Meditations have been daily although bit short.er in length than usual. Diet is going well, socializing is going well I even got a call from an old friend who I will be seeing in a couple days. I have been asking for new friends and now an old friend has come back in a new way. Exercising has not been up to par this week, although I did ride the stationary bike three times and danced once during the week. The self reading was very informative although i must say it was different experience. I got pretty emotional in some spots as you will hear, Robin.
Whew!! What a week! There is much I am working to accomplish in my life along with homework assignments. It is all working together nicely as diet, exercise, connecting with friends lends support to building my businesses, and being present for family and job. The 50 – 60 Minute meditation has not happened everyday this week, mostly they have been 30 – 40. Yesterday, I had a piece ( a rather large one) of cake. I went too long with no food. I have reconnected with some old friends and have spent time with new ones through Meetup. I am not perfect at this, but I work to keep the momentum moving forward. I am seeing results that are very satisfying, to name a few: like the beginnings of paying clients, referrals, more clarity in my life, more trust in myself, some breaking through in my other business, more energy in my body and much more internal peace. Self reading was challenging but I’m glad for the assignment. I learned to lean further in to trust and acceptance of myself.
Since I am writing this two weeks later, at least, I want to comment on the reading I had with my partner – relationship with sibling – having had this time to watch the change; it has been healed and transformed for the much better! Thank you to my partner for such a healing & insightful reading, and to you, Robin, for this emphasis here; it is one that is often neglected, even in therapy programs, but is important in life. I, too, have struggled lately with sugar in the diet again, so it’s a matter of monitoring, and being aware, and using more self-discipline. It is obvious to me that I turn to sugar when I feel under stress. So to find other ways – maybe a Tai Chi moment instead.
