The Body Practice

So the semester end is looming just over the horizon.  I am feeling focused and in control.  I think I have enough time to make everything run smooooothly.  The trick for me is to stay balanced. 

What does that mean?  Well, I am big on self-care which sometimes translates into PLAY.  But that whips around and bites me in the cushy parts sometimes.  So I am redefining self-care for now to mean staying on track with studying and sleep.  I also have to make time to feed myself energizing food….that doesn’t mean lots of caffine or sugar…it means lots of veggies, fruit and good protein.  This isn’t a chore, it is really what I want. But when I push myself in the wrong ways, when I stay up late or run too hard, I don’t make time for shopping and have to depend on other sources of food. 

The other thing I am doing is that I am using my mind to help guide my actions and feelings.  It is a great tool, this mind of mine.  I have been doing creative visualization to keep me on track.  Visualizing myself at the end of this next week having all my ducks in a row, feeling superb and enjoying my sense of self-confidence. 

I did get hypnotized the other day. It went really well.  I will spend sometime writing about it after the smoke clears from school.  I will say I feel like a shift happened.  And I came to understand the workings of our psyches in a way I don’t think I would have ever understood without this experience.  I have a sense that I am much more in control of the things I thought were uncontrolable than I ever imagined.  We are as powerful as we are complex.  I think the key for me is not to be afraid to trust that amazing change can happen in my life, and it can happen quickly…in this moment.  Boom! Change.

Working for Change,
