Wake-up Call Challenge

Krisp_3

Welcome to more newbies - yay!

Craftyscholar - that's very interesting! Yes, I can identify with some of those things. We don't tend to like change (generally speaking) but if we don't make changes, then the things we want may never happen. What's that saying... if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Hmmmmm....:think:

I started reading my NLP Workbook yesterday afternoon (that's when I knew I was starting to feel better!) and then on the train this morning. And then applied some of the things that I had been reading about in a potentially difficult conversation that was sprung on me when I got to the office. I can report success...:D

Hi Krisp, thanks for asking, still feel incredibly sluggish and not wanting to eat. Have forced myself to eat a little bit of salad just now.
My tummy has that feeling when you have eated an incredibly huge meal and its really uncomfortable, if its still like it tom, better get it checked out.

love to all..............

Craftyscholar, that was really interesting. I looked at your link but only read the first couple of chapters, I must say it made me very emotional to think about the little girl I once was and the dreams I had. That little girl loved cooking, but her mum only entertained an academic career. I will read the rest soon

Yes, it's really interesting! And I didn't realise, but I already do a few of the elements of it already, in my day to day life. We'll see...

Forgive my ignorance or poor memory - what's happening with your insurance?? It sounds like you're having a tough time? Take care of yourself x

I know that feeling. There do seem to be a few bugs going round though. Take care of yourself x

Apologies in advance, I think this might turn into an epic.

I joined this thread full of enthusiasm, but for over a week I have been feeling very lethargic, no energy, no interest in doing anything except read rubbish or gaze into space. I knew I wasn’t ill and couldn’t work out what was wrong – then I started to remember something I had read years ago, so had a rummage through my bookshelves and found this.
Ring bells with anyone else??

"If you’ve ever had any of the following thoughts, feelings, or experiences in the course of trying to do or get what you want, you have met fear. Put a check mark beside the ones that are familiar to you, because you’re going to be meeting them again very soon.
�� An overwhelming desire to sleep: you’re suddenly so tired
�� An overwhelming desire to eat: you’re suddenly famished
�� An overwhelming attraction to the paperback rack: you must read [FONT=&quot]Love’s Tender Fury [/FONT]or the latest Travis McGee mystery [FONT=&quot]now [/FONT]
�� The soothing thought, “I’ve got plenty of time. It can wait till tomorrow.”
�� A suddenly blank mind: you were fermenting with plans and ideas, now you’re the Village Idiot
�� A sudden ferment of plans and ideas about eighteen other dreams you’d rather have first, before this one (“Gee, I’ve never been to Europe . . . I can always start my business when I get back.”)
�� A sudden loss of interest in your goal: it fascinated you in theory, but in reality it’s boring, not for you at all (NOTE: Hidden fear will try to trick you into changing your goal whenever it starts getting challenging. That’s why so many of us have picked up and dropped so many activities—not because we’re “dilettantes” who can’t make up our minds.)
�� A sudden conviction that you don’t have what it takes for this goal (“Whatever made me think I was aggressive enough for a job in sales? I’m really a very shy, retiring person.”)

When fear strikes—whether it’s bare-faced or in one of these disguises— what’s to stop you from saying, “I’ve changed my mind. I’m not ready yet”? What’s to stop you from tearing up all your charts, stuffing them in the wastebasket, kicking this book into a corner, and deciding that goals are just a bad ego trip and you’d rather join a Zen monastery or get pregnant instead?"

So now I think I have worked out what has happened I just have to work out how to drag myself out of it.

By the way if anyone is interested this is the link to the original information

Looking back, I can see that my life has been dictated by my fear. I feared that my parents hated me after the things I got up to when I was a teenager, so when my aunts arranged a marriage for me, I jumped at it, because it allowed me to leave my parents, and because I feared no-one would ever love me, thought I should marry this man as no one else would marry me. :embarasse Not really the best of starts...

I first got pregnant after my cousin died, cos I was fearful of leaving nothing behind if I died too. :eek:
I give my boys everything I have because I am scared of their rejection.
I read somewhere that you should feel the fear and do it anyway. :T This will be my aim from now.
Thank you. :beer:

My mum and dad have only ever entertained academic careers too. Even with my son, that's all my mum talks about. I think about my dreams now, and I get confused cos they don't sound like me. I think even then I mistook my mum's dreams for mine. It's only now I'm allowing myself to dream. :A

dipping in again.. need to do homework one two and three and look at the wishcraft page! I have been thinking alot about homework one which i guess is kind of the point, my first step is going to be stop thinking about things and actually do something .. i do seem to be getting things straight in my mind just need to get it down on paper and then deciding what to do first i guess. weight, credit cards, clutter they are all getting low numbers at the moment i think maybe i need to think about what is good about my life first and maybe work from that.... think positive.
