Late in the night!

Wow its a bit late in the night, but I just wanted to post something recently that I found has helped! Definitely making sure I have a daily triad has been great, I make sure to do ten minutes of relaxation in the morning, and then some physical activity (Ok I've only done this a few times) and then some reward time - like playing video games or something!
I really think that the relaxation\exercise is a key - the double whammy! Because the relaxation is more for the mind, and then the exercise lets you vent frustrations and other things out through running\walking!

An interesting example was yesterday I went for a run\walk ... I was listening to my ipod and then as I was about to start walking home, I really starting sprinting for all it was worth! There was a great song playing, and I just started running like there was no tomorrow, pretty much until I almost collapsed. It was great!! Well once I could breathe again, I had almost 20 minutes of feeling quite light headed!! Im not that fit, but I remember walking along the road and this car behind me honked - now normally I would have got a small fright - but I distinictly remember it not phasing me. I then went into the supermarket and the feeling lasted for about half an hour. Spots and floaters were definitely not annoying me!

Its interesting isn't it, I mean they were still there! But that impact, that kindof a bit scary feeling wasn't there. How crazy is it, that its more that scary feeling that is the culprit, its the stress you feel when they are bugging you that really hurts you. Wouldn't it be great to have that off all the time.... hmmm well when I know, you will know! But it was a nice breakthrough, also I advise anyone to create your own blog! I'll link it from here, just another way to have an outlet when you cant run, or cant relax!

One extra thing that i'm trying to remind myself, was when I was watching doctor Phil the other day, I remember him saying something to someone - along the lines of (and I related to myself feeling frustated with spots and floaters) ... he said to say to yourself "well you know what, I'm just going to have to freefall for a bit - the guy upstairs has got to have a plan for me" ... not sure why but that really hit home for me, and I've been saying that to myself.

Also included is the fact that it is ok to find this stuff frustrating, its alright to feel a bit lost with this sometimes, because hey its not my fault, it wasn't my decision to get this stuff - but I think I always have a choice - on how much impact I let it have on my life. Whether thats a conscious choice or an unconscious one - haha well that sounds great writing it, I might try and see if I can put that thought into practise to better myself!

Anyway thanks for reading!! Will post again soon!
