Last week got away from me! Despite that, I have something small but exciting to report. Several years ago, I tried not eating after 8pm. I found all kinds of reasons to be annoyed by this process. My husband didn’t make dinner in time. This, that, or the other interfered. I mostly complied, but I found the whole process troubling and unsatisfying, and eventually, I quit paying attention to it.<\/p>\n
Enter this year, as a Master Keys graduate. I learned a few things from the course. When I decided to redo my Plan of Action card at the course completion, one thing I did was remove things I’d put on there that I wasn’t doing (for a variety of reasons). Having things on my Plan of Action I wasn’t acting on was not sending the right message to Subby. One area of my Definite Major Purpose (DMP) is manifesting well. I felt confident enough to begin working on another area of my DMP. I added “I eat before 8PM” to my card. \u00a0Notice it is worded in a positive way. We learned in the course that Subby doesn’t understand negatives, so I spoke to Subby in the positive term of what I do.<\/p>\n
The first couple weeks, I felt hungry after 8PM, but I kept reminding myself, “I eat before 8PM.” I did not feel anger or deprivation this time. I felt an acceptance of that plan in my head and continued with my activities. After a couple of weeks, I felt less need to remind myself of the plan. In fact, in general, I feel more satisfied. \u00a0I’m pretty awed by this effect.<\/p>\n
Last week, after some contemplating about what the next step in this DMP manifestation should be, I chose to add “I move in the morning” to my Plan of Action card. This has made it easier to get out and get my yard work done in the morning.<\/p>\n
Simple.<\/p>\n
