Well there is a 2-week gap between my last post and this one. Did I happen to mention 1 of the things I’m using self-hypnosis for is procrastination? Odd… you look like you already knew. The last 2-3 weeks have been heavy-heavy weeks. Long hours getting things done, late nights and early mornings. One improvement I absolutely [...]

Ok, haven’t had so much success as my last post… it’s been a stressful week and I’ve restored to my old-school habits of work-eat-work-eat-work-eat… and I had a phenomenal bout with the bathroom the other night, so whatever I was eating wasn’t the right choice Besides typical work-related stress we have our 20-mile training [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.” [...]

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 [...]

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 fell asleep last night before getting to listen to the script. I was so incredibly drained at the antics of certifiably insane people that have targeted my loved ones for incessant harassment that I just let sleep happen. It was also well past midnight and I had to get up at 615a. I guess [...]
