Inner Peace

I'm the living proof that the right therapy can liberate you.

I experienced something totally unexpected this week. I was able, through a guided introspection/relaxation, to re-live the event that ruined my whole life. An event, that any child would've lived without having any after-effect. It seems for me, it was different. I thought I was responsible for what happened. And all my life after that, inconsciously, I thought I had something to hide, something so terrible I didn't deserved to be happy. I basically sabotaged my own happiness because I was guilty of something that couldn't be forgiven.

And now. Now that I had this 'revelation'. My life is already different. I feel free. I feel liberated. I feel good. Laughing out loud, for no particular reason. Smiling to myself, for so many reasons.

If you're still wondering weither or not you should start a therapy, well believe me, miracles can happen.

Inner peace can happen.

Pssst! BTW, I highly recommend the rational emotive behavior therapy :).

Wonderful. New. Life.

My new me suits me very well. Changes are effective and I feel reaaaly good. I'm taking small steps to be freer, happier, lighter.

I have a list of things I would like to either change/improve/stop/start in the coming weeks/months. I'm taking one or two things at the time, so I dont become overwhelmed. It includes

- Waking up early: done - the habit is taken and I really enjoy it. I'm usually up at around 5 am

- Sleeping early: done - didn't sleep later than 10:00 - 10:30 pm for a whole month which is very unusual :). I guess it goes with the previous point!

- Exercise: partly done - I started a yoga course and am walking 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon to get/take my son to school. Would like to do some more.

- Eating well: I mean very well. For myself and for the planet. No meat, less dairies, no process food, etc. Ramadan was very helpful so I was able to "reset" my body and I am ready to take the eat-well challenge.

- Put an end to consumerism. I'm really motivated, especially after spending hours decluttering and realizing that I owe enough (read: too much). My motto these days: I will no longer find pleasure in buying and having material things. Told you I'm a new person! One really nice tip I could share with you is if you want to buy something, put it on a 30-days list (with the date next to it). If after 30 days you still want the item than you can consider buying it - if you really need it and think you cannot do without.

- Get rid of my credit card. Seriously.

- Turn off computer after 3 pm. Should be the hardest habit to change.

Everything will go through the 21-days test.

Life is wonderful when you take care of yourself.
