Expose the lies (the negative chatter is a lie) 7 days
(do on paper – blue or black pen or pencil
and a red pen – notepad or 7-10 pieces paper)
write down the lie (not good enough, etc, in one category
at a time)

Skip 4 lines after each lie in each category, but let it run out.

categories
 
a)  health and wellness
b) finance and business
c) relationship, love and familia
d) spirituality and faith

 
At first will feel crappy… once you’ve exposed the lies
get the red pen (dark text) and write the truth…
you will want to feel stuck however:
you know there’s a truth as you chose that statement as  a lie.
you will write the truth even if you don’t want to believe it.
(ex – ugly / divinely designed)
Then read the lie/truth for 7 days

7th days erase/line out the lies.



Lie: _ _ _
Truth: Actually, I am okay and my explorations are meaningful.
Truth: “Your” judgment is not about me.
Truth: It is time to let go of trying to get okayness from others.
Truth: I can do this and I can ask for assistance and either way is okay.
Truth: Whatever.


3
Write yourself a love letter.

What I love most about you… admire you for… thank you for being….
I honor you…

I've got the appointment with "the nurses"

I was so rattled I basically forgot to get the location from N. Called back to do so. Working on giving myself permission to go over the evening before. Okay, self, you have permission. And... it is unwise to ask X for a ride, just go over yourself at least part way after C's celebration.

There.

Okay. This is a not so good day. I don't feel good and the "good helpful diet" slipped the last couple days. Back in the saddle, sorta. But... not very well. 

This is a very familiar emotional state.  Awareness wheel and hakomi --

feeling
sad. angry! despair.
                      
2) distracted 
want  some nurturing and attention, to be safe, to feel safe, not to have to work at all this, not to be ashamed of my feelings which I would be if anyone I cared about knew. I want to avoid lots of negative things that can happen or get said by people who frequently do or say those things. judging my feelings of shame are supposed to help me drop it or maybe just make the judger free to stand clearer... I don't know. but that hurts.


thinking
stuck again! Is it permanent?
I am so unlovable like this. Or...
any time. I made myself do some
things today and I still feel.... bad.
2 hopeless. alone.


perceive
hot, anxious, weakness,
sore belly, tight throat, tears
2 tension. tears. itchy.



3 I feel so one-down in those cases. So why the heck am I there?  It's something about deserving to be if I can make difficult people accept me the way I want to be accepted. Which I'm freakin ashamed of. Ta. Da.


Do
Ask anyway. Find someone else to go with. Go alone, leaving early to get a place to stay.  Meet C, J, etc. Or at least ask. Ask K.

excerpt - lack and abundance

Where does lack come from? It comes from the false beliefs you’re holding onto. These beliefs tell you that there is something wrong with you. How feeling wrong shows up, depends on the person.  So how does lack express itself in your life? Do you gossip? Resent? Do you feel “less” than your friends? Do you try to do everything “right”? Or do you struggle with money? These are just a few examples of lack. There are too many ways to share how it expresses itself here. If you are feeling anything but abundant in your life, you are in lack.

You know you’re sitting in abundance when you feel “enough.” You feel as if there is no need for competition. You know that the universe supplies all of your needs. And you are open to receive, knowing that you are not alone and never have been.

wanting

“What is the simplest or most outrageous thing I can do right now or today to reach my goal?” Sedona Method about releasing goals.

budget friendly healthy foods

 from Learn Vest

 

Kale

It’s a great source of fiber, protein, iron, and vitamin C. One cup has just 36 calories and zero grams of fat. Kale also provides antioxidants and may help fight cancer.Try this: Don’t love the bitter taste of kale? Take a cue from Jamba Juice and try it in a green smoothie. Combine a handful of spinach, a cup of the frozen sugar-free fruit of your choice (like mangoes or strawberries), a banana, some coconut milk, and ice in a blender. Blend until smooth. Not sweet enough? Add a little bit of honey or agave syrup. Make this your morning go-to.

Greek yogurt

With its signature tart flavor, Greek yogurt promotes intestinal health and may even have anticancer and weight-loss effects. Avoid the sugar over-load of flavored yogurts by just adding a little honey yourself. Try this: Have family taco night, but make it light! Instead of piling on nutrient-empty shredded lettuce and fatty sour cream, substitute spinach or kale and Greek yogurt. Your family won’t even notice that the sour cream is missing.

Garbanzo beans

Consider substituting beans for meat in one meal a week. You’ll still get a great dose of protein, but you’ll save a bundle. Also called chick peas, garbanzo beans are rich in fiber and iron, and may help reduce cholesterol levels. Stock up on a few cans so you’ll always have some available.Try this: Garbanzo beans will give substance to a soup. Try this Moroccan Coconut & Chick Pea Soup, which combines the protein-rich bean with other inexpensive grocery store finds like canned diced tomatoes, granny smith apples, and sweet potatoes.

Brown rice

Choose brown rice over white for its multitude of health benefits. While white rice has only 0.6 grams of fiber per cup, brown rice boasts 4 grams. White rice is created by removing some of the nutrient-rich outer layers of a grain of rice. Although some white rice is enriched with nutrients, brown rice remains the healthier choice. Try this: Use it as a healthier side dish option instead of buttery mashed potatoes. Or make some veggie kebabs on the grill and top the rice with the grilled veggies. The nuttier flavor of brown rice will kick your regular side dish up a notch. Whatever you do, add minimal salt and butter to the rice while it’s cooking.
