pulsing vortex
I love pulsing vortices! image by Rev. Xanatos Satanicos Bombasticos

I love that I’m writing this rampage already in the vortex! I love how good I feel after drinking a spinach smoothie! I love that I stopped writing this for a minute to return emails because having a clean inbox makes me feel RAWESOME. I LOVE that I’m making kale chips in the dehydrator! I love that I’ve been so happy with the way I’ve been eating the past couple days (spinach smoothies, lots of fruit & a touch of peanut butter)! I love my life SO MUCH! I love all the positive feedback I’ve been getting on the School of Life Design! OMG it has been incredible! I love getting new subscribers to the Life Design mailing list! I love plotting the next Life Design email I’ll send out! I love all the new people who have been coming into my life through this site! I love that I have google voice all hooked up now and that it is so easy to use! I love that we have a beautiful swimming pool that we’re about to go swim in! I love reading while chillin in the pool! I love that I’m re-reading Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill because it is benefitting me so much more the second time around!

I love that I get to do exactly what I want every single day! I love that I’ve been SO inspired to work on Life Design lesson 3! I love that I wrote the majority of it today, but am still finding new ideas to add to it everywhere I turn! I love that I have a new way of designing the post! I love that my dreams have been so vivid lately! I love our apartment and how organized it is! I love this beautiful city! I love that I finally returned our last Jerry & Esther Hicks DVDs to netflix so we can get the next one! I love that Kelly is so sweet to me and chops kale for me! I love that she is so smart about PCs! I love how she so patiently re-installed windows! I love how she always gives me little backrubs when she walks past me! I FUCKING LOVE BACKRUBS ALMOST MORE THAN ANYTHING OMG YOU HAVE NO IDEA! I love that we’re going to record an episode of the podcast now! I love how full and productive this day is, even though it is seeming completely effortless!

I love that Kelly is cool with me doing my own thing with food for a minute! I love that she is so accepting and understanding and only wants me to be happy! I love that we just chilled last night together instead of going out and forcing ourselves to come up with some action to make us feel good! I love that neither of us has a problem with turning off a crappy movie halfway through! I love my life in this city in this country in this world in this universe! I FUCKING LOVE CREATING MY OWN REALITY! I love that when I write Life Design posts I get totally freaked out about the enormity of what I’m writing! BECAUSE THIS SHIT WORKS AND LIFE REALLY IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN! I LOVE MY LIFE!

I love listening to the “new age essentials” genre station on pandora while I focus on feeling good in the morning! I love that I don’t have to go to a job! I love that I get to control everything that I do in my life and that I am in complete control of my experience! I love that I can concentrate on making myself feel good whenever I want! I love that I get to go on loooong walks during sunrise! I love meditating to raise my vibration! I love that I know without a shadow of a doubt that I am a vibrational being who chose to come to this time and space reality! I love being in control of my reality! I love all the options that open up before me every single day! I love that I can concentrate without interruption whenever I wish! I love my body and the food I eat to fuel it! I love my kitties and my family and this beautiful city that I live in!

how I assuaged my nervousness at the gyno today

When I went to Planned Parenthood today, I was nervous. But by the time my name was called, I had completely calmed down. I did it by writing down everything I was appreciating in the moment, and by thinking nothing but positive thoughts. Subsequently, my visit went super smoothly, the speculum was a hazy sensation, everyone was friendly to me, and I am pronounced completely healthy!

colored pencils
I am so grateful for these beautiful colored pencils and their cute shavings!

I am so grateful that Kelly and I walked over 13 miles yesterday! I am so grateful that we were ballsy enough to walk home 7 miles from Stephen’s place at 4:30am! I am so grateful for our incredible sunrise-on-the-rooftop, taco-brownie-espresso Whole Foods breakfast! I am so grateful we got to come home and space out to more Abraham teachings, which totally made me TRIP OUT. I’m so grateful I had this bizarre new insight into a way to unconditionally love myself–to picture my higher self watching my physical self with love and adoration! Weird huh?! I am so grateful we got to sleep for 10 glorious hours during the heat of the day! I am so grateful we are on this bizarre sleep schedule that makes every day feel like a vacation, and today in particular is a beautiful snow day!

I am so grateful for a SUPER FUN TRIPPY bus ride all around Austin yesterday! Kel and I got on the bus that stops outside our apartment, rode it through the entire route, and got back off when it came back to our place. We met a new friend and I took lots of photos!

I am so grateful to finally figure out how to eat! Here’s the secret: before every single thing I eat, I ask myself: will eating this make me feel good or bad? It makes eating SO SIMPLE. Spinach smoothie? Makes me feel good! Fritos? Make me feel bad! Apple? Makes me feel good! Tons of fried shit? Makes me feel bad! I am so grateful I have decided to care about how I feel!

I am so grateful to be anticipating a delicious kale salad for dinner! I am so grateful for Jerry and Esther, who we get to meet in October! I am so grateful for vegan food trailers in Austin. I am so grateful for my girlfriend Kelly, who leads us on adventures through our beautiful city! I am so grateful that I know what food makes me feel good! I am so grateful Kelly helps me get motivated to do chores! I am so grateful that Kelly gives me the best massages, I am so so spoiled!

I am so grateful to have a beautiful Nikon D70 that our wonderful friend Charlie gave us as a going away present when we moved from Illinois! I am so grateful to be done writing this post!

