Assignment 8

I am learning that proper planning ahead of time helps me overcome procrastination so I'm scheduling my meditation practice this week on these days and times:Every day after I shower I will make time to meditate.  That means I will have to get up 30 minutes earlier. Three convenient, comfortable spaces where I can sit quietly and comfortably to meditate, without interruptions are:In my living room, at the beach near my home, in the forest ne...

"Hey mom that arm doesn't jiggle like it used to"

"What"? I was a little startled and pleased by this statement.  I secretly love the honesty and innocence children live daily. It is something I have lost over the years of becomming an adult. Through their eyes the world is full of wonder and appriciation for the little things.  They typically have no worries, bills to pay, or cumborsome tasks that have to be completed by the end of the day.  Children can really be a gre...

Assignment 1 Where Am I now?

Where am I now?  I have been on a jouney that has taken me places mentally that I have never been before. The tasks from the last challenge were difficult but I have found after completeing them I have become more content and happy. I am also healthier in mind and body. Go figure? Consistant exercise, eating correctly, and taking care of your emotional needs would lead me to where I am today.  Last year I would have slept in all day and...

The Crap has hit the Fan...Assignment 10

Where am I in this process?  I have been very busy working on the assignments and when I got to assignment 8 everything hit the fan.  I haven't been on hold. I have been face to face with a lot of personal issues that have caused me a lot of pain and heart ache for many years. So much so I had put a blanket over the turmoil and shoved it into the basement never to be seen again (e.g. personal bad habits, over eating, blaming, etc.) &nbs...

Who Knew it might be painful?

Who knew the transformation could cause pain?  Actually it is the good kind of pain that happens right before a serious change is about to happen. I have found that since I started this challenge that a mental transformation has been taking place. The transformation has caused me to look at all of my relationships and I mean ALL of them to see where the issues arise. I find it interesting. It's like I am no longer using them as a distraction...
