How To Maestro Change
The other night Diana had come home late from a meeting and was having dinner I joined her and had a thought about almonds Having eaten a apple earlier why not some almonds?
So I hauled out the container and after several handfuls closed the container lid Well the lid got opened again Then again Then again Hey what a minute! I put them away finally
The next morning there was a simple heaviness not uncomfortable, just a heaviness Almonds?
The next step is …….I have been through this so much in life I have elected to take the path of least resistance Don't fight with the fact that such and such happened Hey it happened
But you would think I would know better etc etc etc Self recrimination judgment
I have decided not to try too hard If I get into emotional turmoil about it I risk addictive behavior because what I feed emotionally simply gets stronger So if my thoughts feed the overeating it just gets magnified by how I handle it in my mind
So in order to prevent any behavior we need to witness ourselves in the midst of these nonsupportive thoughts
So nutrition takes on a new level of understanding We can nourish our thoughts by reinforcing them and by our nourishment they get stronger
Or I can stop feeding these nonsupportive thoughts and let them shrivel up and go away
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
