I guess I felt a little funny about going to a course nicknamed "The Addictions Class" because well...my pride objected. Would people see me there and wonder, "What is her addiction?" What if a more seriously afflicted person were to be bold enough to ask me this to my face, would they think me crazy if I was to tell them that I'm trying to kick my caffeine and sugar habit?
Lately, however, I have decided to overcome my reticence in order to address negative patterns of behaviour that repeat in my life...whether food, relationships or emotional issues. Most experts would agree that just changing the outside is not enough because our behaviour stems from what is inside.
I believe that taking this class will help me identify the thought processes that are holding me back from being truely healthy and I'm committed to giving it my best attention over the next 10 weeks.
We were given a small booklet that is filled with positive confessions to speak out daily and we were asked to refrain from entertaining or expressing any negative thoughts. The idea is to exchange positive for negative and truth for lies.
I've only read the booklet once but I can see clearly how my thinking has become more cynnical and critical over the years and that I desperately need to "reframe" the negative things that come my way.
I'm very excited about 2010 and the flow of beneficial material that has inspired me to continue on to an enhanced lifestyle and hopefully...no definitely...a life-changing, dynamic decade of health!
