Week 3 has been very transformational for me. I am now comfortable reading out loud with ENTHUSIASM which as we all know is the KEY to unlocking the mysterious mind.

This has been a huge chunk of cement to break through as I have led a very quiet life and was never comfortable raising my voice. Possible past programming as I am a white?

I have very contently lived alone for 30+ yrs, never married, no kids. No need to raise my voice! I have also not tolerated that in relationships. And now I work with animals.

I get lots of startled looks from the six fur kids (2 dogs & 4 cats) that I have when I am speaking loudly and with enthusiasm. Something none of us are accustomed to.

It felt VERY uncomfortable at first but now I am feeling the energy and the movement within which is very exciting! I found that a key piece of this is walking around while I am reading. Definitely brings up the energy and feels great!

Another HUGE chunk of cement that is being chipped away is allowing myself to process FEELINGS. Those have been things that I have always tucked away because I did not have the time or heart space to allow myself to be taken over by them.

For as long as I can remember, I very rarely cried, and if I did it was a few tears and then I moved on. Including times when I have lost beloved pets. I can’t tell you how many times my internal voice would be telling me that I SHOULD be crying and allowing sadness / grief to wash over me and be released. However it was something that I was not able to “force” myself to do, and it would always leave me feeling like there was something wrong with me. I had no time for grief.

Through this process of learning how to quiet my mind through our sits, I’m beginning to break down those walls.

There have been several times since I started this process that my heart actually let feelings in. Those walls have been a concrete fortress guarding my heart for decades. It is such a unique and wondrous feeling to be chipping away at that barrier to my true self. Who knows, I may even begin to put myself out in the dating game again!! Seeking a life partner involves FEELINGS, which this process is showing me that I am on the road to processing more & more of.

I have completed the 3rd revision of my DMP and added some additional details that I can truly feel and visualize.

Visualization is another cement wall that I am breaking through. I have always been too busy attempting in vain to corral the monkeys in my mind to be able to visualize anything. So this part in particular is quite thrilling for me.

I am busting through some serious concrete here and it FEELS AMAZING!!

I’ve been working on slowing down and noticing the various colors and shapes which is an ingenious way to link back to my accomplishments and promises to myself. I love this!!!

Previously to the Master Key Experience, I never put any value into promises that I made to myself. I consistently promised myself I was going to do various things and for the most part did not do those things. I would just brush it off and then beat myself up over and over for not keeping my promises to myself.

So even though this may have seemed like a “childish” activity, it has been huge for me! I am FEELING proud and accomplished, even breaking into joyful dance and documenting my journal with more of what I AM doing as opposed to entries that were nothing but confirmations of the old blueprint.

IT FEELS FABULOUS!!!

My goal for this coming week is to keep up with all of the readings. That seems to be the area that my subby is able to convince me that I have more important things to do in that moment or that I am too tired at night.

I saw a comment on someone’s blog about recording them in my own voice so I can listen in my car or on headphones when I am walking my canine clients. Awesome idea!!! This will definitely help me when Subby loves to tell me how tired I am at night and that I work so hard I should just lay down after I get home from a long day.

Come on Subby, you never sleep, please stop convincing me that all I want to do is sleep after my work day is done! Hhhmmmm….. I can see something along these lines going on my goals for this week!!!

All in all this has been an amazing week for me. I am teaching myself that “Progress Beats Perfection”.

No more focusing on what I have not done. My focus is now on learning the skills to developing a life affirming partnership with Subby.

My incredible life of joy & purpose awaits!!!
