Commitment and Patience.
Over the past week I’ve been spending several hours each day putting together the contents for my book detailing my first year on the ABP, well yesterday was a frustrating day because of various problems with Kindle direct publishing and my laptop, however it’s all sorted now and should be available Monday.
The week was frustrating and distracting in that my mind was not on my own health condition, anyway now that’s out of the way I can get back to looking after me… come to think of it, I’m surprised that I’m feeling so good.
I think being so focused on one thing I just didn’t recognize the subtle but significant improvements in myself, I’m not going back to my bed quite so quickly, I know that probably doesn’t seem that big of a deal to not feel it necessary to be resting in bed by midday but staying out of it for an extra 45 minutes means a lot to me. I’ve also been getting up and going back into the living room at 2.30 and staying there for just over an hour has been massive for me.
I’ve been making a few changes as far as supplements are concerned, additions actually, firstly after reading so many positive comments about mega doses of vitamin D, I decided to increase my 8,000 iu’s to 32,000 iu’s which I’ve done for about a week now. After lots of research regarding the dramatic weakness that always happens around 11.30 to 11.45, I came across Rhodiola which I’ve been taking two 100mg daily. It appears that both the added vitamin d and the Rhodiola are responsible for my improvements. I’ll clarify that by saying those two supplements in addition to the 14 months I’ve been on the ABP. In everything we do, everything we consume as in food, drink and supplements, the incredibly intricate body, all 7 or 8 trillion cells…. mind boggling… are affected and either make it more difficult or easier and efficient to function, we’re all different, it’s not a “one size fits all” path we need to follow, but lots of tweaking and adjustments to make, making this work requires commitment and patience.
