http://shift-cast.shift-your-consciousness.com/2012/02/09/shift-cast-54-juice-fast-reboot/

So, to sum up I have:

- Limited beer to less then once a week
- Quit Caffeine
- I am weening off nicotine

In addition, I am eating more veggies and fruit and less junk. Very little meat, dairy, fish, and bread/pasta..

Cons:

Headaches
Weird Joint pains in hips, knees, and other places
Energy lulls at different times

Pros:

Weight Loss
Overall energy increase
Increased mental clarity
Taste/Smell improved
Seems like I can hear better :-D
Deeper connection with Yayoi (my awesome and beautiful wife of 19 years!!)

The hearing improvement is most likely about having more mental energy to pay attention to music.

I will post more as I go…I just wanted to get this down before it went away…

I think the universe is made of love, so this is also like talking to the “stuff” everything is made of…so here we go!:

 

Love is meant to heal.

  • I want love to heal my habits that are are unloving toward my body, such as tobacco, alcohol and un-healthy food.
  • I want love to heal my body of past injury and pain.
  • I want love to heal any un-loving thoughts toward the people I love the most.
  • I want love to heal the pain of loss from people who I loved who are no longer with me.

Love is meant to renew

  • I want love to renew my sexual-feelings with my wife.
  • I want love to renew my enthusiasm for work.
  • I want love to renew my sense of being young and alive.
  • I want love to renew my ability to care for people in the present moment.

Love is meant to make us safe.

  • I want love to make me feel safe with my secret pain.
  • I want love to make me feel safe in the face of doubt and uncertainty.
  • I want love to make me feel safe in traffic.
  • I want love to make me feel safe from rejection when I express love.

Love is meant to inspire us with power

  • I want love to help me use power with love.
  • I want love to help me observe fear and doubt with the power to let them pass without identifying with them or allowing them to control my thoughts.

Love is meant to bring peace

  • I want love to establish peace in my entire being:  mind/body/spirit.
  • I want love to help me bring peace to fear and violence.
  • I want love to help me share peace with the world.

What do you want from love???

Please comment below right now, you can ask love for anything…

I am working on building my skill of habit creation…and I need your help to keep me accountable.

I will start my habit on 30 May 2011. This week I am not doing the habit yet…the method is to plan the new habit for 1 week before you do the habit. The new habit is very simple. After lunch everyday, I will walk for 5 minutes (max 10 minutes). I love walking, so this habit is a positive way to get a little bit of exercise and fresh air, but more importantly to help me to learn the skill of habit creation.

How can you help?

If you eat lunch with me…take a walk with me for 5 minutes!

You can ask me on twitter, facebook, or comment on this blog post and check to see how I am doing with my goal.

Follow along with my progress over the next 4 -6 weeks on twitter, here and facebook and support me when I succeed and when I fail as well…

This is part of a new course From Leo of Zen Habits

Thank you for your support! :D

Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.” — Franz KafKa

…well I suppose you could claim that title…and you would be WRONG!!

This is the third book in the GFL or “Galactic Football Series” Which included Book 1, “The Rookie”, and Book 2, “The Starter”…

So it’s about football in the future…and the league is owned and operated by alien gangsters…which is a lot like some current football leagues…expect for the alien part…as far as we know.

So if you love football, scifi and gangsters…you will love this series…
;-)
