the me to be

Ok, it's time for the second part of my Vision Worksheet
from my nutritionist trainer (click here if you haven't already).
Time to think about job, career and/or what I want to do with most of my time.

For the past decade or so my commitments felt like too much.
I had to jack up on stimulants, Red Bull, coffee and energy drinks just to keep up with myself.

One might look at what I've been doing and say "Cut back on your commitments."
Sounds reasonable.
I do tend to take on a lot of activities that rely on me to make them run.

And what if I did cut back?
I could rest more, but
it still would not heal my adrenal fatigue.
Resting is not enough.

In an article claiming that Adrenal Fatigue is really Addison's or Fibromyalgia (fibro was not considered legitimate until recently when big pharma decided to cash in on treating it) a medial doctor explains,

"...your adrenal glands are unable to keep pace with the demands of perpetual fight-or-flight arousal. As a result, they can't produce quite enough of the hormones you need to feel good. Existing blood tests, according to this theory, aren't sensitive enough to detect such a small decline in adrenal function — but your body is. That's why you feel tired, weak and depressed."
- Todd B. Nippoldt, M.D. on The Mayo Clinic website

What am I doing for my adrenal fatigue?
Good food in a
high fat low carb diet,
deep breathing,
chi gong,
whatever exercises my nutritionist/trainer prescribes,
lots of supplemental oils (fermented cod liver oil, virgin coconut oil, olive oil, raw butter),
digestive support (click here),
probiotics,
minerals,
regular sleep patterns,
slowly eliminating caffeine.

Notice what's missing?
Prescription drugs.

No wonder The Mayo Clinic won't take this condition seriously.
But hey.
Screw them.
They can give me advice about how to stay off a ruptured tendon but when it comes to nutrition I'll stick with a holistic nutritionist.

Any wayyyyyy.

Deciding what I want to do with my life has always been hedged in by my lack of energy.
I have to remember that as I envision my future.
I am free to imagine a level of energy commensurate with my vision!

Here we go with Part 2 of my Vision Worksheet

Vocational
a) What would you love to do?
b) What are you passionate about?
c) What kind of people do you want to be around?
d) What kind of responsibilities do you want?

a) I would love to teach, speak, write, create an institute for continuing education for the holistic healing arts and a center for full spectrum healing (including hypnois for mental conditioning, yogic meditation and nutrition for physical healing). I would love to produce books, CDs, DVDs, workshops, a full blown interactive website and a weekly show or podcast.

b) I am passionate about the mind body connection and how we can strengthen our power to heal ourselves and others. I am passionate about metaphysical understanding, spirituality, religion and enlightenment. I am passionate about facilitating compassionate expression of our innermost selves (the divine in all of us). I am passionate about giving and receiving inspiration.

c) I want to be around healers, scholars, motivators, spiritual teachers, religious seekers, yogis, martial artists, lightworkers, occultists, students, coaches, activists, gardeners, food snobs, artists, and visionaries.

d) I want to be responsible for the creative delivery of information, stories and truths about the most ultimate concerns of humankind. I want to be CEO of my own mega kingdom where I have total creative control. I want to run a fabulous institute where energy flows to create positive outcomes. I want to be responsible for delegating what I can to empowered individuals who are on board with my mission. I want to be responsible for supporting non-profit initiatives such as those supporting small organic farms and the Weston A. Price way of nourishing ourselves.

Whew!
That was MUCH easier than the personal/emotional section of the Vision Worksheet.

Right now I'm tired and hungry.
Meh.
What else is new.
I think I'll dip some crisp Amish sausage into some onion chutney and go rest on the couch.
Possibly dozing.
