9AM Day Fifty

Each morning this year thus far I've tried living in the moment of  the early morning walk and have journaled what I've noticed on the way and then been doing The Doubler.

For two minutes a day, think of one positive experience that’s occurred during the past 24 hours. Bullet point each detail you can remember. It works, because the brain can’t tell the difference between visualization and actual experience. So you’ve just doubled the most meaningful experience in your brain. Do it for 21 days, your brain starts connecting the dots for you, then you have this trajectory of meaning running throughout life.

I did this with the National MS Society. Previous research from the University of Texas found that if you have a chronic neuromuscular disease, chronic fatigue and pain, and you do this for six weeks in a row, six months later, they can drop your pain medication by 50 percent.

9AM Day Forty Five

Breakfast over (fruit toast, water and latte) and time to get on with the cryptic crossword to take my mind off the fact that Valentine's Day is here and no one really interested in sharing it with me.

9AM Day Forty Four

Gardening was one of my goals on returning to Australia and settling  in Aireys Inlet. A tad ambitious really given that a) it's a double block b) I have little or no gardening expertise and until recent time no great interest in pulling weeds.

However the herb barrow is proving to be a good way to start in small measure. I then bought the Vietnamese mint from Poppies in Anglesea. One of the gardeners there was very helpful in giving a quick lesson is how to harvest herbs.
