HI,
Bizi,
I do wear the cpap. Pdoc said not wearing it is a stroke risk. You are right that it does complicate going to sleep.
Waves,
The tdoc mantra was something like this:
I release my need to be taken care of. Tdoc said that I needed this mantra before I can get to a more direct mantra about sleep, but it is awkward. I haven't come up with a good rewrite.
The mantra about my colleague's death and about work stinking took me a month to remember and say. It was hard to say in the beginning. It came off the tongue strange and I would cry saying it aloud:
I willingly release my attachment to having things go right. I say it more easily now and maybe it is working because I feel more distant about things at work. I am slightly less attached than I used to be.
This is the book that tdoc has asked me to read and use like a work book:
You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, published in 1984

Here are some things from the first page of her book:
Quote:
The universe totally supports us in every thought we choose to think and believe. Put another way, our subconscious mind accepts whatever we choose to believe.
|
also
Quote:
The universal power never judges or criticizes us.
|
Louise Hay has written other books since this book was published in 1984. She also has motivational talks on youtube.

This stuff is reeeaaally goofy. I know that. But I looked very hard to find tdoc to do this kind of work and I found her. She is good. I will make an appt with her for mid-May
