Do You Need to Know to Let it Go?

Today I feel very alive. I have a lot of projects this weekend and that is thrilling! IN addition, I am working on my own workshop at the end of the month. Writing a stress management workshop is actually very helpful to me at this time, because I get to instantly check and see how well this stuff works. I am one of those people who gets super high marks for poise. However, inside there are three white mice sharing one wheel. MY heart only beats 60 times a minute, but it feels like there is a crack fueled drum circle in there with 1000 beats a second. My jaw clenches, but I relax my face so I don't bite my tongue. Then, I chew the crap out of my fingers.

Or rather, I used to. Thanks to a simple NLP trick, I have pretty much gone since last Sunday without sticking my hands in my face. It's really cool to watch the skin around my nails heal for the first time since I was eleven! It's actually more relaxing to not have this nervous habit, or former coping mechanism.

I believe this will all plinko down until I am no longer smoking. Smoking is not my hangup, there is a deep deep oral fixation, maybe I was breast fed, then given a binkie, I don't know. It doesn't matter either. I could spend all the live long day looking for causes, or I can just make a choice right now, to stop. I'm not being trite, like I magically just stop my bad habits. Oh no no no no no.... What I mean is, once I have spotted them and named them, they are my pets and I can keep them and feed them, or I can take them to a shelter or release them to the wild with my blessings.


You can live in harmony with your hangups, it's up to you. Maybe you like to think of them as quirky, or special. Great. When you are ready to let them go, call me. We'll do a gentle exorcism. You can have wine. :)

Bye, Bye, Baggage!  Oh!  That's a Kitty!
