Wow, it's been ages since I blogged about anything. I was so gung-ho when I first attempted this and I just let it fall by the wayside. Let's see if I can't get back on that horse, shall we?
So, much has happened since my last post. The biggest thing is I've decided to give therapy a whirl. I've been going through many things for a very long time and I think my mind and body just couldn't take it anymore. I figured I would request the help of a professional and see what they could do for me. I've been going for a little while now and it's been quite an eye opening experience. It's actually more enjoyable than I ever imagined and has come to be something I actually look forward to each week. I feel like I'm taking out a huge bag of garbage each time and the house looks a little better as we clear the clutter.
I have a long way to go and our main focus so far has been trying to get me over my fear of flying. We'll see how much progress we've made as I'm going to be making a cross country flight this weekend. I've been attempting the visualizations she suggests, but sadly keep getting distracted by pesky thoughts about other more fun things or even less fun things, but definitely not about flying. My subconscious is trying to put the kibosh on anything having to do with flying. I will persevere though and I will get through this. One day I hope this won't even be an issue. After all, I'd like to go somewhere besides Ocean City for our honeymoon.
I think I need to start making a list of all the other stuff I want to address because there's a lot and I feel like I'm on a roll right now. I have a lot of life left to live and I'd like to do it in a happier, more normal manner. Til next time. It'll be more fun, I promise.

More fun? Waddya mean? This was great! Very positive and hopeful and encouraging. Kudos to you for taking the bull____ by the horns. :)
ReplyDeleteKudos for recognizing a need, and taking action. A lot of folks won't do that. Glad to hear it's working for you.
ReplyDeleteIf you do end up going to Ocean City for the honeymoon, let me suggest a stop in along the way. Ridgely, MD is home to Highland Aerosports, a hang gliding school. While I thoroughly enjoyed the adrenaline rush I got from skydiving, I would probably put my money into hang gliding if I was going to make one a hobby.
I went with my kid sister, so we each only took a 2,500ft flight. It was amazing, and I wish we'd had the funds to support a higher flight. It's supposed to be instructional; but if you want, you can let the tandem partner do all the work. It's very peaceful, and can also be exciting if you try to catch an updraft to prolong your airtime.
I could go on, but really just wanted to give you kudos, and provide a link to the hang gliding school. With that in mind, let me know if you take flight... http://www.aerosports.net
