yveskleinsky-

Rep speed to you for being the first person honest enough to admit this. Many would read this thread and just pass on, p*ssed off that I was asking them to do something that they hated/didn't want to do.

Change is often hard to do. Especially if it's not "fun".

(secret is, once you start doing this, it actually does get easier, and fun on much deeper, very soul-satisfying, level).

RE: Hernias and Elmo

Yes, I had my share of weirdness this month (talking about the surgery, not Elmo! ), but after the first few days post op, my 'excuses' for not updating this thread were just delay tactics-- to give everyone the time to really start taking action, or sliding back into old non-productive habits. And as a side note, besides getting the general anasthesia out of my system, I only took NSAIDs (ibuprophen). Have a whole bottle of Vicodin. Never took a one (I hate pain pills-- if my body is in pain, I feel like I should be listening to it, not hiding the pain. Just the way I am)

I also wanted to see if folks reading/following this thread would just be doing *some* of the exercises and not others.

Because I did that, too--- for years. Read the books. Did parts of the tapes/workbooks/CDs. Skipped the financials.

Never got me anywhere.

Until I started tracking my finances, on a micro-scale,
I did not realize or appreciate what being financially unconscious really is.

To anyone reading this who has *not* tracked their expenses yet: You won't necessarily have to do this forever. Just long enough to work through the exercise, and see what happens as you become financially *conscious*.

Conscious is the perfect word for this process. It really is an awakening.
