I started this year out with only 2 resolutions. One of which was prompted by some un-nerving responses from my last doctors visit, she has been after me for years to schedule a stress test, a test notoriously hated by patients and loved by the hospitals billing dept, since each test cost on average $2500.00. Of course if I were unemployed, and illegal immigrant or simply some Welfare slob who has never worked a day in their lives, I could have this paid by you, the taxpayer’s, but since I actually have a moral ground to stand on and a job I had to fund it myself. With no medical coverage, this wasn’t an option and opted to try some simple exercise first.

 First resolution was to lose about 40 pounds, and second to change how other peoples actions, thoughts and beliefs affect me and to change those affect into positive energy. The first is a bit easy as it only involves me getting out of bed every morning and/or night walk 10 feet, turn on a switch and walk/run for 30 minutes. So far so good with that one. I’ve already lost some w eight, don’t have achy bones in the morning, which is a plus when you have to climb 1  1/2 flights of stairs first thing every morning. I have tons more energy, and have noticed something very strange since using my new treadmill. The treadmill uses a equally spaced and paced walking method that until now hadn’t realized I wasn’t doing. I other words I wasn’t walking correctly, as most of us probably do, I was walking with more weight on one side, shuffling my feet instead of actually picking them up and using poor posture. The outcome s far after 2 months of brisk morning walks is that aside from the above mentioned benefits, I now walk with a presence, meaning that I walk with a little more attitude in my step. That being said my walking stride is faster, more even paced, painless and completely straight up. I have to say I never expected so many benefits from a mere 30 minutes every morning.

For my second resolution, I started by downloading a few audio books, cause ya’ll know I ain’t readin’ anyting. My first was “How to create your life the way you want” by Dr. Wayne Dyer., and even though at times a little Godly and preachy, I really enjoyed it and it talks about as not allowing our past wounds direct our futures.

Do you want to change your life but don’t know how? Wayne Dyer has discovered that it is possible to manifest exactly what you want in your life, and his positive enthusiasm is both intellectually sound and spiritually authentic. “We can do a somersault into the unimaginable,” he says, by using the limitless power of our consciousness. “As you think, so shall you be, is not just a pithy little homily out of the Bible, it’s the way the universe works.”

By re-connecting with your source, you begin co-creating your life and Dyer tells you how to go about it. Let the “father of motivation” fill you with the possibilities

Then there was “The Law of Attraction& Other Universal Laws Explained”,  by Christine Sherbourne, this audiobook describes and explains how you get from the universe what you put out there, in other words, if you put out negative energy, you will attract negative energy. The books attempts to train you to focus your energies on positive energies and how to work the universal laws in your benefit. Simply praying for success will not work, you need to play the laws to benefit others and yourself.

I then proceed to “The Biology of Belief”, Dr. Bruce Lipton. This I found very interesting as I have always believed that people speak their worlds into existence.  We discuss that you are not fat, lazy, disadvantaged,  smart or pretty simply because of good DNA or genes. How we perceive the world around us can greatly affect how we interact and are perceived with our world.

My course is too play each of these audiobooks every night. To much of my surprise I now find that I catch myself  paying attention to what I say, how I say and what caused me to say or think it and then alter my thoughts so that they are construed in a positive matter. In other words removing anything negative. Instead of saying I can’t or I don’t have the money for that, I now say something more like, “I will get that at a later time” or “I want to use my money for something else”, if you can see the difference there, one is a more positive way of saying the same thing. But your sub-conscious will perceive it as a positive habit. I think of it along the lines of someone looking a glass partially filled with water. Do you say “It’s half empty” or “It’s half full”, they technically mean the same thing. But has a sub-conscious positivity to it.

My next books will touch on philosophy and basically how to validate or invalidate any argument presented to me using pure logic.
