Practice a little every day

[FeelGood]

Hi cookie, I drink about 3-4 oz aloe vera [total] spread out 2-3x a day. I tried many things although I always explore the root source of the treatment to make sure it's not something that doesn't agree with me Many herbs and teas disagree with me. I eat TUMs antacid to help manage the symptoms too. I'm definitely not going to suffer while I wait to allow
I agree about cooked veggies, carrots are the only raw veggie I eat. There's way too many fruits and veggies that disagree with me one way or another...I eat a lot of oatmeal and tofu, asparagus, green beans, lean chicken or turkey, this great lavash bread from Atoria, or a no salt premade taco shell for fun . I buy canned butternut squash by the dozen. I can eat honey. also cantaloupe and watermelon. It's so funny that when I first got this affliction I had to eat other foods that now don't agree with me....hahaha, but my basics had held fast. As long as I can eat something I'm happy.
The doctors would want to stick tubes and cameras into me I'm sure but that's not the answer for me so far.
I can see that stress affects us all in one way or another through our physical or mental health so as I try new ways of managing my symptoms I let myself off the hook of blame since not too many people escape it. Even Esther was envious of her friend who could eat so much so I don't ever judge myself or my ability to "allow" in my life. Even Jerry got sick, so it seems logical to do the best I can and learn to accept , continue to believe that there is a way for me and flow in ease some how.
My Mr. has had health problems since 2013 and poor soul it's one thing after another so that does affect me also; he still gets a lot done even in his pain. We work well together somehow. Again it's a matter of not blaming anything but accepting and loving and trusting . It appears as though most ppl have their contrast on this physical plane so I count my blessings that what we both have is manageable while we move through things.

That being said, I hope we all find relief for what ails us

I agree with what you say here

I guess flowing with inspiration, following our desires as best we can, following our inner guidance.. Not giving up on our desires. And of course addressing any resistances and limiting beliefs that may be there

I'm glad you brought up the lettuce goals too, I also wondered what that was so thankyou to Poe for asking
I think you are both managing the twists and turns of your journey in such an awesome way
We are all taking the bounce so very well

[FeelGood]

I also wondered if I wanted to lose the extra weight so much that my stomach said "ok, here ya go". hahahaha
Because of how careful I've had to be I got an extra boost in the weight loss and now I am trained to eat less......hahahahaha.......
Like I've heard so long, "be careful what you wish for". To me that means "focus on".
Anyway, at least it's fun to look at the scale now thanks to my stomach training me how to eat.

ahh aloe vera and TUMs - yep - the lifesavers of those with GERD & heartburn and "as long as I can eat something I'm happy" - I can soooo relate!

haha I know what you mean. I never knew my stomach COULD be flat until I got GERD. I thought that a little sticking out belly was just my natural shape haha

Thank you for sharing your calming, soothing words, and the wisdom of your journey of making peace with your situation.

Gosh.. it's tough when our unruly thoughts / beliefs / vibrational tendencies create health problems for us and our loved ones. But at least we've got a few tools in our belt to try and make everything a little better; a little easier to handle with grace; trying to look for the silver linings where we can. And who knows, maybe we'll get there and these tools will help us get back to perfect health! I'd love to believe that can be

This popped up on my facebook memories this morning; an image I posted in 2009!
A good reminder to do the vibrational work to raise your vibration : )

APPRECIATION

I appreciate the progress I made today

I liked the synchronicity of receiving that Thank You note from the purchase I made, that read
"See the good in every perspective" - when I'm often intending "I am intending seeing the good in everything around me" It's such a like-attracting-like match!

and I also loved that the same thank you note said: "Good attracts good" which is another match!
It's so unexpected for a company selling computery-related stuff to have such spiritual messages I love it!

I like the synchronicity of the yellow-coloured theme of this post My morning graphic happened to be yellowish, now the thank you note - and also all the smileys!
I like this symbol of harmony - how everything fits together so nicely, easily, comfortably, aesthetically

I loved seeing the beautiful photos on instagram and learning about wild carrots / Queen Anne's Lace and how pretty and interesting-looking their flowers are! I adore seeing photos that show an artistic eye!

I loved sitting together and watching a movie together : ) It's interesting how sitting side by side, focused on something other than each other can still feel bonding - I guess it's the energetic proximity and the joined focus on the same thing that is bonding in some way : )

I love our closeness

I loved seeing the love shining in her eyes

I loved that he wanted to share his experience so thoroughly through the video call - it's nice how he wants to include us and make us feel like we're there with him.

