Starting over, Sept 8th 2013.

welcome back - renewed, refreshed and ready to go!

 

Those flashbacks, urges, etc, will go away in time.

 

Nice one Z. Sounds like a wonderful experience. Hope you can integrate this going forward. best wishes

 

great to have you back z and to read about your wonderful break, you are doing fantastic. sounds idyllic

 

I like how you describe changing your practice to sending kindness.... this sounds like an example of consciously choosing a different neuropathway, stepping out of the old rutted pathway and purposefully creating a new healthy one. This is a great example of rewiring in action. This should contribute to "those flashbacks, urges" going away in time.

Reminds me of Robert Frost's words -

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

 

Thanks guys.

Doing good here, keeping away from the computer for much of my time at the moment if possible, will have to re-engage with it more next week so will be around more and look forward to catching up with some of your journals.

Hope you're all good and enjoying your weekends.

Sounds like your retreat was a great experience, glad to hear. Happy to read things are going well for you on this front as well.

 

Thanks OM, some hiccups but mostly good.

I'm no longer using this journal as I've started another one here:
