Jan 2014
Sept 2014

I went to the Doctor yesterday because I needed my blood pressure prescription refilled. The weigh in was quick and I didn't have my phone out for a picture. The good news is that I did not gain weight from my last visit. Even though I don't think I have been doing very well. I have been vacationing too much, eating out, drinking wine,.....etc... It must be the walking that has maintained my weight..
Unfortunately, my blood press is high.
So now once again I to keep a record for the next week or so and send it in.
Blood work has been ordered and a new appt. made soon.
I can not tell you how insane this makes me.
I have a new routine, working in the mornings. This I love but, I have to say it has taken away from my morning routine of journalizing, meditating, reading, and even blogging.
I have to figure out where and when I will do yoga, swim and walk. All in the afternoon hour when I'm fatigued, too tried to care.
So today I pulled a card from my Wisdom for Healing by Caroline Myss
"REMAIN CENTERED"
Today's Lesson:
"Focus on conscious tranquility. No matter how stressful the day is, your intention is to remain centered and calm.
You Goal: to learn that you can control your psychic energy.
 
Again, such timely advice. Just reading this card relaxed me in some way. To center myself I must work off lists. It's just my way. Without them I'm lost.
I was just journalizing that my goals have all fallen away. Not that I have met them by any means. No, the end is too far out. I need something I can master and celebrate sooner.
1. I will go to Smith's pharmacy and record my B/P
It's the easiest and I think more accurate then the one I have at home.
2. Bineral Beats for High Blood Pressure will be added to my morning meditation.
3. Record my food, mostly salt in take. It must be high and I have to figure out where its hiding.
4. Yoga, swimming and of course walking. none of which I do regularly right now.
Change, again and always Change. I'm not one for too much change to quickly.
Psychic energy. I have been studying quantum healing lately. Pulling up the energy from the earth and the Universe and bring it into areas that need to be healed. I find it so fascinating.
Here is a great introduction to some of the aides I use to help with my health.
Energy healing
Blood Pressure binarl beats
Essential oils, if your interested in them.

The Fourth Season of Change, Fall

 
Fourth Season of Chance
Fall 2014

It's Fall and the last season for this year. My journey has taken me to places I never expected when I started this transformation. When I first started my goal was simply to walk again. To be healthy enough to enjoy my life, and simply to be grateful that I was still here to enjoy my family.
But with each day came new strength and courage to do more. I am thankful that somewhere deep inside me I still have a bit of competitiveness to say to myself, "Look, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain if you just try it." Of course, there are still many things I wont do. Even though my Dr. has cleared me for zip lining, he has stopped me at base jumping, or bungee jumping.
Thank goodness!!!!
There is a wonderful quote by Maya Angelou,
"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."
Shortly after reading that quote I realized that I must be a butterfly for Halloween.
What I have learned so far about transformation is that it is not about willpower, determination, or discipline. No, everything that made a change for me has been done by routine.
I started walking 5k's in March when I felt that I was strong enough to walk that far. I was wrong, I only made it to one mile. But, it fueled me to continue.
The first 5K, Paces for Payson.
I have since done many more. My goal was to try to do one once a month.
 Now, it seems I'm walking a 5K every weekend!!!
My favorite so far has been the Runway Dash, mostly because Sarah who has been my best supporter of encouraging me to get fit went with us. Of course, Sarah and  Steve ran, and probably would have lapped us if they would have let them continue.

I was going to blog about Soul Coaching, and being inspired by Denise Linn.
But, I think for now, just know that inspiration comes from the ones in your life,
courage comes from within,
 and gratitude comes from your heart.
Be inspired,

Third Season of Change, Examine Unfinished Business

Third Season of Change
Wisdom for
Healing
cards by
Caroline Myss
 
Today's Card
"Examine Unfinished Business"
Today's Lesson:
" Identify one piece of unfinished business(this could relate to a person or a task), then do one thing to bring it to closure. If you find that you're unable to do so, you've identified a major power leak and a serious block to you healing.
Yes this will give me plenty to do today....As the season turns colder and the days have already started to show less light, I see that I haven't made much progress on many of the things I was hoping to change.
Transformation of the physical has many levels of change.
While my weight stays the same, I find that my physical strength has increased. My desire to participate in continuing 5K's has increased to the point that I almost have a 5K event every weekend.
My learning to cook has been increased by the finding and enjoying Raley's cookbook. Unfortunately, these recipes our not low calorie, low sugar and even diet appropriate. But they sure are good.
My unfinished business is still to lose my 100lbs goal. It's now 80lbs so I can not stop.
That's the main goal. But to get there I have other goals that go along with it.
Exercise. Since school has started my daughter has gone back to work leaving me to exercise alone. AWE,,,,,big challenge .
There are plenty of more unfinished business's I have going on. But for this year that was my main one.
The next big business was developing strength in my back and knees.
Both are on track.
Unfinished Business:
Mentally: I have not read a single book this whole summer!!! Why?
Physically: Been very busy with yoga, walking, swimming.
Emotional: I need to get back on track, and be the lone exerciser.
Professional: Artwork. I have only been doing small sketches this year. I bought these little books of paper, 4" x 6" of pastel, acrylic, drawing etc. and they each have 40 pages. Do the math....that's close to 200 sheets of paper I have to draw on. It's keeping me busy.
But, these are not for sale. I can make zazzle note cards from the images and that works out well. But, not for exhibits, selling, or hanging them anywhere.
For that the artwork will have to be larger and framed.
Your Goal:
to understand that all experiences either make you bitter or better.
No I'm not bitter. I just know that all these unfinished businesses are up to me to complete. Yes the season is about to change. Yes, I have to get myself motivated yet again to start in where I left off. Sometimes I just want to stay home and hang out. But too much of that makes me lazy. So it's back to the scheduled calendar. The planning, putting everything into actions and setting goals.
I feel very incomplete right now.
Finding just the right piece to complete the picture.
Be Inspired,
~jean
