Challenge #1 – Day 10-13 – In Which I Am Waylaid By Swine Flu

Monday, August 31, 2009

2 Comments

It may not be swine flu, but my friend has been tested with it and there have been 13 to 16 confirmed cases at the University depending on who you ask so it is certainly possible. My symptoms and progression are pretty much the same as hers although I am coughing less. I got it [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 12 – Still Working…

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 [...]

I realize that has nothing to do with this experiment, but I am just so darn glad to be back online…ugh.  Now, back to the topic at hand: (please note, Day 8 occurred on Tuesday) At this point, I am noticing a consistent difference when I listen to my audio script.  I listen to it just before [...]

Maybe not two full steps back but I feel like I am doing some kind of self-hypnosis hokey pokey. When I did my hypnosis script this morning I decided that rather than whisper to myself seductively like I usually do I would speak louder. I was still going for soothing, just at a higher volume. [...]

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 [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 6 – No Internet!

Okay, this is ACTUALLY day SEVEN, but I am just going to pretend like this is day SIX.  My modem died rather unceremoniously, leaving me without any connection to the outside world. So, here is what I did yesterday.  I decided that since the “listening to the script before I fall asleep” seemed to be working [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 5 – Deeper and Deeper

Sunday, August 23, 2009

Using the sleep process last night was much more successful. I was out by around 70 and the sleep was much deeper. I typically wake up several times a night and last night I managed to only wake up once and that was due to my precious real estate in bed being encroached upon. Of [...]

Challenge #1 – Day 3 – I Am Friggin’ BRILLIANT

Thursday, August 20, 2009

So far, the most difficult thing to get past is the “reading aloud.”  I find the personal awkwardness so distracting, that I am certain it is hindering my ability to fully benefit from the exercise.  It requires a special kind of strategy to secure the right time to sequester yourself in the back of your [...]
