   Hello Lovelies! Thanks for the shout out Laurie!! One thing that I do when it comes to overcoming the house cleaning crazies is I set my timer for 15 mins per room and I race to see how much I can get done. And when the timer is done so am I!!! It appeals to my competitive side lol!

   Warmest Regards,
   Laura

      Hi Laura, you are so welcome! Great tip, I will try it and report how it goes. I think it would be especially good dealing with the stacks and stacks of papers I need to sort and shred. Xoxoxox

   Hey Laurie,
   I’m sorry that I haven’t been very active since the podcast restart. I’ve just been on this audiobook kick, so I keep getting behind in my podcasts! You know how once you start a book, you just can’t stop? Plus, I check them out from the library, so I only get them for two weeks. Really, it’s just my all or nothingness kicking in in another aspect of my life. I download 8 audiobooks, listen to them one after another, then check out none for a month! It amazes me how all or nothing creeps into so many aspects of my life.

   My racing mind hits me more at night. In the morning I wake up feeling good and ready to go. In the evening, my mind starts racing with everything I didn’t get done during the day, and how to solve the problems that come up during the day, etc. I have the insight timer app, but I haven’t made a habit of using it. Actually, I have at least 3 meditation apps, but I haven’t gotten in the habit of meditating at all! Ha! I guess that is something to keep working towards.

   I’ve had a major breakthrough in my battle with the food demons, but I don’t feel quite ready to talk about it yet. I think I want to see if it lasts for real before I spout it out. So many things last 2-3 weeks before I am back at my old ways….

   Thanks for doing the podcast and sharing your insights.

      Hi Amy, I’m happy to hear that you are finding some good tools for yourself! LOL about the Racing Night Mind – major player in my wake up in the night insomnia too. I think the difference for me, is the Racing MORNING mind is the overwhelming list of what I SHOULD do, and the racing NIGHT mind is worry about what I should have DONE. So the meditation is helping with both. Oh, and I get the obsession with an activity or interest AND the blow hot/blow cold aspect of that. It’s human. So while I’m happy to see you here, please never feel you need to apologize for not – if that makes sense. Yes, I love to hear from BCs, and it helps me validate what I do here (to my own, at times insecure and critical mind), but I do understand changing times and life 🙂 And I must recommend giving guided mediation a try. There are several that are around 10 minutes. One of them I do says, try this for 10 days and you will see major change in your life. Hmmmm. I did this without saying anything to Mark, he noticed, and now he is giving mediation a try. Can we say miracle? Big old teddy bear, manly man, construction type Mark, is giving Meditation a go. I’m hoping he might be willing to report on his results in future for the show, but allowing him to decide that fate. Anyway, great to see you my friend, off to hike for fun today! xoxoxoxox

            Hi Dawny, the one I do daily before getting out of bed is Morning Meditation with Music by Jonathan Lehman 10 minutes. And I also like Peak Performance Visualisation by Rebecca Smith for audition nerves 11 min. Both are guided meditations found in the Insight Timer app I talked about on day 138 – link to that on the show notes page.

   On my habit tracker on my daily journal I have ’15 min tidy’, ‘sink/toilet’, ‘hob/worktop’ and ‘do one thing’. I colour in the box when I have done these during the month. Gentle reminder that a little often is ok

      Hmm, first step would be to actually FILL in the tasks. Hahahaha – I’m so housework resistant, I have to fool myself into it 🙂 (or invite folks over)
