My confidence..
I tell myself every morning before I get up that I’m going to have a good day, I tell myself that I feel great, I say that regardless of how I actually feel at that moment, I say it in an attempt to convince the inner part of me that it’s true. I know this protocol works, I know that every minute of everyday can’t and won’t be perfect, it would be too easy to have doubts, to let the fear of failing creep in, so I can’t let that happen, I’ve said it a thousand times that nothing is going to stop me. So if I believe, if I’m 100% certain then any minor setback that can sometimes happen, I reiterate in my mind that whatever has happened was a speed bump along the road, yes I had to slow down a bit but I’ll get past it and get back up to speed. Nothing worth having comes easily, whatever goal we have in life has to be worked at, practise makes perfect, we have to learn from our mistakes, eat or drink something wrong, then understand it, accept it was a mistake and don’t do it again.
On “my journey” I’m sure the foods I’m eating are good for me and I’m adapting to them and I’m finding them perfectly acceptable, I can control what I’m eating and drinking, I can’t however control the temperature outside which as I’ve said before is a killer for me. I believe that my thyroid is responsible in that I’m not able to control my body temperature adequately, on most days recently in the late afternoon my chest feels so hot you could fry an egg on it. I’ve been using a herbal thyroid support in addition to the only drug/medicine I take “Levothyroxin”…. anyway the thyroid support was ordered in good time but for some reason it hasn’t arrived. . So Tuesday was a tad warmer and I didn’t have the thyroid support, so at 5.30 when I was feeling rather weak, I accepted there was a stumbling block, a speed bump, I didn’t get upset or worried, I just went to my bed. I knew I’d be better again on Wednesday, today, this is where my brainwashing comes into play, I am getting better, nothing is going to stop me, it might be hard, but now it’s not just “talk the talk”, now it’s “walk the walk”.
