Feel’n Alright

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1AYs7nDbvf8C-c7yHY1DDZXPeOr7ZnTMYGood Afternoon,


How is everything my friends? For me they are going well. I am feeling pretty good. Still waking up before the alarm no matter what time I set the damn thing. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I stopped sleeping with my Apple Watch and I truly do think I am sleeping better. I do miss not having it during the day, I keep looking at my arm for the time. Plus it unlocks my phone when I am wearing a mask. Haha!


Today was Day 7 of the Insight Timers Beginners Guide to Meditation and I am proud to say I did it. Adding in the days before I found the Beginners Guide I have probably meditated for 10 or 11 days. I can in all honesty say I am starting to notice a difference.


Take today for instance, I normally wait until my girls are off to school and the house is quiet before I start meditating. Today I was excited to finish the course, so I couldn’t wait. I started before one of them left and I heard her getting ready during my session. In the past this would have been a trigger and I would have let it ruin my whole day, but I didn’t. I stayed with the meditation, oh I was fully aware of what was going on around me, but it did not disturb my Zen.


The down side to finishing the course is now I have to find another guided meditation to add into my spiritual tool bag. Tomorrow I will go back and do the chakra balancing meditation I was doing before finding Insight Timer. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, I highly recommend it. 


I’ve moved on to another Crystal Healing course. My third one to be exact. Shaw Academy everything was going fine and then all of a sudden the videos “aren't available” anymore. I think I was going to fast for them so they wanted to slow me down. So I cancelled that subscription. Then I went to something called Evolve Healing and they only release one week at a time, even though you pay for the month upfront. Plus they also “recommended” I purchase crystals from them, which wouldn’t get to me for 2-4 weeks and cost close to $600. Yowza!!


Waiting for one of my papers to be reviewed in my creative writing course. Then I’ll be able to move onto Week #9. I’m certainly getting my money’s worth with that class. I haven’t been actively writing for NANOWRIMO, but I’ve come pretty close. What the hell is NANOWRIMO? November is National Novel Writing Month. Where writers all over the world try to spur their creativity by setting a goal to write a certain amount of words a day. Thankfully due to the writing course and this blog, I’ve been averaging about 1500 words a day and I have some serious frame work for 5 chapters so far. Which is the furthest I have ever gone with my writing. I usually lose interest. Not this time!

No Longer Frustrated… Part 2

Good Morning, So sure enough the alarm was set for 6:30 am to get my son to work. Woke up at 5:40 am. I tried for a few minutes to go back to sleep, but after about 15 minutes I figured it was no use. So I started to get ready for my day. Now, I will say I do feel like I got a good night's sleep and I don’t remember waking up any other times, so that is good. I figured with having such a relaxing day I would have no trouble falling and staying asleep. So as I mentioned yesterday Allie and I were both having a Reiki session at a place just blocks from our house. I have to say I am having mixed feelings about my experience. For one my experience at the Ren Faire was much different than the one we experienced yesterday. That is not to say yesterday was bad. It was just different. At the Ren Faire she told us which ones were blocked and why they may be blocked and also gave solutions as to how to keep them open.  Another thing was that according to yesterday my Crown, Third Eye and Thr...

I’m Back Baby!

Good Afternoon, I hope you are having a good day. Today’s been interesting to say the least. Good thing/Bad thing, I slept late. Good because I got the sleep I needed. I have recently started to stop sleeping with my Apple Watch. I thought I was doing a good thing by tracking my sleep, but it turns out it was notifying me for everything. Sometimes it was even telling me to close my ring by going for a brisk 15 minute walk at 2 am. Having not worn it for a few days now I am starting to think I don’t need it. Bad, because I am completely thrown off my morning routine. Usually when I come down in the morning that house is completely quiet. Of course it is why would anyone be up at 6 or 7 am if they didn’t have to. But it turns out if I don’t get that quiet time in the morning it sets up my day to be as smooth. Determined to not let it get in the way of having a great day I completed Day 5 of the 7 Day Beginners Guide to Meditation. It was much harder to shut off my brain later in the day....

Getting Better (All The Time)

“Me used to be angry young man Me hiding me head in the sand You gave me the word, I finally heard I’m doing the best that I can.” -Lennon/McCartney Good afternoon, Kinda like the idea of song titles and quotes to begin each post. Especially if I can find one that fits my mood, which shouldn’t be too hard, right? What does seem to be hard is writing this post, so I’m going to just start writing. Didn’t get a great night of sleep, but it doesn’t seem to have affected my mood. Counseling session went well and he agreed to keep it every other week. Now interestingly when discussing my near break down last weekend he said next time to try tapping on my chest to calm myself.  Ironically this is something the healer at the Ren Faire mentioned to me as a way to calm myself when I felt myself being triggered. She even went as far as to write down the gentleman's name and the name of the program (of course I lost the paper). But I remember that I subscribed to it on YouTube, so I am going t...
