Just easing back into a morning routine of meditation and exercise. Tearing sheets. Paying attention. Doing three minutes of meditation and three minutes of stretching. Being kind to myself. Noticed apple juice tastes good before my cup of coffee.
The winter has been a long one for Mom, my two sisters, and I. How nice to have the sun staying longer in the sky each day! Vicky, Mom's new friend, has entered our lives and it appears Senior Bingo will be a weekly (or more) event. Thank you, God, for Vicky.
Have been reading Richard Bandler and John Grinder's The Structure of Magic, A Book About Language and Therapy. In it, they discuss how we create maps (or models) of our world so that we can effectively operate within it. The book marks the beginning of a therapeutic method of change called Neuro-Linguistic Programming. NLP has been called "cargo cult" science by some for lack of empirical evidence, but many are using it because it appears to work. The UK and Australia offer accredited programs to students. My favorite sentence in the book so far: "The most pervasive paradox of the human condition which we see is that the processes which allow us to survive, grow, change, and experience joy are the same processes which allow us to maintain an impoverished model of the world - our ability to manipulate symbols, that is, to create models". I'm interested in how we construct, deconstruct, and reconstruct our maps or models to get us where we want to go.
