The Psychology of Wellness - Part 2
Winterheadshot
Hey everyone, did you try to do some meditating as prescribed in the part 1 of this series?

If you did, (and you really should or the rest of this isn't going to make much sense) then you probably have a little more insight into the way your mind works.

As I discussed before, when you sit quietly and watch your thought-stream ripple past, you'll find that underneath your normal veneer you're really quite a nutcase. What a mess it is inside your skull! Memories from high-school will butt up against tomorrow's shopping list. Past rejections will sting again, and imagined future accomplishments will swell you with pride....

A rain soaked weekend ahead for those of us in the Northeast. And just as the weather changes so do the plans. The rain has cancelled St. Patrick Day parades, an afternoon running in the park, and a day hike, which now means my brother will stop over for a welcomed and long overdue visit. The rain will let me catch up on reading the book I'm working on finishing, the movie I haven't started yet, the song I need to mix, and the carpet I keep promising my wife I'll clean. So, let it rain! Saturday will bring food... more

So I weighed in today--I know I'm not supposed to be checking my weight, but my scale has a bodyfat measurer in it (who knows how accurate, but it's the only one I've got), and you have to let it weigh you to get to the bodyfat percentage part. The good news is that I'm down 3% in bodyfat! ::busts out happy dance::... more

One of my biggest worries before I started PCP was what to do on the weekends when I am 100% on dad duty. Weekdays I wake up at 6am, prep for the day, help feed the kids, dress and prep the big one, and take her to school on my way to work. By the time I get back at night, everyone is well asleep, so I quietly change and get my stuff, head to The Yard, do my thing, and try to get in bed by 11pm. On the weekends though I am up and with the kids all... more

Wouldn't it be crazy... If I ate a cookie right now. Wouldn't it be crazy... If I went to happy hour after work and had a glass of wine. Wouldn't it be crazy... If I went home, skipped my workout, put on my PJ's and curled up on the couch with a giant bowl of popcorn and a movie. Good thing I'm not crazy.... more

Today was not the best day. Is it bad when I think I've already hit a wall with PCP on only day 12? The jumping rope this morning did not go well at all. I think it had to do with my lack of energy (I didn't sleep well last night) and the fact that I'm still struggling with finding the right rope. My new rope keeps getting twisted no matter what I do, and so I went back to my old rope today. But it's way too light and I wasn't used to it anymore. So towards the end... more

As I blogged the other day, I have developed a lovely case of hives. No known cause, and unlikely to find one in the near future. I have some powerful antihistamines that are making me very drowsy in the morning; normally I wake up bright and early but that last two mornings I haven't been able to get up till nearly 10 a.m. I'm awake, but I'm completely wiped. This has concertina'd my time so that I have to rush to get everything in each day. But I'm still glad that I manage to do it, even though like everyone... more
