Dr A. Weil thoughts... good ones

  • How do I hold back or "repress" my true self?
  • Am I doing what I really want and need to do with my work life?
  • What real talents do I have that I do not actualize regularly?
  • What important promises have I made to myself that I have not kept?
  • If I look back on my life in five years will I be happy about how I lived and worked?
  • Do I believe that I cannot be my true self and be OK? What creative and intelligent thoughts and behaviors do I hide from family, friends and co-workers?
  • Do I stay "small" to protect anyone?
  • How would my life change if I really let my light shine all the time?
  • How often do I eat instead of being my true self?

    • Since we got the treadmill, I've hardly had any time to post here.  So many choices we have to make each day and now the first and biggest one needs to be to exercise.

    I really like the treadmill and I love using it.  It's SO much better than having to go to a fitness facility (in the dead of winter).  I'm sure I'll still be outside when the weather is better but this is a great fall back.  I'll be in such better shape too when summer arrives, that I'll be able to run/walk farther and faster than if I'd spent the whole winter indoors, hibernating.  And, as I've found already this week, it's just THERE.  If I'm going to be watching TV anyhow, I might as well be walking.

    Now, this hasn't helped my weight (YET) - and I know there are several reasons.  yadda, yadda, yadda... muscle weighs more than fat, etc.  Also, we've had to dine out a couple of times and restaurant food (with its high salt, higher fat content and my inability to control ingredients, etc) always make me gain.  So I'm actually up a pound over the week but that will come off shortly.

    My children are here visiting me from out of town so again, I don' t have time to post much this morning.  But I really like AW's questions and I wanted to get them in here so I can answer them at leisure later.

    If you're reading this, I hope you're finding the journey worthwhile.  I appreciate the support others have shown me on my journey. Take care.
