Challenge #1 – Day 30 – Graduation Day!!!
Ah, completion. It feels good.
I can remember when I was just a wee anxious thing, quivering and quaking at the sight of my own shadow. Now I have received my street degree in self-hypnosis, and I have a new, less stressful lease on life.
When I started this project, I was really not the least bit [...]
Challenge #1 – Day 29 – Almost There!!
16. September 2009
I think, since this is day 29, it is safe to say that this stuff works. I notice the improvement when I listen to my script, and – more significantly – I definitely notice a difference when I DON’T listen to the script. I am convinced that there is benefit to be gained from this [...]

15. September 2009
I went to see a showing of the Mario Van Peebles classic, Rappin’, and got home rather late last night. I was tired and decided to just go to sleep.
I don’t really understand why I choose to postpone something that I already know makes me feel better. Significantly. Even as I was going to bed [...]
Challenge #1 – Days 26 AND 27 – Kanye Is An Asshole
13. September 2009
I’m running out of clever titles for these posts, so I am just grabbing things that are current and relevant, and currently and relevantly, Kanye is an asshole.
The last two days have been keeping with the status quo. Stress is under control – ish, so more frequently I have nothing new to report. Even though [...]
Challenge #1 – Day 25 – I Didn’t Fall Off The Bleachers!
12. September 2009
In all fairness, I generally NEVER fall off the bleachers, but sitting at the top of the bleachers makes me want to crawl out of my skin with fear. Rather than being terrified that members of my family will fall down, my worry was contained to hoping that I didn’t drop my phone. I didn’t.
Today [...]
Challenge #1 – Day 24 – Happy Anniversary To ME!!!
10. September 2009
Okay, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the assignment, but it bears mentioning because it is a happy and important day. I love that hubby’o’mine.
I had an interesting set of experiences last night, and I have further evidence that the cumulative effects of the self-hypnosis process is working to chip away at my big, [...]
Challenge #1 – Days 22 AND 23 – Lightning Bugs
9. September 2009
Especially when you have to turn off your computer and unplug it from the wall…not terribly producting, really.
Let’s jump straight into day 22. I really had nothing specific to report, except that just as I was finished listening to my script, hubby threw the door open (he had been fetching some sinus medicine) and yelled, [...]
Challenge #1 – Day 21 – I Slept GOOD Last Night…
7. September 2009
Okay, I imagine that I actually slept WELL.
I know when I write about how well I slept, it seems like I would actually be doing the script for better sleep. The consistent point is that better sleep = less stress. Now, the stress triggers are never going to go away. I will always be afraid [...]
Challenge #1 – Day 20 – If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Try To Fixate…
7. September 2009
When I started this experiment, things had been on a fairly even keel – save for the drama and antics of those crazy bitches I mentioned in a previous post. Often, those minor tangles seem like a major stressor until you are confronted with something heavier, like your health. In my case, my gallbladder may [...]

6. September 2009
Today I realized again that this just might be working. I was at work, and I was really, really hungry. Now, not having food can certainly facilitate any level of anxiety straight up to a full-blown attack. I was hungry and shaky, but at no point was I stricken with that sense of “fight or [...]

5. September 2009
And when I say “glitch,” I mean we finally got the temperature situated in the room. Last night I slept like a stone, until the terrible shrill alarm clock awakened me from my delicious slumber. I was sleeping so soundly that, when it went off, I had to lay still a moment and try to [...]
Continue reading...Challenge #1 – Day 17 – Back In The Hypnosaddle, Again…
3. September 2009
I do believe I have pinpointed the reason I haven’t been sleeping as well these past two nights. It has been just a little too warm for decent sleep. It was such a small difference in temperature, that the needle on my internal thermometer was just a hair’s breadth on the side of “too warm too sleep.” [...]
