It took 2 1/2 weeks into this Program to recognize the obvious - to figure out WHY I was having these CONTINUALLY negative thoughts and the CONSTANT anticipation about twitching. EVERY time I would go to bed, or SIT in my chair to read, or SIT and meditate, or LIE on the couch to watch TV ... the same thoughts would arise immediately ... "The twitching is on its way!" Even going to the movies, I would still get my usual AISLE seat in anticipation that at SOME point during the film, the twitching would START up again. For the first little while the negative thoughts are understandable. But when it's obvious that the RLS is a LOT less intense than it used to be, it gets frustrating. Then finally, after 2 1/2 weeks, it hit me! It became CLEAR to me WHY this kept happening. I realized that I had been having these anticipatory thoughts for OVER 20 years, with good reason. Every time I went to bed, or sat in a chair to read, or lay on the couch, or went to a movie, or flew in an airplane, thoughts about the impending twitching were present ... because that was the REALITY of my life at that time. It wasn't a matter of "I wonder IF it's going to happen?" - it was a matter of "I wonder WHEN it's going to happen?" It would be nice to be able to say to the mind that I DON'T need to have these thoughts anymore, they no longer apply. It would be GREAT if the mind could acknowledge this and FOCUS on the POSITIVE aspects of the healing process ... but unfortunately it doesn't WORK that way. If I was to QUIT drinking after drinking EVERY day for 20 years ... I'm still going to have THOUGHTS about drinking for a LONG time, even when I'm sober ... because those are thoughts I repeatedly had for over 7,300 DAYS in a row! It's a deeply burrowed habit. You just can't STOP these thoughts by SLAMMING on the brakes. The shifting and replacing of these thought patterns is going to take TIME. The readings will HELP with this process, as will the exercises to QUIET the mind. But, as is the case with ALL healing in Nature, the most IMPORTANT ingredient is TIME. Try to remember when you're LYING in bed tonight and THOUGHTS of twitching come up, that it's NOTHING PERSONAL. Your mind is NOT taunting you. This is just an OLD habit - a very deep and ingrained PATTERN that you are in the process of replacing. But the process is SLOW. As time goes by, these thoughts will eventually lose their attraction, and will no longer FLOAT around in your conscious mind. But for the next while, they'll remain in the forefront. Do your best to LET them go. They're just SHELLS of old thoughts. Don't give them life.
