"The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment;
it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone."
Orison Swett Marden
Sometimes I forget why I’m doing things, I needed to remind myself last night that I have a plan and yes its hard… and far too hectic right now… but it WILL calm down and settle.
I hadn’t allow myself any room to adjust back into “Normal” work… when a tax bill hit (unexpectedly) and I started worrying about my hospital appt tomo (what if i’m unable to do the swim… what if I’ll always have slightly creaky feet n left knee…) it all bought back something I hadn’t felt for a while… stress.
Work is wicked, the jobs better than I imagined, I’ve learnt loads… yeah for a while it was overwhelming picking up and getting to grips with 100+ clients - but I’m making headway now.
Onwards to the weekend, hopefully a chance to upload the pics from turkey..
Here is a video from an old friend of mine, Nikki, she’s worked in mental health and occupational therapy for years and trained in EFT about 2 years ago - it’s a video to help any of you who may be looking to lose weight remove some of the obstacles that may be preventing you from doing so:
You should all check out her new company website on EFT, there’ll be links to more videos in the future - also subscribe to their youtube channel.
Having studied a lot of NLP and psychology stuff, I understand why this works, very well and whilst I haven’t used any of it myself I know Nikki lost a lot of weight after having her baby using this particular technique.
PS I won’t bore you with the explanations of why it works either email me if you really wanna know!
I’m not sure what’s going on… this weekend, I feel like I’m runnin on empty. Perhaps its settling into the new job (getting up at 7 instead of 9..), maybe it’s because I didn’t do bike club or swimming (huh??) or is it that I’ve eaten/drunk too much at all the weddings last week?
Could it be a remnant of the stupid illness… possibly, although I’m much better i do still get it a bit in my feet.
Saturday, having worked from 830am and then played to a stomping Slinky till 500am, I just couldn’t face the Redbull FlugTag in London I really wanted to go, but I think I’d actually of ended up in hospital with exhaustion.
Even my emergency redbull + cranberry juice didn’t fix it. Got stuff to do today before the week begins, it’s so lovely out… maybe I’ll go for a spin on the bicycle…
Runnin on empty 2
As a car owner (weird me saying that).. I’m glad petrol prices are rising, not like clappingly happy but I think the petitions n stuff to lower it are missing the point - OIL IS FINITE people, we need to start looking at alternatives, we’re close to “peak supply” and demand is still rising, its all up from here, deal with it.
Personally, i’m going to try and minimise my car use when its required by my job or as much as possible sharing my journeys.
If i’d had the funds, I’d happily of bought a hybrid Prius - I want the Tesla electric car too! In fact thats replaced the Lotus as the car of my dreams: “noice”…
3 weddings - congrats to Steve + Tanya / Anna and erm… thingy… / Gav + Maz
1 trip to twickenham - i’ve uploaded the footage of a mexican wave to youtube. England vs Barbarians - good times.
I bought a car - silver ford focus 3 door
started a job - I’m an “internet consultant” - me? know anything about the world wide interwebs? naaah… oh yeah and did almost a 7am start 7pm finish today (inc travelling to hampshire)
literally, my life has been one long crazy in/out sleep/up early run around/drinkin wine n eatin food crazy rugby watching mexican waving roller coaster!
AAaaaahhhhhh, uuuuuhhhh…. thunk
I’ll upload some pics from it all soonhere (viewable by anyone)
***** Slinky @ opera house - this friday (june 6th) - Me in Room 2 for yakuji love - 2am till close set - wooooop *****
I predicted it was only a matter of time till the Anonymous vs Scientology thing started hitting the “msm” (mainstream media), well it has, or at least one aspect of the story, but I think this is the beginning of wider coverage.
A protester known as “Epic Nose Guy”, reported the following events:
“I brought a sign to the May 10th protest that said: “Scientology is not a religion, it is a dangerous cult”.
Within 5 minutes of arriving at QVS ($cientology centre in London), I was told by a member of the police that I was not allowed to use ‘that word’, and that the final decision would be made by the Inspector.
At around 11:15, while on the high ground of QVS, I was approached by these happy fellows:
I was read the Section 5 Public Order Act of 1986, and was told I was strongly advised to remove the sign. You can see my response in the video, as I read out Justice Latey’s statement about the Cult of Scientology. I was given until 11:30 to remove the sign.
At around 12:05 the police caught up with me, I was given a Court Summons and my details were taken down. Videos will surface. My sign was removed”
And as the BBC reports it:
Justice Latey, ruling in the High Court of London was quite clear in his use of the word Cult:
“Scientology is both immoral and socially obnoxious…It is corrupt sinister and dangerous. It is corrupt because it is based on lies and deceit and has its real objective money and power for Mr. Hubbard… It is sinister because it indulges in infamous practices both to its adherents who do not toe the line unquestionably and to those who criticize it or oppose it. It is dangerous because it is out to capture people and to indoctrinate and brainwash them so they become the unquestioning captives and tools of the cult, withdrawn from ordinary thought, living, and relationships with others.”
..as is the dictionary…
cult (Oxford English dict.)
1 a system of religious worship directed towards a particular figure or object.
2 a small religious group regarded as strange or as imposing excessive control over members.
3 something popular or fashionable among a particular section of society.
Its interesting to see that Liberty say the only way this would be a crime is if the word cult could be shown to be offensive or insulting to Scientology.
Hmmm… its not recognised as a religion in this country, it gets certain tax/VAT concessions as a not for profit organisation. Is calling an organisation which is not a church really a religious hate crime?
Perhaps it comes down to intention… did Anonymous (and ENG) use the word as a means of harassing them? With 4 monthly protests in over 100 countries and not one incident so far, hardly… there are however plenty of documented assaults in reverse, stalking or protesters in numerous cities (ontario most recently), or just google the fair game policy of Scientology!
