love detox day 1 I've taken pretty much all the drugs that you can take, but the addiction to lust and love is one of the worst addiction to get rid of. Emotional outburst this morning, I need a bit of a plan of action to get out of this. It wasn't really a relationship but in the last few weeks our interactions became a bit more telling of our mutual attraction. There is nothing to break really as it wasn't anything, but I have to break my own habits. I've created a mind pattern that keeps me thinking about her, fantasizing about the future. Thinking how to talk to her, when I'll see her again. - When I think about her I put her in the light(1) - I use this constant pattern to help with dream yoga. - Each time an intrusive though comes in, I question, is this a dream? - I don't contact her anymore. - No more fantasy - Celibacy I need a focus for a few weeks, to break this pattern. I don't want to use another fantasy, another relationship to busy my mind. I feel this story was also to help me move from my ex, but also move into a more meaningful life. This afternoon I felt better, but I've started to smoke some tobacco. For some reason, it calms my emotional self. I would like to start with a round of 2 weeks, until the new moon. From there I can see what is still needed. I find myself to be quite simple in these process, and I forget about things, about people quite fast. 1. Putting something in the light is an expression I use from a meditation of the light. Visualizing a light in front of me, and seeing that person, that event in the light, without intention, but knowing that the light is the best place for this thing to be. It helps a lot when I feel powerless in a situation, and it grounds me at the same time. It somewhat similar to offering to God what you cannot deal with.
