Just wanted to say. . .

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone. I'm pretty new to this group - been here a few days, at most -

but I have to say I'm really glad I found this group. I've really enjoyed the

conversations, and I'm already learning so much! There's so much to know and

figure out in this process, isn't there?

 

I started off my new year (a couple days late) using Harvey & Marilyn Diamond's

" Fit for Life " program, and so far so good. Since Monday, I've lost 8 pounds!

Even this soon in the program, I'm waking up energized, ready to jump out of bed

and get on with my exercises, and I have great energy throughout the day.

 

One thing I am noticing - and sadly, I'm finding it highly annoying - is that

people around me drag themselves around in the morning; the people I live with,

the people I work with, everyone seems to literally be forcing themselves to put

one foot in front of the other. Sometimes it seems they even deliberately

exagerate the problem. Surely they can't all be this zombie-like? I find

myself having very little patience for this zombie act in the mornings.

 

Okay, I grant you, this is an attitude problem, rather than a problem associated

with diet, but I was wondering if anyone else noticed the seemingly extreme

differences in energy levels between yourself and others, and got this annoyed

with it? And if so, could you share your experiences with me, maybe give me

some ideas on how to let go of that annoyance? I'd really appreciate hearing

from some of you!!

 

Thanks,

Carolyn

I know what you mean; I think our culture encourages a negativity that seems to

pervade everything, but at the same time, I think we need to try to develop

compassion for each other, especially as we find healing and health through a

different way of life. I know that I used to be one of those zombies, and that

the way I ate and lived definitely had an impact on how I saw the world. Now

that things have changed for me, I think I have to be careful not to judge

others; I really don't know the specific things that may be feeding their

attitudes, and it really doesn't help them for me to be annoyed with them. All I

can do is offer my own experience to them if they are interested, and if not,

live and let live.

 

One thing that can help is simply trying to put yourself in places with others

of better energy as much as is possible. We can't always avoid negativity, but

we can lessen our exposure to it.

 

Peace, and welcome to the group!

Hi Carolyn,

 

I've lost a lot of pounds the past couple of weeks too. I'm not too

energized yet, still sleeping in a little bit, but not as much as

when I wasn't raw. The last time I got raw, I remember after a

couple of weeks or so of getting up earlier. Humans are naturally

that way on the cooked diet, dragging themselves around. They don't

notice it about themselves so it's not an issue for them. I don't

like the look of aging " death " in most people I see and most people

seem very obtuse when it comes to new ideas. Especially if I say, go

into the city and walk around, the aura of the march to death that

most people project is sad and annoying to look at. I guess I see it

more clearly when I'm not I'm not trapped so much in that unconscious

haze myself.

 

Patience will grow for you I suppose, as it does for all of us. I

don't think there's any way to let go of the annoyance completely,

it's a growth of love and compassion for our fellow man that we all

have to grow. The stronger I am in my own practices and the more

peaceful I am about it, the easier I can let others be who they are

in my perceived deficient ways, and just try to help in any way that

I can or that others will let me.
