Day 30 A BREAKTHROUGH:)

    Hello all

    it’s day 30 of the s e program for me and I have had a massive breakthrough tonight.

    I thought I’d write about it in case someone else is reading this and it helps them.

    I got to day 29 on the program and I stopped it for about 6 weeks or so, I lost my way and
    Started to feel down with the back pain that has been constant.
    I have healed using sep and tms couple of years ago, so I accept the diagnosis.
    so I stopped for 6 weeks and yesterday I just thought right Lee, get back into sep and
    Exercise....

    I did day 30 of sep tonight after work and finished it at 10pm here in Brighton uk,
    Then I thought to myself right.
    I will join a gym and go tonight I don’t care if I have pain. So I joined online to a new 24 hours gym, and went straight away.

    I was in the gym my 11pm. I did walking on treadmill run (I had a fear to run feels great )
    Some weights and then came home.
    I felt quite emotional walking out of the gym as I know I have turned a corner.
    I feel great I don’t have a much pain and I’m not listening to it any more.

    I will go again to the gym tomorrow night at 10pm and every night I can.

    I was starting to feel down and like I wasn’t in control, thinking I need an mri scan.

    Just by saying to myself right you can do this and I’m Gona show myself and I did.

    I’m so happy I went and did it and I will continue to go to the gym, and not listen to any pain I have. I’ll tell myself there is nothing wrong with me do it.

    I just feel a massive weight lift off of me, that I can do anything I want with no limits or worry.

    I hope this helps someone else, keep positive
    Just as I was giving up I have turned the corner... :))

    Good wishes to all of you on the sep from Brighton tonight.

    Have a good day.
    Lee :)

    There's the magic turn... that instant of awareness when our "inner" or "true" self sees the outer scared, external, terrestrial physical thinking brain and makes a decision and TAKES ACTION.

    "Three frogs are sitting on a log and two of them decide to jump....
    how many are left?

    All three... they only decided.

    They never followed it up with action"

    Y'all are home free!

    Thank you baseball65 (sorry don’t know
    Yr name)

    but thank you so much for taking the time
    to reply.

    I get what you mean a about taking action
    As I been in the mentality of I can’t do this
    Or that or travel.
    Then just said to myself no I can do anything I want to.
    But you are right it’s thinking it and then taking action on it.
    I had no pain during gym or after :)

    Pain has come back today, but when I feel it
    I tell myself no. I’m not LISTENING to you
    I am fine and healthy and strong.

    I’m going back to the gym tonight again :)

    I know I’m on the right track now...

    Have a great evening.

    Lee
