Re: my puppy...Pollyanna ways

[Guest guest]

Sally I agree & I try hard to redirect my moods always. Of course some exposures

give me instant depression & negative thinking but I am getting better at

distractiong myself. This past winter I read an uplifting book over & over -

Things Are Going Great In My Absence by Lola . It is somewhat " religious "

as it references the existance of of a God. Another good one is Conversations

With God. A non-religious version is Your Mind The Magician. All give you a lift

- a feeling that you have control over your life's course. NFI

Just ignore my Pollyanna ways; I guess

Oh, I have this as well... not pollyanna.. the opposite. I was and have always

been in the role of saving people and having to deal with reality while everyone

else takes a hike from the pain and situation. Illness and trauma bring up all

kinds of realities and eventually you get to the point to where you question

what is serving you and what is not.. I am and its a never ending process. Lots

of thinking, mindset to reconsider.

Physically, so far dust and chemicals ahve been triggers.. sinuses and brain

inflames and then the hard hitting depression that is so hard to break out of

and catatonic like states where I am stuck in limbo in my brain. Its scary. NO

thinking out of these usually. No quick fix. I can think with this darkness

though and have realized it goes much deeper when I do.. so I try not to feed

it.

I need all the help I can get not to go further into the depression. It helps me

to continunally feed this need with music and books even when not depressed. My

fav is snatum kaur's mantra songs which are so beautiful, You Cant Afford the

Luxury of a Neg Thougt by Mc.. straight forward not fluffy..

reality based thinking during chronic or life threatengin illness, and lots of

books on quantum reality like The Field and The Intention Experiments by Lynne

McTaggart, The Biology of Belief and The Wisdom of Your Cells by Bruce Lipton...

it is more than the body and the body is more complexly miraculous than we can

scientifically pinpoint today but we are getting there. Radical Forgiveness by

Collin Tipping helps with dealing with the emotional traumas that come up form

the past regarding people... and illness has brought a lot of this up for me.
