90 Day Vortex Diet

I have been on a diet lately that I call the "Vortex Diet". I had been propelled to a place of frustration and resignation in my life. I had given up all hope of things getting better and actually enjoying life again. Why? It doesn't matter, what matters is that I was finally brought to my knees in surrender.

So, where did I go, what did I do?

I picked up a book. I picked up "The Vortex" by Esther and Jerry Hicks and started to read it ravenously.

So, I've come to the conclusion that my life has not worked for many years. I am quite tired of trying, coercing, manipulating, explaining, crying, fighting, talking, pushing and all that goes with creating through my EGO. I am exhausted and emotionally bankrupt.

I decided, in picking up this amazing book, to go on what I call a "Vortex Diet" for a minimum of 90 days. Why? To "test" the concepts in this book really intently and consciously.

What this means is looking to the positive and what I am creating at all times. This means praying and turning my cheek from what I don't want. This means focus on what I like about life and being grateful. This means finding a way to alter my focus when I find myself lamenting or trying to manipulate life. No really!

1. I will pick up the book and read a passage when I need to turn my focus around.
2. I will choose another subject if I cannot be in "alignment" in one particular area of life.
3. My Mala beads have also been instrumental in being grateful. I will do a round being grateful for something with each bead.
4. I can also take a deep breath and FEEL my connection with my non-physical self.
5. I can pray

These are just a few of this "new practices" I have been putting into place and the best result so far is that I feel better. I no longer feel resigned about life and I see how my joy is returning. Yay!

It's only been three weeks on my "diet". I've got a few more days to go, so...stay tuned for more...
