I'm proud to say my diet is very clean. Been a vegetarian all my life, don't drink soda, caffeine, and I try to keep the sugar at a minimum.

Don't listen to much music, do surf the net a lot. I would say my environment was pretty calm, however whenever my spouse is around I can't help but feel his energy and actually feel better when I can get him out of the house.

Next time you feel "scatter brained" tell yourself that you are not scatter brained, that you are "off point" or that your experiencing "mental turbulence". There is great power to be had in to talk to yourself in a much more compassionate tone using constructive descriptive words. Your self talk can help/hurt you. Aspire to learn words and phrases that will indeed help heal your attitude.

This is excellent advice and I will start immediately. Though I do have a very positive outlook on myself, I haven't really noticed this mental barrage until recently. I will begin the reprogramming from the inside, starting now!

Becoming aware of your breathing pattern and consciously slowing it down will starkly increase your ability to control and maintain your thoughts and mind. Pranayama (Or the science of breath holding) is something I highly recommend to someone experiencing the lose of control over mind like you are. A simple exercise:

The 7/11 breath. Inhale for a count of 7 seconds. Hold your breath for 11 seconds. Exhale slowly for a count of 7 seconds. Repeat.

Try to use as much of your lung capacity as possible. Full breaths. Complete breaths. Slow and controlled. Do this for at least 10 breaths to start feeling the effects. Yes, you'll have to "slow down" and that's the point!

AWESOME advice and exactly what I need to start doing! I recently downloaded the EFT info to start applying it to my life.

Thanks for all the great advice!!!

Much love
