The guy who’s often called the father of
modern psychology, William James, is
quoted as saying:
“There is nothing so fatiguing as the eternal
nagging of an uncompleted task.”
But WE know it’s really about the eternal
nagging of an “un-inquired thought.”
By that I mean a thought that keeps knocking…
and knocking…and knocking on the door of
our awareness….
…politely trying to get our attention at first…
But cranking it from a gentle knock and a whisper…
to a thump and a loud cough…to a louder, “Hey!,”
to a scream and kicking the door down if we continue
to ignore it.
It’s like the Ever Ready Bunny that keeps going…
and going…and going…
Of course, I think a wonderful and safe place to
“open the door,” acknowledge the knocking,
and inquire into the thought and the pain, is
to sit yourself down and do The Work.
You can do this soon,
in my teleclasses, one-on-one sessions,
and Seattle weekend retreats.
The upcoming weekend Seattle workshop on food,
eating, weight issues (the same agony I went through),
is called:
Horrible Food-Wonderful Food!
Healing the Love/Hate Relationship with
Eating, Food, & Our Bodies-that Leads
to Weight Gain & Loss, Anorexia, Bulimia,
Exercise Addiction, Binge Eating,
Dangerous Diets and Depression.
It starts on Friday night, Jan. 13 and only has 3 spots left.
The teleclass on the same topic starts on Jan. 17,
and is limited to 10 people…so let me know as
soon as possible if you’re interested (same link).
For some reason (I think it’s New Year’s resolutions),
the January classes fill up faster, and I expect to
have a waiting list.
Be better than well.
Love,
Grace
