Bringing More Quality to My Day
February 11, 2004
I saw my naturopath today. She suggested
that my achy type pain was the result of a magnesium deficiency.
Even though she says we receive quite a bit in our diets, we
often need more. She gave me a supplement which she said
would taste good. I told her I have learned to not trust
her opinion on the taste of supplements. The magnesium has
helped (or it was just time for things to get quieter).
She has also said that it would be okay now to go on a cleansing
fast. I am of two minds about fasts. But, every time
I have completed a fast I have felt much better for it.

I drove to Indianapolis by myself last weekend.
It was very difficult and I am very tired. At first it was
just sleepy. Now I am physically drained and everything is
very difficult. I am looking forward to getting my
endurance level improved. Anyway, it was a great visit
with lots of good input from my friends and mentor.
I saw my gynecologist today. He had lots
of upbeat things to say. I meant to take him a gift or a
card, but was too tired to carry it out. I really
appreciate the way he seems to care about his patients. He
is definitely an advocate. I asked his advice on going off
the antidepressant. His advice was to wait until the days
are longer, more daylight, more activity, and after taxes were
filed.
I met with my psychologist today. She
gave me a way to work with my body to help diffuse the pain and
jitteriness in my feet. It worked pretty well. It
involves observing the qualities of the part of the body that is
uncomfortable (just like any other time you are asked for input
from someone and not sure, it's tough to talk about at first).
Then you observe a part of the body that is very comfortable.
What are its qualities? Observe the boundary between the
comfortable and uncomfortable - what's that like?
Ultimately let the qualities of the comfortable spread to the
part that is less comfortable. Observe.
