Venting/need incrouragement

[Guest guest]

Hi Debra,

 

This is totally fine! You write as much as you want :-)

 

Gosh, you sound like me; sometimes I also spend more time looking at all the things I'm NOT doing, rather than patting myself on the back for all the right things I AM doing!! We're funny creatures, us humans, aren't we?!!!

 

Well done for the organic dinner!!!

 

love

Lisa

Herbal Remedies - Venting/need incrouragement

Hello all,I just need to vent a bit. Hope that's ok.Today for some reason, I've been feeling anxious. Even had a bit of anxiety attack this afternoon.I think that perhaps I'm thinking wrong. I realize I've been telling myself that I'm just not good enough to get this all together.I really want to be all organic, and make the total nutrition and take it every morning along with the vit. c that I want to make, along with Hulda Clarks perfect breakfast. And all the other amazing things that will help me. Do you think I'm pressuring myself?

Hi Debra,

 

I hope you don't mind if I offer a suggestion? My son was diagnosed

with ADHD in first grade which began a journey that lead us to

homeschooling. He's been at home for 10 years now, along with our

daughter (who's never been to school).

 

If I may, I'd like to recommend reading anything you can get your hands

on by John Taylor Gatto (there's a lot of his writings online). He may

help to change your ideas of what learning looks like, and in what

settings it takes place. You may well find another way that works

better for your son.

 

A BIG congrats to you for caring enough to look at things, and I offer

encouragement to you as you begin. I can relate fully.

My 7 year old son is so smart, but at shcool he's just not

performing. He's distracted. At home, in his room, he does work

from the next grade level. So I looked at the ADD file. I thought

my son had quite good nutrition. He's my good eater, but then I

was feeling inadequate about not feeding my children well, not

pushing it to the next level and spending the extra on the organic.

Debra,

 

Take small steps. It takes a while to change old habits, but you have the desire and it will happen. I know how you feel because I get those feelings often. I also live out in the country and have no one to share with. Even the friends I have do not believe in a healthy lifestyle so I can't share my feelings with them. My husband is a junk food addict. The only support I have is from this group and some other sites. I won't give up because I know this is the right way to go.

 

If you ever need someone to chat to, feel free to write me off-list.

Herbal Remedies - Venting/need encouragement

And all the other amazing things that will help me. Do you think I'm pressuring myself? I think that's why I posted to Doc about the sanitorium. You know, go where there are no distractions, learn it right, do it right, then go home and be confident that I've got it right.
