You Can Be Your "Old Self" (If You Want!!!)

[clickaway]

Cheers Hun,

I've been feeling rather tired the last few days and have a busy day tomorrow and Friday. I know I need to be fairly OK to kick start this thing off. I'll probably just start with the warm-up bit.

I have too Ray - there are coughs and colds abound in our house and a few feminine predicaments this week, so I haven't done any yoga or leaping on the supertramp either.

No worries though always best to listen to your body or maybe not in my case, as mine always says "lay back Piglet mate, eat a little chocolate, lick a few pringles" and on those days the most exercise I get is turning the pages of the 'NEXT' catalogue [:I][}]

LOL

You take it at your own pace Ray, you know when you're ill etc. We're just trying to nudge you in a friendly way!

I will say this though. We can listen too much to our bodies at times which may lead us to some of our worries. You know in your heart of hearts when is right but sometimes it's the getting going that is the hardest. I did need a little nudge from others and while it was not pleasant at the start, it did soon get easier.

One of the real attractions of yoga is that you can make it as passive or as active as you want..........lying on the floor is even a pose!!! Superb.

I've just come back from yoga tonight (only bloke again [:I]) so I'm off to get the leotard in the wash sharpish [^][)]

Take it easy,
Trev

Trev - what wonderful thread! thank you so much for sharing your story - it was probably the kick up the b*m I needed.... I have been locked in the 'just keep going and going' mode for the longest time and I think my wheels have come off and I am now going to actually really try and sort myself out. Your story made me think it was possible to get better so I can risk letting go a bit - if that makes any sense?

What a wonderful site - i wish i had had this 20 years ago when i first started to have the odd panic attack....

Thanks again - and keep getting stronger!

Great! Does that mean lying in bed is a pose too ?

Does this mean then Ray, that you wouldn't be up for the DVD I have just bought. Rosemary Connelly SALSACISE!!!!
As the title suggests its Sala Dancing with exercise. I love it.

Fee, that's lovely to hear. I'm glad you have found renewed hope.
I've met several others along this little journey that are proof that you can pass through the other side. Keep believing yet have patience as rushing brings it's own setbacks.

I think I've said it before but I believe that getting over your fears is a bit of a balancing act. You almost have to totally not care what happens but at the same time care alot deep down, if that makes sense?
I found that I had to take an attitude of "so what" to nearly everything. "So what if I'm late?" "So what if I feel dizzy all day and I felt dizzy all last week?" I know how hard it is to actually believe this at times, but keep telling yourself "so what?" and gradually it does start to sink in.
Write down what could be the worst things to happen. I think that when you write them down you will find most are not really that important or don't matter in the grand scheme of things.

Anyway, got to shoot.....client just arrived!

Cheers,
Trev

Back again!!

Ray, laying in bed could be a pose.........as long as you are not laying in bed mulling over negative thoughts all day!!!! If you are focusing your thoughts on positive stuff then it counts.

Piglet, we know that mate!!!!

Cheers,
Trev

I've had this thread brought to my attention due to someone else gaining inspiration from it and not remembering the thread at all I thought I'd refresh my memory.. There seems to be an awful lot about Trev's dress sense in here.

Now, we see Trev a lot these days as he's nearby and he seems to like the mayhem we live in and we love having him about cos he makes great tea and is wickedly good on the wii....

I can vouch however, that he now is the proud owner of a full Tuxedo outfit and he looks fantastically smart and dapper in it. We know, as Happyfeet and I escorted (frogmarched) him round our local city centre to get one yesterday as he is taking his girlfriend somewhere awfully posh for the weekend soon and this is the expected dress code for dinner.

We tried to convince him he needed to learn to waltz too, but he read the www better than we did and knows he has booked (purposefully) for the wrong night for dancing..

Oh and he's still doing good too, just back from yet another skiing trip.

Love Meg
