"Heal your Fear of Abandonment
Some say the fear of abandonment is a universal fear. It's common to most people in most places. It is that anguishing, heartbreaking moment when we believe someone is going to leave us. For many of us, the fear began when some important person did leave or abandon us -physically or emotionaly. Now the very thought of it happening again terrifies us.
Although the fear may be universal, if we have it, it still belongs to us. It needs to be faced, felt, acknowledged and released--it needs to be healed--or else it may control our lives and harm our relationships.
Sometimes we may fear being abandoned so much that we don't want anyone to leave us--even people we don't like--because it triggers that old familiar feeling. If we don't deal with it, however , people can use it against us. All they have to do is threaten to leave and we crumble, acquiesce at the mere thought of feeling that way again.
Underneath the fear of abandonment another fear may lurk too, a deeper fear that somhowe we've made the people we love go away. Sometimes in our lives, certain people have had to go away because that is where their path led them. But if they felt confused, guilty, or uncertain about leaving, they may have lied to us. They may have told us we did something wrong, we caused the separation, it was our fault they were leaving And their lie embedded in us.
Did someone tell that lie to you? Tell yourself something different. Tell yourself the truth. YOu don't make people go away. You weren't the cause. If someone needed to leave you, that was his or her choice.
Heal your fear of abandomnment.
Set yourself and others free."

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
