A Note From Anne

Dear ,

Anne is still in LA taking care of Lois, her sister, who is now out of the hospital and improving. Anne has only limited internet access, if any, so she's asked me to put together another issue for her. I've pulled some material from Anne's EZosophy blog for your enjoyment. Anne expects to be back on Wednesday, so you should hear from her next week.

  Happy "Do What You Want To Do" Day

Today, keep asking yourself, "What do I want to do now?" Avoid the "have to do's." If you really have something you have to do, transform your opinion of the task to the "get to do" section of your mind. A "have to do," when done with resistance, is a burden. Burdens are psychological and made up through a series of beliefs that life sucks. Life only sucks when it comes through our filters of judgment. When we leave life alone to be what it is, it flourishes.

Don't rush through today making your life a harried "to do" list. Remember to ask yourself, "What do I want to do?" For several nights, I have gone to my backyard deck, sat with a fire, and watched the stars. Last night I laid on the deck, peered through the canopy of trees, and expanded to life. My dog was beside me as we partook in the communion. I felt like I was on a wilderness trip, but I was really in my back yard. This activity has been on my "want to do list" for a while but I didn't do it. Today I am being truer to my "want to do" list.

Treasure the pleasure of life and do what you want to do. It's a refreshing change. Feed your soul. Don't be in a hurry to get things done or become a sole survivor in life. Be a soul thriver. Life doesn't hold us hostage; we do that on our own.

  Health Tip: Food for Thought

What is your relationship with food? Do you break up and binge, then make up and vow to eat healthier?

It's tough when someone tells us our life styles are self-destructive. Yet deep inside we know when we are at war with ourselves. We participate in food wars (aka eating junk), wars with friends and others, and wars that attack our self-worth. Still, when it comes to eating, unless we are drunk, drugged, or out of touch with reality, we have inklings of what kind of foods are good to us and for us. Our food problems tend to be more about staying on track than about amassing more information.

Given the mounting evidence of how physically liberating it can be to eat fresh, unprocessed foods (see, you knew that didn't you), wouldn't it be great if there were a thought that would help you stay on track with your eating? Happy days. There is such a thought. This amazing thought can help you stay slim, eat well, and help you maintain your perfect relationship with food. Okay, maybe that is a little over the top, but, it really is a fabulous thought. Drum roll: "My health is more important than my appetite." Isn't that a powerful thought to have when ordering food, milling around at a party, or grocery shopping? This is a reminder to us that we value our health.

If you had to rate your relationship with food, would you get a good rating? There used to be a restaurant report on TV in my area and the host would give "The Slime Report." The term referred to slime in the ice box. Some food inspector would come unannounced to check out the cleanliness of the restaurant. The reporter took the filthiest restaurants and gave their health scores. It was gruesome.

You are your health inspector. Don't let your relationship with food be a slime report; make it a health fair. Keep this thought in a special place where it is easily accessible: "My health is more important than my appetite." I'm counting of you, to eat good food. You know you want to, and I hope this thought can reinforce your choice for healthier living. Yum, yum. Eat well and prosper, and may the fork be with you.

What people are saying about Standing in the Dark:

"If as you said, it is not a positive thinking book, then, however, it is a positive being book, because positive has its own rewards. You wrote very eloquently, and gracefully about very hard to cover topics. More than that, your shadow is a light unto us, Anne, and your night is like a day. I thank you."
  – Veronica Nannee, Houston, Texas

"Someone asked me how you could be spiritual and live in the world. Your book spells it out perfectly."
  – Helen Hutchison, Nacogdoches, Texas

  Quotes

"Drama does not just walk into your life. You either create it, invite it, or you associate with people who love to bring it into your life."
  – Unknown

"Don't stumble over something behind you."
  – Unknown

"Life does not have to be Perfect to be Wonderful."
  – Unknown

"There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way."
  – Wayne Dyer

  EZosophy CD/DVD Spotlight

Each week in this space we'll be featuring one of Anne's CD's or DVD's. Click the link below to learn more.

EZosophy CD: Easy Body

Our bodies rely on our thoughts and beliefs for direction. We often believe it hard to take care of our bodies, eat healthy foods, or maintain physical well being. We criticize our tummies and frown at our imperfections. We can make the body relationship easy or hard. Having an easy relationship with our bodies can be easy, fun, and fulfilling. This CD is designed to work with both sides of the brain. This special effect is called Split Brain Learning. The split brain theory proposes that we have two separate realms of conscious awareness: two sensing, perceiving, thinking, and remembering systems. The left hemisphere controls language, sequential learning, and information storage. It is logical, rational, and linear. The right hemisphere is holistic, creative, thinks in pictures. It is nonlinear. This CD works with both sides of the brain to expedite a new understanding that will make your life easier. You need to work with each CD for 31 days or more to experience miraculous changes that make you live easier in the area you have chosen. CD: $14.99 Downloadable MP3 file & Printable Cards & Affirmations in PDF format - $9.99. http://www.annegillis.com/Books-CDs-Etc.html#Split
