I suffer from migraines since childhood. I was told that chocolate is the main culprit, and that was bad news since I adore chocolate, especially around "those days". Anyway, it not just chocolate what brings my migraines, but a whole army of triggers, ranging from aged cheese, to barometric changes. Right, like I control those... (in truth, sometimes and cannot even control my chocolate cravings...especially when i am with PMS).
My last migraines was a couple of days ago. I tried EFT on it, and although it makes it a little more manageable, to this day I haven't been able to totally suppress a migraine with EFT. The difference this time was that I had a bloodshot eye along with my migraine, for the first time. It was completely red an d itchy. I googled it "migraine bloodshot eye" and receive lots of results saying that it can be an accompanying nuisance, especially because it happened of the same side as my migraine.
I dodn't know how to deal with a bloodshot eye. It's not pinkeye. I decided to make some chamomille tea to wash it with, as I do when the kids have pinkeye. While the tea was cooling, I did one round of EFT.
Even though I have this bloodshot, completely red and itchy eye, I totally and completely accept myself
Reminder phrase: "this itchy bloodshot eye"
One round! And the redness was gone. That was incredible! The first time I got relief from EFT so fast!
It's been almost a month since my last post. Time goes fast!! And a new year is here, a 365-page blank book to be written by us as we live each day. So far 6 pages are written, and I have most of the book left. What do I want for this year? This is my list, the structure of my 2010 book:
Things to keep as they are:
my great family, my two beautiful kids, the best hubby in the world, and our love for each other.
Things I would like to improve:
health - I can be skinnier, migraine- and asthma-free,
habits - I need to: drink more water, laugh more, be present, be mindful, eat mt veggies, do more exercise, love me more, criticize less
Things I would like to lose:
worries, perfectionism, self-criticism, doubts, fears, excuses
Things I would like to get:
a new job, find what I am supposed to do in this life, make more friends, buy a house.
I guess my list is not so bad. I don't like to make new year resolutions, I think I haven't done that much anyway. So this is not much a resolution as it is a guide for my new year, a compass to guide me to what is really important for me.
What would you write in your book?
Happy new year!! May 2010 be the best year so far :D
