Rebuilding My Foundation

First of all, thank you all for your comments, emails, thoughts, and prayers regarding my last post.
I’m feeling a lot better today. Why?
Because I’m back to focusing on the fundamentals.
One of the biggest things that I’m guilty of when it comes to my own health is a lack of persistence when it comes to doing those basic things that everyone needs to do to take care of themselves. I don’t sleep properly, drink too much coffee, smoke, don’t look at what I put into my body, and get as little exercise as possible.
Hmm… I wonder why my mood has been so shitty lately???
You know, when I first quit drinking, that was all that mattered. As long as I wasn’t pouring alcohol (and god knows what else after I’d had a few) into my body, there could only be improvement. It just comes naturally when one stops poisoning themselves. And at that point, the cigarettes, coffee, and sweets actually saved me from myself on more than one occasion.
So now it’s time to bring it to the next level. And, as always, I’m seeing what I’m looking for in the Universe.
It was probably about a week ago that I heard a stress expert on a local radio show (I can’t remember her name) talk about how she always starts with the body when it comes to relieving stress. She talks with her clients about what their nutritional habits are, and starts there.
And then after that, I listened to an interview with James Ray on Producer Revolution Radio where he said something like “We are spiritual beings having a physical experience… but don’t discount the physcial experience!”
Then there were the excellent comments my previous post regarding brain chemistry and change.
Then, I decided to review Simpleology 101 (aff), in which Mark Joyner talks about Energy Power Ups and Leeches… I’d forgotten about those…
And then…. no that’s enough, you get the point.
But the question is… what am I going to do about it?
I can have all of this fantastic information at my fingertips, take no action, and get no results.
Here’s what I’m doing about it.
I’ve been taking a liquid nutritional product (aff) over the past couple of mornings, and have been more careful about what I’m putting into my body, as well as the amounts. It’s not even noon yet, and I’ve already had at least 32 ounces of water.
I’ve started working through Simpleology 101 (aff) once again, in order to really take a look at what it is that I want.
I’ve started reviewing EFT (aff) again, specifically this course on using it to quit smoking.
I don’t have to become perfect overnight. But I do need to keep moving forward on building my life.
Man, I feel good.

Hey Lyman,
Glad to see you’re feeling better!
And yes, things ARE going to be okay
If that helps at all, I feel somewhat similar every now and then myself. Only I’ve got such a character that I cannot feel depressed for any longer than few minutes. I guess it’s a gift.
The good thing about anything bad is that it finally passes away and allows positiveness pour into your life yet again!
Thanks Gleb.
Yes, it is interesting how some people are so much more naturally positive than others. Nature or nurture… doesn’t really matter. People like me just need to work at little harder at developing and maintaining it, which is one of the reasons I started this blog in the first place.
I’m glad things are looking up today, Lyman.
“I don’t have to become perfect overnight. But I do need to keep moving forward on building my life.” We should all post this over our mirrors.
Thank you, Rick. I’m glad, too.
Good to see things are looking up. We need to take care of the fundamentals if we are to grow. Otherwise we are like a tree with no roots straining to the sun. Eventually it will wilt and wither.
It is good, thanks Nneka. You know, I was thinking that I listed all of these things that I’ve started doing to get myself going again, but the first thing that I did was write about what was really going on. I expressed it first, and it wasn’t until I did that that it started to lift. Hiding the disease only allows it to grow.
Keep on developin’ You can do it man.
Never give up. I smoked Marb Reds for 16 years. I tried to quite ten times and failed. the last time I quit was Nov 99 and I haven’t smoked more than one or two since and I haven’t had even one cig in the last five years. So there’s hope.
I’ve been 20-30 lbs overweight and lost it a couple of times. Today I’m back to optimum weight.
I quit drinking from 04-06 and that was something… I drink some now, but nothing like before.
My depression comes and goes. But I’m on about 60 days up.
Lyman, I like this blog. Keep up the good work.
I’m planning to post to the gratitude series.
I’ll put out a good intention for you…
I intend for you to overcome depression and unwanted habits, permanently.
Steve
Thank you, Steve. I really do appreciate the positive examples, the compliments, and the good intention…
And I look forward to your gratitude post!