I liked the perfect timing of just as he finished the video call, I got the work call so that I could do both leisurely without one impacting the other : )

I'm proud of myself for figuring out how to use the new speakers all by myself!

I like the quiet peacefulness of the neighbourhood at night-time - it's so nice that all is so calm.

I like that I just looked at the clock exactly as it turned 12:00! I love seeing evidence of perfect timing!

I love how when I sat down to write appreciations, I thought I'd have nothing to write - and now somehow I've written quite a lot! Once the ball starts rolling, momentum takes hold I guess!

And now, I am intending a good night's sleep, feeling good, feeling peaceful, feeling relaxed, sleeping well; sleeping easy ; and waking feeling bright, fresh, refreshed, energetic, strong and eager for the day ahead

Day 12:

INTENDING
I am intending to eat a small breakfast. When I get breakfast right, I often set the good tone for the rest of the day : )
I am intending to have a good day : )

APPRECIATION

I appreciated seeing clips of the men's Olympics triathlon yesterday. I liked seeing the smoothness of their transition from water to air; as if it is effortless to go from one thing to the next without pausing. I liked the seeming effortless of it. Resistance-free. And imagining their strength to make it look so easy! I liked seeing them on their bicyles. Their legs, circling so smoothly, so gracefully, so elegantly - like a mixer churning the smoothest, silkiest batter. I enjoyed seeing their bodies working so perfectly; so efficiently; so elegantly; so beautifully. I love witnessing bodies that are powerful and strong, full of energy, endurance and capablity. It is so inspiring what we humans are capable of. I love knowing this kind of power, strength, and energy level is potentially within all of us with the right mindset and training! : )

I appreciate the lush green bushiness of the trees outside my window. They are so abundant with leaves! So rich with green! There are thousands of them! It made me curious to ask chatGPT how many leaves a tree usually has - apparently, for a tree the size of the one outside my window, it could be between 100,000 and 500,000! It reminds me of those "How many jelly beans in a jar" games I wonder what the correct figure is! I like the feelings of curiosity and wonder that spark within me. It feels like life flowing. It feels like interest and wonder and a light, easy desire.

The leaves curiosity also reminds me of a happy memory: sitting in on the grassy square, looking up at the leafy trees in pleasant company; and him telling me his magical gift since childhood was to be able to count leaves on trees. I loved how unusual his talents were! I loved how he could play piano with his hands behind his back I loved how he unapologetically accepted his quirks and shared them so openly. I loved his subtly child-like showy-offy energy that was quite endearing. I loved his accent! I loved how unusual and special he was! I loved his confidence and friendliness. I loved that he made me feel accepted, appreciated, desirable and strongly wanted. I loved his sense of humour and that he could make me smile and laugh so easily! I appreciated his freedom to be and do whatever he wanted, so loudly and unapologetically! I loved his playful energy ~ I loved his magnetism that physically drew me to him so powerfully it was hard to resist.
I loved his outside the boxness, and unpredictability in his way of thought ~ I loved how the words from his mouth were impossible for me to anticipate! I loved how his words sparked such interest and inspiration within me. It felt like a lighting up from the inside. It felt stimulating! It felt fun and bubbly and effervescent. It felt exciting!
I loved that he pushed me to push my own limitations and limited boundaries - to expand beyond the fences and walls delineated by society. It felt like an adventure!
I loved meeting such extraordinary people : )
It was fun discovering they are out there ~ and discovering how lovely they are; how kind and open and inclusive and wanting to be together. I loved discovering my own loveability : )

I appreciated that we had so many gem squashes to pick today! I love seeing the plants being so abundant and plentiful! We picked 5 today and plenty more on the plants still. I love knowing also that they will replenish and there are still lots more to come : )

I appreciate the delicious warm aroma of the gem squash baking - it smells sweet and inviting as the squash sugars caramelize - yum! The whole house smells delicious! I love seeing them go all glossy and shiny as they bake too!

I appreciated seeing him make the ice cream. I loved seeing the beautiful glossy vanilla cream. It looked soooo enticing! I'm happy I got so much joy just from looking at it! Seeing it swirl deliciously and he stirred it; seeing it form a gorgeous rounded heap on a spoon, shiny and glossy in the light.. it was so satisfying seeing it!

I'm happy I received the inspiration to search for the keywords that led me to find exactly what I wanted with beautiful ease! And I was so happy to find such a huge abundance of choices available to me! I am eager to try some of them : )

I appreciate that all is very well.

I appreciate that I am surrounded by loving people with beautiful, kind hearts

I appreciate that I'm sleepy right on cue! I am intending a very good, relaxed, pleasant, refreshing, healing night's sleep : )
