Detox suggestions/stress - Renee, M

[Guest guest]

I help people all of the time (whether they follow my advice is a different

story) for free, here (I hope), at work, giving talks at my mom's weight loss

group, etc., but i have to make a living somehow, and it might as well be

something that puts me in the minority as having a job that I actually enjoy,

and get rewards from besides the one that you get when you turn 68 or older!

Another thing I have trouble with is accepting money or actually *charging* for helping people. I'm altogether *too altruistic, but there's nothing wrong with making a comfortable living doing what you love and helping others. It isn't a bad thing to charge people for help, and that is what I had to overcome.

 

 

 

I cannot tell you how often I come across this especially with aromatherapy and herbalists. I have that feeling too!!!

OH OH OH that just is *wrong*. (my humble opinion only of course) I come

from a family of book lovers. Books were soooo precious on the frontier (I

still have some that my Great Great Grandmother brought west from Illinois). I

can't throw away a book. I go through mine every 10 years or so and give away

or sell the ones that aren't pertenint to my life at the time (not many), but

then I go find another bookshelf that I can stack on top of something as I'm out

of floor space.

You want to help people. . .as you breathwalk and chant sa ta na ma, project an

image of yourself as a counselor. So you didn't make it in your projected time.

.. .forgive youself for that and walk on!!

> That may be a start, as I look at the clutter and see the failure of my

projected goal for a livlihood, and also my failure to get out of debt i n the

past 5 -7 yrs. (and my folks say to throw away everything after you readit - I

can't keep everything filed in my noggin', I have to keep references around),

and the rest follows suit,
