Listen to Goal Setting CD
Random Strategy From Personal Development for Smart People: #60–Gym rat–I need to boost my metabolism, concentration, and mental clarity by exercising for 30 minutes a day.
Comments: In accordance with today’s theme (November 3) of exercising valor and doing what scares me, I have assigned myself the first two tasks above. Then I will bolster myself up with the self-esteem CD. The theme of exercise that I picked for tomorrow is very fitting. I have been staying out of the gym this past week to allow my neck to heal from the accident I had a week ago, but now it is time to get back into it. I plan to exercise frequently while on the Master Cleanse.
Day 12 Results
I processed a whole heck of a lot of unopened mail this morning. Some of which I had better act upon. It seems as if I got through all the piles, and yet I have not come across an envelope that I put aside a couple of days ago that I know contains something I need to sign and return. This is so scary!
Also in the morning, I did my self-esteem hypnosis CD. It was really timely in that I was feeling like I needed to get a better grip on my paperwork. Also, the day before, I had a couple of encounters with energy vampires. I live in a largely positive world and most of my interactions add to my energy, but I had a few yesterday that brought me down. I was told recently by an intuitive medium that I absorb the energy of others very easily and I need to learn to protect myself from the negative energy. It is true. Sometimes I feel like the Empath on Star Trek. I do always bounce back, but it would be better to “return to sender” rather than absorb the negative energy in the first place. So the self-esteem hypnosis CD ended up being a really good pick. I feel great now.
OK-so after having my self-esteem bolstered, I was ready to take on a financial task. I did some bookkeeping and deposited some checks for an organization that I am the treasurer for. It was a simple task, but one that I have been avoiding for a little too long. The issue is that a couple of years ago I accepted the treasurer position because nobody else would do it. Bad mistake. I now know to only do what you love. It is my goal to get rid of my treasurer-hood by the end of this year. I also do not quite 100 percent resonate with the organization itself, so this is a no brainer.
I felt some resistance today to doing my goal setter CD because I was feeling more drawn to doing a sabotage armor hypnosis CD instead. Again, due to some residual negative energy crabbiness from yesterday, I felt like playing defense. However I ultimately was fine with the goal getter hypnosis CD because it was like playing offense. If you consistently define and meet your goals than sabotage is rendered irrelevant. Do you see what I mean?
I did not act like a gym rat today because I had a lot to get done before attending the wonderful vegan meetup this evening. I did not want to be indoors in a gym when I could be outdoors raking leaves, which is exactly what I did. Being outside was particularly important for me today in order to work off some of the crabbiness I was experiencing. All in all it ended up being a great day. I was a yard gym rat today!
Tonight I started the pre-Master Cleanse preparation by drinking a cup of smooth move tea. I have meditated throughout the day on how I am going to be a gym rat throughout the Master Cleanse. I also want to be an outdoors gym rat–I was during my last Master Cleanse and found it very helpful. I am not sure how often I will be posting the status of my cleanse, but it will be often, if not daily. I really look forward to this cleanse and will not rush it or the transition off of it like I did with the one in September. In September I ended it with the minimum recommended 10 days and the three-day transition off of it. The thing is, and I realized it at the time, I felt like I was on the brink of achieving great gains. Had I just added on a few days, I think the benefits would have been much greater. So I am going into this one with the mindset of allowing the cleanse and the juicing afterwards to go on for as long as it feels right. This means that I will be open to the possibility of having a liquid Thanksgiving dinner.
I am happy to say that I completed and posted my Weight Watchers and the Raw Food Diet article. It was a fun one to write and may not be exactly what you expect. If weight loss or weight maintenance is an issue for you, than please give it a read.
