Steroids, Rage and Anger

Steroids, Rage and Anger

People with chronic disease have daily struggles to go through even when all seems to be well and we are in relatively perfect health. There is the legacy of all those years previously as a cripple. Financial, family, friends, home, all these are affected and leave a legacy that still presents itself even after all should have been healed.Perhaps not just an EFT post in itself, also awareness-raising and a public apology for those poor recipients of an email reply-to-all that I did in response to a spammer.To cut a long story short, because of finances I found myself in a situation where I breathed in a great deal of oily soot. My flatmate, who is very nice, simply did not appreciate what I really meant when I said no, I can't have incense-burning in the home. After all, I had initially said yes, not understanding myself why I should not expose myself to it. A week ago, he kept lighting one after the other with his door ajar while I was too busy working on the computer to notice, till it was too late. I got no sleep that night until I…
Weight Loss Breakthrough

Weight Loss Breakthrough

I have been trying the affirmation "I am 68 kg and that is my weight", and it just kept bringing up resistance in the form of "but..." and I didn't hear beyond the "but". So today, in the gym on my bike, I tried it again, tapping with my hand and finger points on the handlebars. A better affirmation came through"I am 68 kg and I am capable". Suddenly, I realised I was going really fast on the bike, feeling really good, repeating "I am 68 kg and I am capable, very capable, I am capable". I didn't need to do my usual bike motivation, this got me going on its own. So I was wondering why, still tapping my finger points on the handlebars. And then the answer finally came tumbling out: Since I first fell ill about 19 years ago, terrible things happened to me as a direct or indirect consequence of having fallen ill. The vast majority of these tragic things happened when I was 68 kg. I carried on with my gym session, then went to the changing rooms and locked myself in the toilet for a few minutes.…
Dieting

Dieting

For better lung function, I need to lose weight and change my diet. I have been finding it hard, and now I can direct my attention to my weight, as I have cleared most of the other more pressing lung disease problems with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).I did a treatment today on the time when I was very poor (I was constantly struggling financially due to having a chronic disease) and an aunt sent me money and I went to Pret A Manger and ate and ate and ate. My then boss was a cocaine addict who took way too much cocaine before he took a potential client out, sold his company all the services that were promised to my largest client, and the company refused to compensate me (I was on commission). My daughter had to forget going to University, that's how bad it was. His answer was "let her get a job". So I treated using the shortcut from the KC to the KC, with "Even though I have this Pret A Manger feeling, ...", reducing the feeling from 10 to 0, and then a memory from childhood popped up. I…
