There are plenty of people in many, many performing arts (as well as sports) who will affirm that vehemently. The way you think directly affects who you are and what fruit you bear. <BR/><BR/>My husband is a powerful example of this. He has recently begun to meditate daily, and make conscious decisions about his mental reactions to life. He has always been a hyper-efficient, thinking twelve steps ahead, rather high-strung type. And since he has started consciously deciding how to manage his thoughts, etc., he is a new man. It's wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Although, your way-off day might be more a function of poor blood flow to your head (or other headache-related physical stress), than negative thinking, negative thoughts and emotions can only compound whatever problems are around.Annaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964274663555911996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-4778436879844252532008-01-10T18:48:00.000-08:002008-01-10T18:48:00.000-08:00My best remedy for migraines is a Diet Coke and 2 ...My best remedy for migraines is a Diet Coke and 2 Goody or BC powders.

Christmas is over, the ground is hard/cold/soggy/brown, the pocketbook is slim and the sun is acting shy. You should go to a spa and cook for a while in an infrared sauna. Seriously. Even HRH Tony H. says so.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261271864837959598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-85969522028933086042008-01-10T14:20:00.000-08:002008-01-10T14:20:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261271864837959598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-77667850716320302482008-01-10T14:18:00.000-08:002008-01-10T14:18:00.000-08:00As someone who knows the joys of glasses and only ...As someone who knows the joys of glasses and only being able to afford one working pair at a time let me just say -- oh no!! That is so sucky. Have you had your eyes tested lately? When I start getting groups of headaches I usually know it's time for an eye-test.<BR/><BR/>Can we affect our lives with how we feel? YES!! Living with a condition that is totally affected by stress, I am learning what a bizarre ability our mind has to mess with us. Especially when we have expectations of ourselves and our performances/abilities.<BR/><BR/>I second Brenda. A good massage would be a good thing, and maybe some relaxation techniques -- whatever type works for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34819224.post-20980689650274990312008-01-10T14:08:00.000-08:002008-01-10T14:08:00.000-08:00I do have days where I can't seem to hold onto any...I do have days where I can't seem to hold onto anything - where everything flies out of my grip, but I was putting those down to approaching arthritis or some kind neurological kink. <BR/><BR/>No wonder you have a headache.

I can't say how many times I've worked for hours on something only to discover it's the wrong color, wrong pattern, etc. I hate that!<BR/><BR/>Too bad about the headaches. Too much reading, close work? Or maybe you just need a massage. :) I swear by them.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300295291563304946noreply@blogger.com