Bitin @kellycree’s style: rampage of appreciation #1

2010 August 12

I watched Kelly type her rampage of appreciation and before my eyes SHE HAD TRANSFORMED. She had gone from ho hum to GIDDY AND LAUGHING from writing about what she was appreciating in her life. I had to try it.

I am allowing the universe to bring me what I need. I am letting go of so much resistance in my life. What at first feels like apathy and laziness, I begin to realize is the path to happiness. I am inspired to act, and don’t act unless I am inspired. I am so grateful for all the delicious food I get to eat every day. I love looking at myself in the mirror when I wake up. I love my smile, my hair, my tanned skin & tattoos. I love who I am. I love the creative work I can accomplish when I let inspiration flow through me. I love each and every day, and I love all the amazing sensations that I am witness to. I love the contrast of feeling hungry versus feeling full. I love satisfying my hunger with whatever my body craves. I love not caring about what other people think. I love not giving a SHIT about what other people think. I am only here to make myself happy. I am only here to feel joy. I only do what brings me joy, and I do not act because of what I THINK someone else thinks. I do not know what they think, and I do not care. I am so happy to be in my physical body which does so much for me. My physical body is happy to take all the nourishment I give it and burn it accordingly. I am so energized by all the delicious vegan food I get to eat. My physical body is beautiful, and I admire it each day in every way. I love how it responds to my thoughts. I love how it lets me feel the air, and the ground, and feel the heat and smell the forest. I love what I create for myself every day. I love how I am never bored because I always have something new to create. I love the thoughts that come to me so that I can visually organize them.

I love how I can walk for miles on end and not feel fatigue. I love how I am able to afford all the nourishment I need to live a joyful life. I love how joyful eating makes me feel. I love the anticipation before eating, the feeling of food in my mouth, and the energetic satiety after. I love letting go of caring about bullshit like weight and calories. I love freeing up so much brain power to think about other things, like how good I feel! I love that I am such an excellent cook and can make a yummy vegan meal in no time.

I love that I am focusing on good feelings about my body for the first time in 20 years. I love how I am learning to appreciate the sensations of food being digesting in my stomach. I love that I am learning to like feeling full. I am so happy and grateful that I am able to pivot my thoughts from feelings of dis-ease to feelings of joy and appreciation.

I am so happy that my body tells me exactly what it wants and that it is easy to listen. I am so joyful that I only do things that make my body feel good. I am so happy that eating vegan food makes me feel so good.

I am so looking forward to our walk tonight. I am so grateful to have such a strong body that knows what it needs to feel good. I love that I have learned to interpret my body’s signals. I am so grateful that no matter what I do with my physical body, my mental thoughts are what control it. My emotions are what control my body. I am so joyful to know this and to be able to constantly work my way up the emotional scale. I love this physical body and feel beautiful inside of it.

All that matters is feeling good!
<3

This week, I am so happy & grateful that…

Hugely inspired by Gala Darling’s Things I Love Thursday, I want to make a post about what is wonderful in my life this week! Research shows:

Grateful people are happier, less depressed, less stressed, and more satisfied with their lives and social relationships. Grateful people also have higher levels of control of their environments, personal growth, purpose in life, and self acceptance. Grateful people have more positive ways of coping with the difficulties they experience in life, being more likely to seek support from other people, reinterpreted and grow from the experience, and spend more time planning how to deal with the problem. Grateful people also have less negative coping strategies, being less likely to try to avoid the problem, deny there is a problem, blame themselves, or cope through substance use. Grateful people sleep better, and this seems to be because they think less negative and more positive thoughts just before going to sleep.

This week, I’m so happy & grateful that…

  • My plaid juniors-sized skirt fits again woot! The last time it fit was spring 2009.
  • We were able to get rid of so many possessions when we moved! We have about 75% less stuff now.
  • I took a day off last week to work on my site & get inspired. Time well spent!
  • Mondays are such fresh, new days waiting to be conquered.
me and my toys

My plaid skirt from January 2009 & a bunch of toys that had to go...

  • We’ve moved to a new neighborhood to explore!
  • We have a new friend, Annalise! I met Annalise when I was teaching at University of Illinois & she just recently moved to Austin. We have raw vegan feasts together & keep each other motivated to continue pursuing a healthy lifestyle.
  • Our new place feels exactly like a luxurious hotel!
  • We’re taking the first week of marathon training reeeal easy ;]
  • We are on DAY 26 of our all raw vegan, no alcohol or caffeine challenge! Only two more weeks to go!
  • Speaking of, we’re on DAY 5 of our 10 day water fast! Holy crap, what an experience.
  • My kitty Linty survived the great move of 2010! When we were loading up stuff at our old house, Linty got scared & hid in a suitcase. That suitcase ended up in the moving truck, & we had no idea she was in there! After a huge scare when we went to pick up the cats, I found her all zipped up & safe & sound. Scary!
annalise and our new view

Annalise & our new view down South 1st.

  • Austin has rawsome events like Dr. Ritamarie’s Raw Vegan Potluck
  • My new multicolored pencils came in the mail! These pencils make my Moleskine happy.
  • I get to stay involved with the UT Second Life group, even after my job ends. I love the people I work with, & am excited to see how the year unfolds for the UT campuses that are innovating education in virtual worlds.
  • We’ve been doing little more than lying in bed watching Netflix! Fasting leaves my body pretty weak but my mind is racing, so cuddling in the bed with laptop & entertainment is a perfect fix.
  • We are having a housewarming happy hour on July 30! I will be done with my job, we’ll get to drink & eat cooked food… Bliss!
