Day 15

I bite my lips when I'm nervous- I even made then bleed during an exam once. And I find the need to pace when on the phone or trying to work something out (maybe that's why they gave me my own office at work... hmm... ).

Pacing and lip biting- I find these nervous habits are now dissipating.

----

I worked the late shift at my waitressing job last night, and felt a lot more calm and centered than usual. Anyone who's ever waited tables can agree with me here: It's stressful. You can feel people's eyes burning in the back of your head, trying to get your attention as you're taking someone elses order. However, last night was nice for me; busy as usual, but I felt myself move slower, I was more aware, and kept my calm throughout the shift. No frustrations, no reactions, little stress.

----

I had a lucid dream! Ok, a very short lived lucid dream; I realized it was a dream using common sense (someone was with me in it that couldn't possibly have been in real life), and remarked a few inconsistencies (my clothes, for example, kept changing). However, it didn't last long and I woke up right after remarking that it was in fact a dream; pity- it could have turned out very interesting

----

Lastly- I have been working on my apology letters. There were two people I could think of, and have been trying to formulate the apology to them in such a way as to avoid shifting blame.

I've just literally finished reading the book.

Really great read and very interesting. I've quit facebook and being at peace with everyone is definitely relaxing.

So far I've quit smoking... quit drinking... quit facebook and cut down on texting etc. Next, I intend to ween myself of habitual internet usage.



Today I've tried a whole day fasting. It's quite difficult. I have meditated every day for 5 minutes and next week will try to organise a 3 day gym routine.

Tonight I'm going for the shaman bath, and sky gazing because over in England it is a very warm night.

Next week will cut out caffine (in tea) and switch to green tea.

My dreams are more vivid but then I'm on anti-depressants so I'm not sure as vivid dreams are a side effect.

Will try getting the cocunut oil and start introducing tumeric/ cumerin into my diet.

But I'm liking the state of calmness I am exuding, and being at peace with everyone, friends and my enemies.

[Edit I can't afford the supplements so will have to make do with the alternatives]

Brocolli, blue berries, tumeric etc.

Oh and how has everyone tried the lucid dreaming or controlling/steering your dreams? Sounds interesting.

I created a daily scheduler out of Roz's program using a Google doc template. If you're actually interested in doing this program, pm me your email address. I'll put you in the doc group.

I'm going to Austin, TX! I'll be leaving this Friday, and staying for three nights- it's a bit short notice; I'll try to stick to my schedule as much as possible. I'm told Austin is very vegan friendly, so I doubt I'll have any problems food wise.

I signed up for a pottery class, lol. I've been feeling creative lately. My dreams are still very strange, and less morbid though consistently so. I haven't had another lucid dream.

I think it was Hobbit that mentioned he was able to meditate easier having mailed those apology letters; I too notice this.

please tell me youve all reached spiritual enlightenment and thats why youve stopped posting !

Also if you guys are trying to encourage Lucid dreams i suggest listening to this before bed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra1iWqQBcp4 a little creepy but it works

and in a lucid dream NEVER! look at your own reflection it usually attacks you ....that shit is scary :\

I was wondering if you could answer a question as im starting this up after my exams and im yet to finish the book "Would it be possible to eat a lot of protein as a main meal and work out extensively , whilst following this book as im looking to gain muscle mass leading up to summer ?"

You could try contacting the folks who wrote the book . . . but I'm thinking you'll probably want to consume more than the recommended 2,550 calories per day if you're looking to add muscle mass.
