Motivation in the heat

Motivation in the heat

This morning dragged on...Got up, did work, did more work, had breakfast, did more work, had some water, did more work, watched TV... and the running was still waiting...Realising I just didn't feel like it today, as the "I am a good runner" affirmation was playing inside my head, I decided to tap: Setup on the Sore Spot:"Even though I don't want to go running, I choose to be healthy"At the third Setup repeat, I put my shoes on and ran out of the flat into the street! It was very hot and the sun was out, so I kept tapping my KC against the UB points and repeating "one minute ten seconds" or "one minute 20 seconds" on each stretch of jogging (I walk, jog, walk, jog). Today, I managed to do 2 lots of 1 min 20 s and 4 lots of 1 min 10 s :-) Yaaaaaay!

Swimming on Fridays

Swimming on Fridays

I'm going swimming now once a week instead of the jog that day. I thought jogging was hard, wow! So, today I did more than last week; I did 6 lengths, one at a time, resting about 3 minutes in-between each, and then I did one froggy and doggy paddle type length to finish it off. I got into the pool feeling sorry for myself. The local council (municipality) pool stinks, the toilet stinks, they have many rigid rules, and I miss my lovely gym. However, they do have a long pool which forces you to swim a whole length.So, flagging half-way through my second length, I rubbed both my Thumb points with my forefingers as I swam and kept singing in my head:"I am a good swimmer, I enjoy swimming for health" The second part, with "enjoy" in it just didn't sit well, but I persisted, and by the end of the second length, I was enjoying this swim! I feel really good, more toned and breathing better.

I’m running for health, not running around in circles!

I’m running for health, not running around in circles!

Before EFT, I would never,ever, not in a million years, had the guts or the calmness to do what I did today. I am just tapping on any points I can access (mainly CB, it feels right), while I type this. SUDS 4 1/2. This lung consultant chappie I saw last week got me an appointment at his NHS hospital for "the treatment that you should be getting" which in that conversation I was led to believe was physiotherapy to teach me how to cough. Now, I'm not the world's biggest cynic, but he has deceived me in that appointment by prescribing a steroid inhaler disguised as a "stronger inhaler" even though I told him told him that long-term I cannot take steroids. As I type and tap, I no longer care: SUDS 0 :-) Resolve simply to let the doc who referred me to this silly chappie have my feedback for future reference. I can't even be bothered to tell you the rest of this story, it's just unimportant ..... yawning.... yawning again..... relief :-) Oh yeah, I cancelled the appointment when I found out it had no planned physiotherapy..... yawn.. I…
I enjoy running for health

I enjoy running for health

As I was running today, I had very constricted breath. The muscles I had been using for coughing over 6 months of environmental hazards and chest infections were too strong; the muscles I had been underusing for breathing in by working at my desk instead of having good aerobic workouts were way too lax. I rubbed the finger points for "this constricted breath" as I was running and it seemed as if the too strong coughing muscles relaxed a bit. Still, I was thinking at one stage: "This is boring". I thought of the lovely gym I was going to rejoin and felt sad. So I said to myself "I am a good runner, I enjoy running for health", made it into an anthem and tapped it into the finger points. I timed myself, rubbing the finger points as I did the jog, this time one minute and twenty seconds at a stretch. I managed 6 of these :-) :-) :-)"I am a good runner, I enjoy running for health":-) :-) :-) When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative impact on you can make…
Constricted breath

Constricted breath

Before running today, tapped for "constricted breath", "this poor bronchiole", "this bronchial obstruction", and for "this ineffective bronchus orbronchiole". As I was running, kept up the affirmation "I'm a good runner, I am". Did 1/2 hour in total, with 5 one-minute jogs. It was very hard but I did it. I feel much better for it.

My positivity rubbing off

My positivity rubbing off

My positivity, changes in attitude, not taking any also-ran, and sheer determination, is rubbing off on my partner, who is recovering from a serious disabling accident. We are shortly going for a walk "for the exercise" - not my suggestion either!My partner and my children are now 100% supportive of me. I could not have said that 4 months ago, when I started this more specific treatment.I have also been asking them to tap on issues to do with it and we have been tapping together.

This plus affirmation of "I'm a good runner, I am". Ran half an hour on and off.

Running for my life

Running for my life

Running as scheduled this morning - all I managed was 4 minutes on and off - maximum of 30 seconds jogging, but I know that for me, at the start, that's good.

Clearer thinking

Clearer thinking

Lots of tapping on this doc thing, guess what I've come up with? There was this writing somewhere on my walls, that said steroids can help you, maybe abetter mainstream doc can help you. Erm, why? I have all that I need. I found out after taking what felt like all the steroids in the world plus some more this lung doc gave me (mixed with a bronchodilator drug), that I still just couldn't breathe - because of my chest muscles! I had been coughing so much and exercising so little and working too much to notice that my muscles were squeezing my lungs. So it wasn't the EFT not working, because I was on a mighty cocktail of anti-inflammatory drugs and still no tangible result. How silly is that, not realising? Maybe I was so short on oxygen and sokeen to pay back creditors, I just didn't notice. Today started doing specific exercises, drawing upon my experiences with Yoga and Pilates. Oh yeah, and I'm going running in the morning. And I'm weaning off these silly steroids. Today I had an important meeting to attend, luckily they were understanding when I said…
