Instead of watching the Super Bowl, I’m learning to enjoy football by listening. It’s taken practice, but by closing my eyes I can accurately keep track of the game and even get excited when others do. I have a permanent disability because of my vestibular disorder. Constant movement on a screen, or otherwise in my environment, gives me unbearable discomfort. I accepted the permanence of my disability so I can find new creative ways to have fun. Now, I fully embrace it, sitting close by the TV to catch the play-by-play calls, while soaking in the game-day energy of those watching it with me.I shifted my perspective in recovery. I must accept the things I can’t change to find new ways to enjoy life. Emily and Sarah are coming over, and they’ve taken it upon themselves to perform the halftime show for me, a tradition they started last year. We have an over-the-top spread of wings, chips, pizza, and even Post Malone Oreos (which are fricking amazing). And while I can’t physically see the game, I can hear every moment and feel the excitement in the room. Acceptance isn’t settling. It opens doors to enjoy life despite any challenge. Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and YouTube. Visit my Etsy shop, Recovery Upcycling. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RecoveryUpcyclingVisit me at ⁠⁠⁠recoverydailypodcast.com⁠⁠⁠ or email me at ⁠[email protected]⁠.#superbowlsunday #acceptance #vestibulardisorder #findingjoy #vestibulartherapy #vestibularsystem #vestibular #superbowl #vestibularmigraine #vestibularneuritis
