Being vs Having

This is my dream motorcycle.

This is the balance I want in my life.

This is how I want to feel when I play the guitar.

This is how I want to express my self artistically and emotionally.

This is the level of fitness I want to achieve

.I want to demonstrate this kind of faith.

This is where I want to be able to hike.

Oh yea, and lean to speak Spanish.

I can have it all. Be here now.

Being vs Having

Having something is temporary.

Being something is infinite.

I am an artist in search of his media.

I am a dreaming dreamer being dreamt.

I am the space between the notes.

I am free of the clutches of my past.

I am free of the expectations of my future.

Reengaging with the DailyOm Self Hypnosis Course on Weight Loss

This started with a fill in the blank Exercise:

Fill in the blank. What do I have to believe about myself if eating crap and eating too much could truly stop me from living my life healthy, happy and at my ideal weight?

When you look at that belief, ask yourself, What is a deeper truth? The deeper truth is that there is a part of me that does not feel I deserve to be healthy or wants to stop feeling unloved by stuffing food in me, even if it doesn't feel good even short term. For now accept this and move on. Challenge this belief from multiple directions. Practical food advice, self hypnosis, dreams. Solve this problem on a higher level (Einstein) Carry on.

The Future Me!

Summer Sunday

Robert's talk last night

Robert Roskind became an "instant" hippie after accidentally ingesting 100+ hits of LSD. It was pure LSD from a UNC research lab. He took 1/3 the liquid in a vial. He assumed it was to be split between his three friends (1st time on LSD) Turns out a dose was measured by dipping your finger in it. Oops. Completely blanked on 1st 8 hours, took 3 days to come down. Or maybe he never did.

45 minutes of biking, 15 minutes cool-down stretch. same riding stats as yesterday. So, the one lap time of 1.33 minutes in gears 2/5 is equal to a 15 mile/hour pace, on dead flat. That's slow, big surprise. It feels better even on day 2. Now that I have switched to a flat pedal, the pain in my right foot was minimal yesterday and almost nonexistent today. I did a pretty thorough and painful stretch on the wooden roller. It was most painful on the arch of my right foot. Let's see what happens after a week and then a month.
