Transcending Times Newsletter

hi

I read to expand my understanding of the human condition, to broaden my understanding of people, I read to experience or at least glimpse world-views and belief structures that I did not grow-up with and thus did not incorporate into the construct that is me. I want to transcend the limits of space and time and body, not narrow and limit myself. That's the amazing expansive and enlightening power of literature.

I must say " what a wonderful life" when you value your life and have family/friends and family does not have to be a "traditional family" i am blessed to have my mother around and brother/sisters but believe me "family is how you define it" it can be whomever you love an respect!

As many people know by now "I" have made some big changes in the last two years, moving to Florida, entering Rehab, some easy changes - many were not so easy....tonight for the first time in a few weeks I felt at peace - confident, really -:)

Physical Illness from Pressure & Stress…is an interesting one.

It’s also what is called “Psycho-somatic Illness” (somatic is of Greek origin, meaning “of the body”) and it happens when you’re so confused and overwhelmed mentally that it results in actual physical limitations…

The key here is to REFLECT…if you simply take some time out (by yourself) to meditate on what’s wrong and what you need to do, all the answers you need will come to you. (Go do something unique and interesting ALONE…go for a walk, check out a museum, sight-seeing or whatever, and turn off your phone too.)

This is why you’re not supposed to work 7 days a week:if you don’t take any time off from what you’re doing, you’ll lose perspective of things and your body will leverage itself (i.e: stop functioning) as a way to get your attention.

Eventually, I found out being smart was actually cool (andsexy), so you have to do the same thing – gradually create positive, emotional connections to the things that’ll get you somewhere.

Imagine being addicted to making sales calls for a business you’re starting, or smiling as you’re trying out new, healthier foods…visualize THAT and think about what kind of future you see that person (you) headed towards.

Every second, every minute, every hour :(

Thanks everybody! Tonight unforgettable!
