These last few weeks have been amazing to say the least. But I was learning to see the shapes and some of the colors….

And then, Tuesday, I know that my patients and coworkers, if they heard me might have thought I was losing my mind. I started seeing every shape and color that we have been using.

And All I could do was giggle more every time I saw another one. It truly felt like something good had happened. And now I am seeing them everywhere. I guess it just took a little bit of time for things to start shifting.

The mental diet is going well most of the time. Today I had a point when the old blueprint was trying hard to take over and I just kept telling myself, “Positive thoughts, Traci Positive thoughts.”

I do feel like it paid off, along with smiling. I had a coworker laugh at me today because she said the look on my face was priceless. She knew what had just taken place but she said she could tell I was trying hard to stay positive and focused.

With that being said, sometimes people can really make it hard to do what I need to. However, I will greet this day with love in my heart, and love all who I come in contact with and even love them when I think they are wrong.

I love the scroll we are on right now. I am someone that has always tried to show the love of Christ to everyone I come in contact with, but reading this aloud and three times a day helps me to know that I am doing it.

It’s helped me to have the backbone to keep doing it.

With all of the exercises we do in this course. My friends are noticing things changing. I wasn’t sure how they would react to everything that is changing in me, but they tell me they see good things.

I just know that my visions of what I want have become more and more strong. I am excited about what the future holds!

  • Thank you for this! Sometimes I see shapes and giggle too. Or the best is when I am in a conversation and say something like “I always keep my promises” and I get a huge grin. We never know when the MKE system will start seeping in, but as it does, life is more interesting for sure.

  • What an incredible and inspiring update, Tracy! Reading about you giggling as you see the shapes and colors everywhere gave me chills. That’s not losing your mind—that’s finding a new, wonderful reality! Your commitment to the mental diet, even when the old blueprint fights back, is so powerful. “Positive thoughts, Traci, Positive thoughts” is a mantra we could all use.
