Challenge #1 – Day 20 – If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Try To Fixate…
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 [...]

Sunday, September 6, 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 [...]

Saturday, September 5, 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 [...]

Thursday, September 3, 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.” [...]

Wednesday, September 2, 2009
I didn’t sleep very well last night. I can’t remember why, but I think I woke up a little while after I fell asleep and, because it was very abrupt, I woke up all panicky and freaked out…like I was sure I was going to get hit by a meteor and I couldn’t remember where [...]

Tuesday, September 1, 2009
I really have nothing new to report today. I’m still operating at a lower stress level. At this point, I am pretty well convinced that as I continue, I might actually continue to see more improvement. Another interesting observation: On a normal day, without any outside influence creating an unusually high level of stress (basically, a NORMAL day), [...]

Monday, August 31, 2009
Okay, so yesterday I wondered why I was anxious and I wondered if it was because today something horrible would happen. Well, today I learned that I have gallstones, which is really more of an inconvenience than “something horrible,” but it still sucks. I have an appointment with a surgeon on Friday, but I plan [...]

Sunday, August 30, 2009
I listened to my script last night, and I slept GREAT. I even had a ridiculous dream where I had quadruplets. It was bizarre. Today was not especially stressful, but RIGHT NOW I feel like I am going to leap out of my skin. I hate that. I think it may have something to do [...]

Saturday, August 29, 2009
I listened to my script last night and, as expected, I woke up this morning feelin’ faaaabulous. I think this script must trigger the pleasure center of my brain, because it always makes me have happy, pleasant dreams. In fact, I have been blathering on about this so much that hubby finally decided to see [...]

Thursday, August 27, 2009
Finally, my posts have caught up…phew. So, I went right back to listening to the script last night. No reason not to, really. Now that I have tested the theory, I know that there is a marked difference. Another side effect, or perhaps logical result, is that I have this oddly optimistic feeling hanging over me like…well…like [...]

Thursday, August 27, 2009
(please note, Day 9 occurred on Wednesday) Just as an experiment, I decided to skip the audio at bedtime last night and see if I noticed the difference, and I must say that without listening to the script, I did NOT sleep as well. While I had been sleeping through the night without interruption and waking [...]

Monday, August 24, 2009
So, I am sitting in McDonald’s, letting them provide me with some wireless so that I can keep everyone posted about my self-hypnosis. Normally, I would be wiggin’ out over something like this. Seriously. Right now, I’m just rolling with the punches which is something that my brain is generally not programmed to do. I [...]
