Hi Beth,
Got
your
comment that was posted on this blog. I am now focusing all of my
efforts on the 90 day Shealy plan in order to learn how to THINK
differently so that I can really have less stress in my life.
As you see, I've been blogging for some time but ignore the early
stuff. All of the rest of the blog posts have prepared me for this.
As
I have
been writing, reading, seeking and praying, I am convinced that this
encompasses all that was missing in my other attempts to become
less-stressed because it targets other parts of human consciousness
besides the logical/language centered cognition that either narrates the
reason for my stress or describes my symptoms of upset. My real issue
is in how the thoughts make me feel! I want to know how I can fight
thought with thought or rather stressful thought with peaceful thought
or even better stressful thought with peaceful feeling, thought, belief,
subconscious awareness- whatever I can use. You only have to have a
stress-related cardiac arrest once to realize that normal thinking is
not enough to combat stress.
I've
posted Day #1. It is my own version of the instructions. I plan to
create audio files in the future, so that I can hear myself telling
myself that "I AM calm and serene."
Let me know how it goes with
you.

Dear Beth,
Thanks for joining me on this adventure of creating a less stressed life. I have recorded the first day of our 90 Days to Self-Health by Norman Shealy. It took me three days to do all three sessions of Day 1 to my satisfaction, so I'm guessing it may take me a wee bit longer than 3 months. However, it will be worth it. I experienced something wonderful to day...actually felt it.... when I got to the last session. It was even better than relaxation! I will have to learn how to do this but I plan to upload the Audio version of the instructions so that you can have them on the go OR RATHER on the "stop." So that you can actually stop and take your 15 minute relaxation break. I will use this blog to post. The blue text represents my new start with the blog. As you see, I've been writing on for a while. Please don't read the back story--ok read it if I just made you curious--but so much has changed since I first started. My whole approach to health and healing is different following my "reboot."
So, I will let you know when the audio files have been loaded and then we will be on our way.
(well I have been writing a comment for several hours now on and off and realized I was not logged in and it did not save...breath..breath.) let me try this again...lol
ReplyDeleteDear Cheryl,
It was so wonderful talking with you yesterday and thank you for sharing your journey, you are a true inspiration.
Yay..congratulations of completing the first session successfully, that is awesome! I am looking forward to reading/listening to Shealy and the techniques to a stress free life..ahhh that sounds so nice.
I started little things today. When the situations came (because they always do) that make my blood pressure rise I tried to be aware of my reaction and breath through them instead of react immediately..baby steps I guess.
I will admit, in the past when I have tried not to yell, be calmer etc. I eventually felt this bottled pressure inside that needed to escape..Need to figure that out..haha.
I breezed over your past posts but did not read thoroughly..its all good though, I want to stay focused on Self-Health. Starting at the core and practicing basic stress re-leaving techniques is more the direction I am interested in as well at this point in my life.
