So I thought I knew the answer to this one and they do probably play a part in my sabotaging myself.

I immediately came up with the thought that I am afraid I won't be able to have my quite and peaceful down time that I love so much. The person in my dream is full of energy and is on the go all the time. I am very selfish with my time. I am not one of these people who can't sit still and has to be up and doing something every minute.

I try to get most of the errands done during the week, after work so I can have the weekend free if I want to. I am a home body and enjoy my quiet time. I love sitting out on the deck and reading or playing on the computer or watching a TV program. I am okay taking a 20 minute nap on a Saturday afternoon. > > One of the things I notice about my dream self is that she is " VERY " energetic. She is be-bopping all over the place.

If I can't relax and be still; I will feel worn out and hyper. So that is my main objection and was my " ah-ah " moment last night. I connected with that in a way that truly amazed me last night. I hope the book will help me get past that objection because it is a pretty strong one. > > This was another one I came up with that I hadn't thought of before.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Good for you ! I am envious of your aha moment! I did the meditation last night and came up with a blank.. Although I have tons of objections listed on a sheet of paper, when the image in my right hand and the image in my left hand met my mind went blank and the rest of the meditation was just a waste of time. I just don't do well with keeping still and meditations. I think that's because I am just the opposite of you and need to keep busy with something constructive or fun every minute! It's funny how we are all so different. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Great work, ! I identify with so many of your issues. I, too, worry about wrinkles and loose skin when I lose weight. Like you, I am an introvert and need my alone, quiet, down time to recharge. We are a minority in this world, and are often judged harshly by others. Congratulations on some great insight!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yes Judy, we are all different. I meditate for a period of time every morning and have done so for about 15 years. I actually " love " meditation and especially guided meditation. One of the things I do is to spend time with God on a beach in my mind and converse back and forth with Him. One year I journal led my experiences concerning that. It's really cool and I love to go back and reread it from time to time. " Sometimes God allows us to see the miracle. Sometimes God allows us to BE the miracle.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 , I love the objection that you are afraid of becoming someone that, by nature, you're not. I totally get it. I would like to be the perfect teacher, I know what I would take on to achieve that, and it feels as though I would have to give up my sanity to achieve that (much like you-i really value time to explore my own brain, but struggle with any real thought when i'm around others). My imperfections as a teacher cause me inner unrest, but I have to stay aware that I am more than just a teacher, that I have other interests, and other needs. I strive to make my teaching experience creative. I try not to stress that I don't have 12 hours per day to give to it. I don't worry that I haven't and probably won't reach the perfection that I once dreamt of, because the stress and time requirements aren't worth it to me. So I have to focus on what I have done well in my life in order to forgive myself. I know that parts of the dream will always be changed in order for the whole dream to be achieved. You will prioritize throughout your journey according to what you value. Psawyer Gray wrote: >Wow, ! Â It sounds like you communicated really well with your body and soul.
