All of those words that you wrote, I've heard come out of my own mouth as I fixated on my problem areas instead of the good qualities that got ignored. I loved how you so aptly symbolized the "what the hell" girl and isn't it interesting when those words turn into "WHAT THE HELL????" when we step onto the scale after one of our indulgences. If ever you want to go out for a glass of wine or two and chat after work, come and get me in the plaza and I promise we will eat healthy!Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490386276289384018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759038538875397215.post-30261707312359140562011-07-01T16:00:40.109-04:002011-07-01T16:00:40.109-04:00Beautifully said!!

You will see that you need to sit still and pay attention. Superwoman, put your cape away, you have gone back to doing 50 million things at once again. And one more thing to point out, and you will know what I mean because we've had this discussion before, in your effort to avoid hurting others, once again, you have hurt yourself (you lost footing because you tried to avoid hurting your animals, who, by the way, move a hell of a lot quicker than you do). You know we don't grow through comfort, we grow through pain and challenges - ask yourself whose pain you are trying to take away and end up taking on in the process.<br /><br />Love ya, got those purple heels for you.

In ...Hi Tina - wonderful to come to that awareness! In the Mindfulness practice that I teach, which is based on Buddhist philosophy, non-acceptance is considered to be at the heart of human suffering - wanting things to be different than what they are. Your next step might be to pay attention so that you really become aware of how frequently your thoughts involve wanting things to be different than what they are, which just creates more and more tension in your body from being in that state of non-acceptance. Then, just allowing things to be as they are, learning to tolerate this a bit at a time, cause it takes practice after years and years of doing the opposite. Even if you are not able to sleep, stop laying there telling yourself you should be asleep!!! Get up and do something until you are tired. Acceptance doesn't mean you have to lay down and resign yourself to being powerless. It actually allows you to see things more clearly so that you can take wise action when necessary. So take all those creative and sometimes disturbing thoughts that are going around and around in your head and write them down so you know you won't forget them and you can come back to them in the morning. Or take action on them if you need to. Expend this energy outward so you are are not trying to contain it inward. As you know, energy does not die, and if you are trying to restrict your creative energy through thoughts that say "it shouldn't be happening right now", it just goes inward. Sheesh, knowing you, I am not surprised you can't sleep!!! Simply stop telling yourself you should be asleep because its the appropriate time to be asleep, because some man-made time measuring mechanism tells us so! Listen to your body and go with your flow, baby, even if the rest of the world is recharging theirs. <br /><br />Love you!
