Me and the blur

[april]

Hi everyone,
I haven't been wearing my glasses at all ,except for driving for sometime now.Suddenly today I was in my house and I put them on.I then looked around,almost surprised:what a beautiful house this is!I then realised how much I have missed seeing things, all those beautiful details..It felt like I had been living in isolation for some time, in a place where there is only me,my thoughts, and ..."the blur".

It is a bit discouraging,especially since my vision hasn't been improving.At first I thought "I am missing all the pretty things the others are seeing"

But then I thought,well this is how I trully "see" things: there is only myself, and a blur.. in my world.

Since I am going through a slight loss of enthousiasm...I'd love to hear any success any of you may be having with your eyesight!

love,
april

P.s.
Of course,when I put my glasses on I also saw how dirty the floor was..and that was a another good reason to take them off again

Hi April,

I just wanted to let ya know that I felt the same way back in July. I had been w/ out glasses or contacts for like 2 weeks, then I went to FL for a week.

During all this time I had been opening up more and more....being myself more openly. It FELT good, but I still didn't see things very clearly; but then again....I wasn't doing the eye exercises much at all. I DID do the affirmations, though.

Anyways, while I was in FL I really started to miss seeing things. The ocean, the blue sky, the clouds. Not only that, but I started to feel as if I was going further and further into my own little world all by myself. It started getting harder than it already is for me to talk to people. So I gave in, and put my contacts in.

I think that if I'm gonna get some good results, I'm going to have to do this gradually with weaker prescriptions. It's called progressive undercorrection. That way I can still put contacts in to drive w/out regressing in my progress. Maybe that would work for you better also.

Anyways, jus thought I'd share my exp. w/ ya.

Namaste

hi michael,

thanks a lot for sharing your experience!

It helps to know that you felt something similar. Gradual change is perhaps what I must accept for myself as well.I am realising that I move slower than I thought I would, that I don't accept big changes easily!(I can accept them for others but not for myself)

That is something I didn't know about me, but it's ok!I know I will have good results, but I have to respect my pace!

Thank you for answering michael!
love,
april

Would this be a common character trait among people with vision problems?
I admire people who make a decision and dramatically change their lives and everything works out for them. But I am afraid of change. I read all about it, I talk all about it but action is a scary 6 letter word. I make a small change for a while don't notice much result so give up and then start on some other area of my life and do the same.
I had changed to weaker prescription glasses and although I couldn't see everything 200% I could see plenty. But then one day my brother came to visit and I put on my stronger glasses. I thought at the time I could see any accidents the children might have before they happened and be fit to stop them, I knew this was ridiculous but that was my conscious thinking. Later I thought I had used the glasses to protect myself from something and because I was angry at the extra caregiving I had to do and could see I'd have to do that day. That was 2 months ago and I knew my brother didn't look well that day. He kept talking about not being able to get up the stairs. I recommended a chiropractor as he said it was his back. I recall saying that it couldn,t be his back preventing him from moving his legs to go upstairs. 2 weeks ago he finally gave in to the pain in his back and went to get it checked out. The chiropractor found something in his neck on the cervical spine and referred him to a doctor to request a MRI scan.
My eyesight first deteriorated when my mum was diagnosed with cancer. My brother hasn't had his scan yet and doesn't want to face this. I felt safer behind the glasses the day he visited. Did I unconsciously pick up something that I don't want to look at and then retreat behind my thicker glasses again?

Sounds like you were indeed insecure about something.
