"change from theinside out"

"The brain is the organ of change, in neuroscience, mind is the brain in action. It is consciousness that uses the brain and the body to produce many different levels of mind.

Hazyjane check-in Monday 22nd December

hazyjane - 22 Dec 2014 - 5:21am

I have a sense of urgency, at last, it's Monday, I'm going to go to the library, and not allow myself to get distracted. No computer, no smartphone, just me and a notepad. And glasses. Reading relevant material. Absorbing things. Does that sound a bit lame? I hope not. I think I need to be kind to myself and give myself encouragement, so this is intended to be a gentle-ish start to the process. I have to research and that's undeniable, if I keep it simple by using pen and paper then chances are I'll get more actual research done. Because the internet is on the computer and much as I'd love to burst in the chatbox with fellow-P-Aers I know I'd get distracted (the dark playground) so it's blinkers on for me today. Feeling positive!!!

I haven't left yet... am having coffee and trying to find an article I downloaded yesterday... thinking I'll print it off and get reading it en route to the library. Really I'm just delaying...

Stay positive!!! Will get there!!!!

"If you show up for yourself in your life, the universe will show up for you."by Madisyn Taylor"Even if we are suffering, we can show up to that experience ready to fully engage in it and learn what it has to offer. When we show up for our life, we are actively participating in being a happy person, achieving our goals, and generally living the life our soul really wants. If we need healing, we begin the process of seeking out those who can help us heal. If we need experience, we find the places and opportunities that can give us the experience we need in order to do the work we want to do in the world. Whatever we need, we look for it, and when we find it, we engage in the process of letting ourselves have it."

Grateful found PA, only place I can reliably "show up".

Note to self:
Listen to what RisingUp said in another post:

Do NOT try to think of every potential future what-if issue as a precondition of making the call.

Just do the freakin' call and let God take care of the rest!!!!

Act, breathe, trust.

Okay, somehow 2 weeks have gone by since last check-in ... how did that happen?

My latest avoidance: phone calls for dr. appts. and gathering info for health ins. plan.

i have to admit I am avoiding those phone calls at the end of the day.

My new approach for today:

I need to break those down in my head into one call only at a time.

i don't need to do all calls at once, just start with one and then assess if I want to do another one after that
if i can just do ONE call later, then usually it is easier to do more later
so just get contact info for ONE doctor on my plan, get out my info sheet, and then do only that ONE call
i am only going to think of it like that for today until this afternoon at around 3-3:30 when it's time to deal with it.
M.O. -- Do NOT try to think of every potential future what-if issue as a precondition of making the call. Just do the freakin' call and let God take care of the rest!!!!
