I never even realized that musturbation thing. So true. I have a painting right now that I "must" finish this week, and that "must" is what's keeping it from being completed. I love painting, but because the "must" is there, it's become a chore. Now I feel I can conquer that. Thanks! Wow. I never even realized that musturbation thing. So true.

Sorry, I'm behind the 8 ball this week. It is tough to change habits. I've had more success with some than others - my eating in the evenings is emotional. I'm trying to feed myself in other ways - interests and passions. I've been teaching myself acrylics. I've slacked off lately, but I find the creative and expressive outlet really therapeutic. It doesn't matter if I'm ever good, just that I enjoy it. I got into astronomy this year. Besides my own telescope, I volunteer at an observatory. I love doing that soo much that I don't care about a lot of the little crap in life as much. What unwinds and relaxes me most is exercise. Especially, my pilates yoga blend dvd. I can completely let my thoughts drift while doing this [sometimes so much that I lose track of what I'm doing]. This routine seems to center me and calm me in a way I've been seeking for a long, long time. Another is to play some favorite music and dance around like a crazy person. I find to relieve stress and anxiety, I need to do three things: 1) physically burn it off; 2) do something constructive that moves me away from that pit [make a plan - or tell myself it is only one moment in time of discomfort and it will soon go away] and 3) get my mind onto something else. I don't know if any of this helps anyone else. Great topic! Sorry, I’m behind the 8 ball this week.

I love these videos. Emotional eating is an area where I am just now beginning to feel at peace. I just finished the 100 Days Challenge based on a book by Linda Spangle in which she deals with emotional eating issues. Once I realized what I was doing (comforting myself) with food as a drug, I've been able to find other alternatives like, long baths, exercise, blogging, blogging, blogging, trying on new clothes. I'm even trying new recipes without the need to eat the entire dish after it is done. Food just doesn't have the hold it had this time last year. Thanks for the visit. Hope you love the recipe.

Those must and shoulds are things that I need to think about. I feel a lot of times that I must be everything to everyone, and I know that is not possible, this year i hope to let go of a lot of things that I feel I should be doing, and ejoy this life for all that it has in it.
