heal physically and emotionally

I saw this on someone elses list…a very interesting woman…and I felt I should add it to my own. I was a neglected child, an used teenager and an abused wife. I have made it through, and I want to be able to heal. I have been having some mysterious colon problems that have caused me to lose alot of weight. I want to be healthy and radiant. Im 32 years old and it’s time to heal.

Just saw this entry and thought I would add to it. I am definitely not 100% but I am making progress. I keep missing the person I WAS and USED to be and it gets in the way of who I am now. But I am realizing that things are moving in the right direction, even though it has been a tough road, there is progress.

Today was the day I spoke with my therapist and told her of my inability to heal on my own. She made me realize this is not defeat, but quite the opposite. The plan is to get on some medication for a while to go along with the talk therapy so I can clear the drudgery that is my brain right now. I am normally anti-medication, just because it is my nature, but I realize that once in a while, like once in my past, it helped me onto better days:)

Now that I have recognized probably 90% of my problem (in my estimation), I need to be pro-active. My mini-goals to accomplish this are:

1. Stick to my 1700-2000 calorie diet
2. Find a good therapist/psychologist/someone to help me overcome my phobia
3. Use my art as an outlet to heal
4. Practice yoga/affirmations daily

If I have a list maybe I will stick to it, since I love making lists so much..hehe..maybe it would be worth my while to actually get things crossed off of it..lol
