Daniela's Transformation Journey
|
|
I watch Frasier and Six Feet Under regularly. Do you think that's enough therapy? Well, it helps, but isn't enough. I still see my therapist every week. I believe I've come a long way from the day an FBI agent and CID agent told me that my husband's dead body was found. So much more surfaced after the numbness and pain resulting directly from my husband's death. I am slowly working on weaning myself off the binge eating and getting my big butt back into the pool. Water is my friend, it carries me. I want to start swimming again, but am not successful yet. So many emotions visit me daily: excitement, sorrow, giddyness, sadness, happiness, loneliness, unworthiness, fear, anger... My therapist knows them all...
I've made a lot of progress. The sharpest pains are reduced to an occasional occurence rather than a daily ongoing condition. I made lots of fellow bereaved friends in the grief workshop I first attended myself and now facilitate one of the individual groups. What a God sent this is! My faith in my higher power whom I chose to call God is certainly the most important factor in getting me along on this transformation journey. But each week I discover more issues I've stuffed down into the depth of my insides, buried under tons of food. I thank God for my therapist, my friends, the circumstances that allow me to walk the path I'm on. And the knowledge that I determine the length of the path and the speed I navigate it with. I have hope and faith! That's a lot!

Frasier has ended, I watched the series final episode with sadness. On the other hand, the new season of Six Feet Under begins Sunday, and I'm ready for it! Other than that, I have pretty much given up TV. News and politics are too depressing, most everything else is just dumb and not serving me in my growth and progress. I have developed a love for boxing, though, and do watch fights Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - if they're on. As I work full-time on my home business, I use boxing as R&R time. I watch half-naked built guys (and sometimes women) beat each other up and that helps me on many different levels - from stress relief to entertainment, and much in between. I haven't seen my therapist in a couple of weeks, and it's time I get back with him. When I feel good I think I can skip a few sessions, and then I realize that he is part of the reason I feel good! I try to be more social, even though I'm perfectly happy to stay home inside my piece of paradise. But I know I have to get out and be among people. I've made some new very good friends with whom I'm in touch a lot. I read a lot more personal growth literature - and I recommend to all of you Don Miguel Ruiz - The Four Agreements and The Mastery Of Love!!! These two books have changed my life, have given me new hope and a new outlook on my life! I will continue along these lines and hope to live a full life of love and service to others! Giving is what brings the most rewards. That's something new I've learned and practice and enjoy!

We're implementing the exit strategy! The interval between my therapy sessions are increasing and I'm doing great! I'm doing a lot of personal growth reading and enjoying it tremendously! I do have a success/business coach, and I see that continue for a while, at least until I manifest my first million dollars! Eventually, I'll post a list of books I've read here - I believe these books are a huge part of my progress and growth!
