Today was a really busy day. I took Tyler downtown for his physical for work, and sat at starbucks for like half an hour. Then I decided compulsively to buy my sister a printer. So we went to staples and Tony Salce was our salesman! lol. so we decided to buy a kind of expensive one for ourselves and give the old one to her. I don't know why I did it, it was like $130 YIKES. I think we're going to take it back and buy a kind of lower end one. The one we had was great, but she needs a printer and the one we bought is wireless so I could print from my computer. I don't know. I think we'll take it back. I forgot to give it to her today anyway so I might change my mind if I find something cheap but useful for her, or give her our old one...:-/
Then I went to lunch with Stacie (ms. griffith) :) I love her. We had a lot of fun talking about random things, and eating yummy food. She is such an amazing person, and we haven't been able to get together for a while, so it was good to see her.
Then I went to physical therapy. I've been going to rehabilitate my knee, but also make my whole body stronger and healthier. Today I kicked butt, I did extra exercise at the end and felt good about it. I sweated my ass off, which means it was working. lol.
Ran home from that, didn't have enough time to shower (yuck) so I covered myself in perfume and was out the door again. Went over to my friend Tiffany's house and picked her and her friend Michelle up, then went to SWIHA (SouthWest Institute of Healing Arts) for hynotherapy. This was my first time doing it, but it was really cool. Jenn, my sister, was my hynpotherapist. I asked to start out with something small but pretty important. I asked her to teach me to relax. I've always felt that I'm ALWAYS stressed, so much so that when I'm not, I find a way to be. I don't feel that I really know what it feels like to truly relax, so that was my mission. I was able to be hypnotized, which is really awesome. My mind was still totally aware and conscious, so I didn't go that deep, but I felt my body change and get heavy and numb and relaxed and calm. It was really cool. She also implanted an anchor, or a trigger, so that if I'm feeling stressed or anxious, I can breathe in deeply and exhale (that's what we decided on) and I will feel that sense of calm and peace and relaxation no matter where I am. So, I'm going to put that to practice and see if it works. I'm excited and have hopes that it will work. I feel that a lot of my problems stem from that, so hopefully that will start me fixing other things and then we can do sessions working on other major issues I have. My friends enjoyed their sessions too, so we'll be going back Thursday and then having jenn do private sessions cuz the clinic only goes through next week and she has other things to do next week so she won't be going anymore. But I'm glad I did it and I think it will be a really useful thing for me. I wanna do past life regressions though! lol. Small steps...
I'm very tired, and I should sleep really well. This might not work out everyday, but maybe I can get into talking more about my feelings and what's going on in my life with a little more familiarity. And with that, I say adieu.
