Some weeks ago, I thought it would be good to restart doing the eye exercises. I even downloaded some others (I even paid for some of them!!!) to be sure I would get the suggestions needed. I got some tips, I really did, but now the days pass, and all I notice is an extreme resistance to doing the exercises. I think it's also a resistance to engaging in a "duty", as I think of it as a duty when I'm to use about half an hour every day to do the exercises.
Lately I've noticed in your answers, Martin, how you talk about BELIEFS. Maybe I have a belief about duties or exercises...
I know it's possible to find the time to do the exercises, but I'm like a kid saying it's too boring... And I don't get organized to actually doing the exercises.
I just wanted to write about my resistance, to see if that will shed some light on the subject or relieve me of the "why can't I just DO it?" thinking. I want to go from the thought of doing it to actually doing it. Something stops me, and I'm not sure what. Probably fear. Fear of not being good enough. Fear for not "getting there"/not succeeding. Or is it the fear of actually succeeding? If I succeed in opening my eyes, I will have to be stronger than I feel I am, I will have to face those who have done wrong to me and not let them get away... oooh, that's a cost.... I'll sleep on this... Thanks for "listening".

Perhaps it's just that it seems like medicine to you.
Anyway, as long as you continue to ask yourself these questions, you continue to not do the exercises.
If you think they might do some good, you have to just commit to doing them, and insist on honoring your commitment. Remove the resistance to doing your "homework."
...or decide that your improvement will have to happen another way. Do the guided meditations without the eye exercises. Come to a vision weekend. There is always another way.

Hello Martin and Queen, Martin wrote: "...or decide that your improvement will have to happen another way. Do the guided meditations without the eye exercises. Come to a vision weekend. There is always another way." Very good! I noticed about myself that I say I would do anything to improve my vision but when faced with the reality of it I tended to change that thought to "I would do anything to improve my vision, anything but that" which leads me to "how much do I want my eyesight to improve, if I'm not prepared to do whatever it takes? Have I been more of a talker than a doer until now? I did do the program once for 2 months but wasn't great at leaving my glasses off, and really resisted the "Do nothing" exercise. So why have I not been giving myself wholeheartedly with 100% or almost 100% commitment, if I say its the most important thing to me ever? Have I got a hidden agenda? So what I need to do is take action, and stop thinking and talking about it, and just do it. Alice
