--- Quote from: Hopalong on August 14, 2019, 01:01:36 PM ---Even though they're not helping today, ((((Tupp))), don't give up on regular contemplation of your positive Truths.
The practice is cumulative, not instant. Don't measure it by any day, just over time.
Any time you need some more positive truths about yourself, say the word! I've got a hundred.

Thanks, Hops! That is kind of you :) I'm finding they're changing daily at the moment. Today it is "I am loving myself the best way I can". Yesterday it was "I am ready to embrace communal living. I am ready to meet my soul mate. I am ready to make a lot of money". The day before that it was, "I am doing the best I can with this shitty life I'm forced to live". I think it's really important to me that there's no devil whispering, "Bullshit" in my ear, which is what I find happens if I say things like, "I love myself unconditionally". I don't, so I know I'm lying to myself and it makes me feel shaky. So focusing on actual truths and realities works better for me. And the more I think about things like this, the more certain I feel that it's actions that create reality, not thoughts. Whether they're my actions or someone else's, that's what creates reality around us. I don't believe that you can always change the way you feel about something, or react to it. Some things you can, and some things you can work at, but our emotions are there for a reason. Fear is there to protect you. I know it becomes a problem when you remain afraid once the threat has gone, but in the first instance it's there to stimulate your fight or flight response, to keep you safe. Instinct is a really interesting one for me, because my instincts are really strong, as is the 'vibe' I pick up from other people - and I ignore it so much of the time! Isn't that weird? I don't think instinct would count as a thought? Because it's from deeper inside somewhere, quite often I can't verbalise the way I feel, I just feel something's bad or off. I might then think about the feeling and try to work out whether it's a heightened response so I suppose that becomes thought but the feeling is there first, I think.
Anyway - that was my morning pondering! I hope you're feeling better now that you've had your monitor off and can get in the pool with ease :) xx

Brain doc said we burn through vitamin D like crazy when under stress, and it's difficult to build back up. You've been under a lot of stress for many years. Please make sure you have a good water soluble Vit D supplement as you likely have a deficiency. Both my girls and I have that problem.
Vit D deficiency messes with our hormones.
I'm glad you're feeling better, and knocking out tasks: )

Thanks, Lighter, I will look into it! I had a day of knocking out tasks and then yesterday felt very tired and ill, so my achievement for yesterday was to let myself rest :) And to cook a nice dinner even though I didn't feel like it :) xx xx
Hopalong:
Quick one as I'm off to see T -- something that made an impression on me when I was hypnotized. The subconscious absorbs everything it's exposed to and isn't a good grammarian. So if you want to practice pondering positive Truths, design them without negative modifiers. Example would be no less honest than your initial one, but more helpful to the deep mind. So, instead of:
"I am doing the best I can with this shitty life I'm forced to live".
It'd be something like:
I'm doing the best I can with my present life.
Keep 'em coming, Tupp. You are amazing.

Meh:
Hahahahah : I'm laughing at your affirmation Hops.
"I am doing the best I can with this shitty life I'm forced to live".
Some weeks I feel like I get more done and others I feel that I get less done. This was a less week. Distracted and not able to get enough restful sleep and concentration going.
Hopalong:
I understand that, G!
I accomplish so little I rarely venture here.
But it does feel good to read about y'all.
Hope your energy perks up soon.
(That wasn't actually my "affirmation", I was commenting on one of Tupp's. But she's got a great streak of positive truths, and so I hope more to come!)
Hugs
