Wow, what a powerful and magnificent week. Just finished my detox I said I would do and it was awesome. I really did watch and observe my thoughts, made an effort to watch what I spoke, and kept my vibrations high. In addition to the detox, I continued to read from The Power and continued my gratitude journal at night. The combination of all of these gave me what I needed to live the amazing week I knew I could have. Nothing changed in my environment, but my thoughts, attitude, feelings, and words, and that changed my world.
I know several of you said you would try the detox as well. I would love to know how the week was for you. If you are just starting the detox, please check in when you are done.
Just wanted to share something from The Power about health that I thought was powerful. Have a wonderful week.
"What do you want? What would you love? Because that is what you must give to your body. Your cells are your most loyal subjects who serve you without question, and so whatever you think, whatever you feel, becomes the law of your body. If you want to feel as good as you did when you were a child, then give your cells those commands: I feel amazing today. I have so much energy. I have perfect eyesight. I can eat whatever I want and maintain my ideal weight. I sleep like a baby every night. You are the ruler of a kingdom and whatever you think and feel becomes the law of your kingdom - the law within your body."
Peace and blessings.
Hi Vicki, I am not responding quite as specifically as you asked, but I wanted to talk about what Thought Detox means to me.
ReplyDeleteI have a stepmom blog and through a number of online groups,I am in touch with thousands of stepmoms--a few of whom have found peace in their role, while the majority seem to be in chronic pain. As for me, I'm a part of the former group. It didn't come easily or quickly, but at some point I realized I just need to give up all judgments regarding the biomom/former spouse, not to mention judgements about what my life as a stepmom should look like.
When something happens with my husband and his former wife, I just sit back and observe. I don't have any preconceived notions about who is 'right' or who is 'wrong'. It could be either, or more often, neither.
Because I'm not forming negative thoughts about my stepson's mom, I don't verbalize complaints about her to anyone. In fact, out of respect to my stepson, I would never complain about his mom to anyone (including my husband, my child, my family,life coach, co-workers, stepmoms online, and certainly not my stepchild) in any forum, though once or twice a year, I might say, "Hey, something happened and it didn't set right with me. Here's what happened...." And then I might try to describe it in behavioral terms, without a lot of hype and drama, and with accepting responsibility for what might have been my part in the miscommunication or issue.
So what's my point? I've been able to achieve this state of balance and peace within a relationship that is arguably one of the most challenging dynamics out there: the wife/co-wife, wife/former wife, mom/stepmom.
And so I realized as I read your post that if I could achieve this state of peace in such a 'difficult' relationship, I can achieve peace in any situation, with any person.
Thanks for your post and your continued positive energy in my life.
Wow, just got to read your post. As usual, I am so touched and inspired by your growth and capacity to seek and find balance and peace in all areas of your life. It is amazing how committed you are to not speak negative words about another person. You are so aware and so willing to share yourself with the world. Thank you for your positive energy as well. Peace and thanks for taking the time to add your comment.
