I have nothing troubling to write about today. It's sort of a weird feeling feeling really good. I like it. I feel very comfortable in my own skin and feel very connected to my children.

I have a vision board that I play with - it's in powerpoint and consists of pictures and music and statements of what I want to create and attract in my life. I love working on it and coming back to it to see what's come true, what's shifted and what I want to add. What's very interesting about working on vision statements is that when I focus on what I want, I can be more open to allowing different ways of it happening. For example, I have been very focused on my body weight.

But it doesn't feel very good to do that and I wasn't feeling inspired to take much action. I got very clear and realized what I really want is to feel great in my body. Since I clarified what I want, I have started running and taking karate with my son. My weight isn't changing but I love feeling stronger and more athletic and great in my body.

Working on my vision board is what inspired me to launch my EFT practice a few years earlier than I had planned. I felt dread when I thought of not working until the children are older and I really wanted to find a way to feel I had meaningful work beyond raising my children. After getting clear, the path to my EFT work just opened up easily and clearly.

I have been grumpy for the last six years of my life. After my first son was born, I recovered quickly. By recover, I mean regaining the same state of health I had before my pregnancy. After my daughter was born less than two years later, I didn't recover quite as quickly. I found myself more stressed and worn out and short-tempered. Afterr my third child was born, I became permanently grumpy (well almost.)

I told myself that once the children started sleeping through the night (which took years each), I'd feel better. But I didn't. I told myself that I just needed some time to myself. Or I needed more time connecting with the children. Or I needed to develop more outside interests. Or I needed to spend more time at home ....

No matter what I tried, and my children are now 5, 7 and 8 years old, I couldn't feel better. I gained weight and ate weirdly and while I do exercise quite a bit and have a variety of outside interests, I just can't seem to get back my zest. It's like having PMS all the time.
