?  Do we have ~confusion~? 
    4. ^Look at our ~mind~ and within our ~organism~.  Can we not ^Care, ^Trust or ^Choose?  Can we not ^Heal with ~agency~?  Can we not ^Commit to a ^More ^Healthy ~result~? 
    5. ^Remember the ~feeling~ and ~result~ from each ~category~ and ^Compare to ^Similar ~memories~. 
  2. ^When not ~found~ naturally, ^Consider against our ~indicator~ of it and then ^Act ^Such that we may ^Inspire or ^Magnify it. 
    1. ^Listen to a ^Sad ~song~ about it. 
    2. ^Say ^Sorry to others (or ^Cry) at any ~signal~ of ~change~ in ourselves, others or our world. 
    3. ^Trust to ^Follow others' ~example~ of ~weakness~ yet do our ~best~ ^First and foremost to ^Govern all ~strength~ that may ^Tend to ^Hurt. 
    4. ^Beg for its ^Own sake to ^Magnify ~sorrow~.  This ~works~ ~best~ ^When it is too late to ^Undo it. 
    5. ^Question or ^Oppose every ~idea~ without ~respect~ to its ~base~, even ~as~ we ^Consider the most ^Simple ~work~, logic or ~sense~. 
    6. ^Divide each ^Strong ~signal~ in our ~mind~ by its ~opposite~ in ~doubt~. 
    7. ^When we ^Need to ^Overcome a ^Present ^Strong ~obstacle~, we can ^Fight or ^Fall therefrom until we ^Lose ~hope~. 
    8. ^Feel ^Strong ~need~ to ^Stay in ~charge~ yet ^Decide to ^Depart for sake of ~peace~. 

Subject

^Sick is a mode of ^Function to ^Measure our ~mind~ to ^Detect the ~need~ to ^Make ~adjustments~ ^Quickly so that we may ^Avoid ^Needless suffering.  ^SICK is an acronym for ^Sad, ^Inconsistent, ^Confused and Kept from ~care~

This is ^Good to ^Learn for those ^Who ^Hate to ^Remain to ^Endure (dis-)~comfort~ and ^Find themselves often in that ~trap~.  That is me, and it might ^Be you too.  All of us ^Really.  It is ~important~ that we can ^Recognize and ^Evaluate each ~kind~ of ~roadblock~ in our ~life~. 

To the extent we ^Try to ^Continue while we have symptoms of ~weakness~, we will ^Start to inflict a ~mess~ of injury or ~immunity~ on ourselves and others.  At ^First our ~mind~ will ^Slowly or ^Immediately ^Magnify any ^Fragile ~signal~ until we ^Notice and ^Change course and speed.  Or eventually our ~mind~ and that of others may ^Start to ^Protect itself by its ~immunity~ to ^Create, ^Sustain or ^Magnify all kinds of distortions.  Those distortions may ^Continue until we have ^Sufficient ~strength~ to ^Heal ^Again. 

For those ^Who ~need~ ~help~. 

For those ^Who ~need~ to ^Help. 

For those ^Who ~need~ to ^Unsnarl and ^Restore their ~body~ to its ~sense~ of ~agency~ and ~love~. 

For those ^Who ~need~ to ^Return their ~belly~ to its ^Normal ~function~ and ^Establish our ^Rest-and-digest ~cycle~ ^Again. 

Target

Anytime or ^Hourly. 

^Notice ^Quickly anytime so we can ^Trust to ^Make minor ~adjustments~ ^Promptly.  And to the extent ~adjustments~ are not in our ~control~ ^Now, that is ^Okay too.  ^Let ~weakness~ ^Come and ^Let it ^Create modes and distortions in ourselves and others until we have ^Sufficient ~presence~ of ~strength~ to ^Choose the ^Return ~process~. 

We should not ^Deceive ourselves about the ~point~ of it.  A ~weakness~ doesn't necessarily mean that our ~body~ is ill, although ^Definitely it can ^Feel that ~way~.  ^Rather, it means that we are ~ready~ to have a ~change~ or to ^Fail with ^Humility.  ^Consider that ~weakness~ is the same ~as~ ~strength~ except that the former contains its ^Own ~chance~ to ^Grow, while in the latter we must ^Seek to ^Improve from it to ^Fail. 

^Sick is not only a ~measure~ of the ~mind~ but a ~function~ of it also that ~works~ ~best~ ^When we can ^Reduce it down ~as~ ~small~ ~as~ our ~tears~; a ^Momentary ~blur~.  Although we don't typically ^Benefit ^When we ^Seek out ~weakness~ or its ~parts~, to ^Choose to ^Yield ourselves in ~need~ is a powerful tonic and ~indicator~ upon ourselves, others and our world.  And we often accidentally mute or distort this ~benefit~ through a ^Needless mode or ~mechanism~.  Anytime we have ^Needless suffering, or we are under weight of any trial or of ~emotional-failure~, ^Find a ~space~ of ~need~ and ^Take a ~chance~ to ^Gain a ^Better ~life~ therefrom. 

Anytime we ^Hope to ^Operate or ^Recover, ^Remember to ^Exercise our ~weakness~.
