How I did it: I don't really want to go into this as despite the achievement the victory is a little hollow. I am me, I accept who I am and I have fought hard to be seen, heard and respected by my family members. However, it has meant that some family members I have had to cut out of my life to achieve being the authentic person I believe I came to be and this is why despite my happiness, it is with a slight sour taste as it is sad I had to… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Every morning, which took awhile to perfect but once I did, i was up at 6 every morning and stretching for 15 min, I built up to 30min. Then I included the sun salutation in my routine every morning. It was on this site that someone suggested yogatoday.com which I subscribed to; i did their classes and stuck with it until i felt strong enough to go back to my classes. I went to my yoga class once a week, and did my downl… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I turned off all my lights, tv,dvd,consoles,computer, music systems,the fridge/freezer and the security lights. I turned off my mobile and ipod. Then I lit candles and sat in the garden with a few friends and we sang songs. It was great. We all committed to this for two hours and although that wasn't very long we felt we'd contributed. I also walked everywhere i had to go that day and my health is definately … Read how I did it…
of my friends into joining me, they can’t do every day so we meet up in various parks once or twice a week. This is week two and it has been a lot of fun and they have helped to take the monotony out of this goal.
Today I decided to not sweat to death in the swelting heat with a shrug. Today I decided to try and go outside, meet up with my friend in a short sleeved top and not get paranoid about my arms.
Never had this paranoia before I got ill. Pills, operations and depression changed my body to the point that I did not recognise the person reflecting back at me; working on my health has improved my body but the mind is still stuck in ‘huge’ girl mode and thus, my arms have not felt the sun for six years – how stupid!
It took a lot of umming and ah-ing but eventually i got out the door. Oh yes, the unkind twin appeared, telling me I was nuts, that i did not look right and it was not the thing to do, cover up and cover up now! I told my twin to piss off, after a lot of arguing back and forth and a big moment when I actually stopped and contemplated taking the shrug out my bag (alas, I did carry it with me – the comfort blanket action)and putting it on; but i kept going and after a while I actually stop thinking about my arms. I had a great day,felt fine and the shrug never saw the light of day.
Brought some flowers to brighten the living room.
Cleaned the front of the house, including the doors and loved the fact that everything looked shiny, clean and new in the bright sunlight.
Sitting infront of the tennis. Totally enjoying the fact that I refuse to give in to the voice in my head telling me to get up and do something, as this sitting is being really lazy.
Ah….happiness all round.
