Diet Helps

-
I have been eating more healthily recently and I feel much clearer headed tonight.

I don't drink alcohol so that's not an issue for me, however I find sugar does make me feel pretty rotten. I tend to get a 'sugar high' at the time, then followed by a 'sugar low'.

I have been eating more fruit and vegetables and I've had fruit smoothies (freshly made) in the mornings.

My exercise is pretty non-existent at the moment so that's probably the next thing to work on.

Anyway goodnight!

Frank Bruno Criticises NHS

-
Frank Bruno (Ex-British Boxer who suffers from mental health issues) has criticised the NHS for their poor treatment of people with mental health issues. This completely echoes my experiences. I believe that removing stigma and campaigning against the current lack of care provided by the NHS and psychiatrists will help to improve matters.

Better Out Than In

-
I haven't blogged the last few days or so. This is because I've been busy. However as I say down to write something I realised that I didn't have much to say today. I think this is because I have emptied a lot of pent up anger and frustration on this blog so far and this has emptied me a lot. I feel much better having written a lot of stuff down in this blog. Quite a few people had told me to start writing my thoughts and feelings down, as they had also found it very beneficial. So if you aren't doing so already I'd definitely recommend the cathartic process that is known as blogging. However any form of writing is good. One friend of mine said that her depression lifted when she started writing poetry about how she felt. Her poetry is often quite witty and it helps her laugh at tough situations, as well as helping her release the pent up energy. So a short blog today. Try writing and let me know how you get on.

Non-Duality and non-trying

-
I believe that non-duality is the same as being totally authentic. When I had person-centred counselling several years ago, one topic the therapist kept talking about was the topic of learning to lose the false-self in order to find the true-self (i.e. to learn to be authentic). The parallel to this in the spiritual world (mainly in the non-duality or Zen world) is to just 'be'. When I first heard this I thought "Well I AM my true-self already. How can I NOT be me!? I am just 'being' already". However deep down I sensed there still might be some truth in these ideas. When someone suggests that we need to be authentic it can appear insulting. Being inauthentic is certainly an intended jibe that is heard occasionally in relation to someone being fake. However the state of being fake I am talking about in this article is when we are fake to ourselves. Some people in the non-duality / spiritual world believe that there is no way to reach the state of onene...
