Well. Lovely.

Such a wonderful feeling of well-being this morning! I love that feeling...I'm not sure what precipitates it, normally, but at the moment I'm going to attribute it to taking some positive steps.

I've begun eating better again...not ENTIRELY, but somewhat, anyway. More fruit, vegetables, lean meat, less...um, junk. I love some of those wonderful ( Read more... )

zen, life, peace, health (mental and otherwise!)

Thanks, babe! I'll tell you more about that when we have a chance to talk!

Kate, I post anonymous because I've no OpenId or Live Journal. It's funny to read abot your experience with Eric Maisel. I'm also in this yahoo-group and I've read a lot of his books. We can talk about our experiences later. Martine

Hi Martine! I'm glad I changed my LJ so I can get anonymous comments, then (but thanks for signing your name...)

I've only read one of his books, A Writer's San Francisco, but looking forward to this new one. I'm really surprised at the difference this has already made--I'm used to expecting things to be a lot more difficult!

Thank you for this entry today, - just what I need these days as my and the boy's life are taking new turns for the better.
Looking back can make me feel so sorry for myself, and I don't want that! Life is great in itself and with focus on the opertunities that lies ahead, I know there are many wonderful surprises waiting for me/ us.I've been looking into one of his books lately. but this tip of yours got right to me.

Hello, Merete! I'm glad my post was timely...it was for me, too. There are just things we have to let go of, that we can not do anything about--can't fix them, change them, or change the people involved, so letting go WORKS. I don't want the past--and my past reactions and old tapes--to poison the present, or the future.

Eric Maisel's new book on Ten Zen Seconds can be preordered from Amazon, which I did!

Kate this is a super post and timely for me too - I'm going to give it a try. So glad it worked for you, negative feelings are so destructive and take so long to shake off sometimes.

Hi Felicity! Yes, I discovered that if I just catch them in time, I can free myself rather quickly. Of course sometimes you just feel like a good tussle.*G*

I'm looking forward to seeing how the book turns out...Maisel is using the response of some of the list members to help steer a course, and the responses he's posted have been very interesting.
