I actually don't need hypnosis. I'm a visualist and if I can see it in my mind, I have done it.  Doing even a mediation works well with me.  I used Dr. Lawlis' cd's on weight loss and it really helped me thru some hard times.  But I need to break out of this BLAH feeling. Ever other day, I walk my dogs, go to the gym on 1 non-walking day, and do yardwork when the weather is okay.

 

Exercise is a great blah release. I guess I'm using the wrong word.  It's like I know that I have to stop sitting on the couch but moving is just something I'm not used to.  If I could afford to go to a professional therapist, I would go gladly. 

 

I was just wondering if anyone else had felt this way and had made it thru it.  I go thru it periodically - I've done so many different things to pull myself out.  I was just wondering if there was an easier way to do it.

 Do you walk or exercise with anyone else? If you don't, maybe it's time to dig up an exercise buddy. It can put some interesting touches on an activity that is maybe becoming routine? On another board, when I mentioned climbing a mountain as a new goal, it was because I felt my workouts becoming routine, and too focused on vanity. I needed a physical goal outside of weight loss. The response I got from the other posters was enough to keep me at it. It was wonderful. Now I've found an activity I really enjoy, and am pursuing it, my husband and I have found others to join us. It 's really becoming "play."
