Realisation: The Hidden Benefit of Wearing Heels

So it's Winter and I look around and see all these crazy young girls (and women) wearing mini skirts and tights and barefoot ballet slippers and shivering in the cold...all Fashion Victims!

Meanwhile on cold days I am draped in a coat that could also double as a single bed blanket haha...I'm a fashion victim too- a victim of Practical fashion!

In any case because it has been unusually cold and wind ice chill lately, I've gotten out the boots...the thing is due to a former incarnation in the corporate world my boots have heels so that the nice pants don't drag on the floor...

Since my accident I haven't worn heels much but now I'm regularly back in them due to the cold, I realise Heels have a really rather useful hidden benefit!

Basically what I've noticed is that wearing high heels are Very Grounding especially if you actually walk in them all day...basically you can really feel the earth and the ground connecting under your feet. The Chinese Med view on this is that it is stimulating your Kidney1 point which lies on the sole of the foot basically in the centre of the crease that forms if you flex your toes forward... vertically it is on a line with the line between your second and third toes a little less than a third of the way horizontally up your foot...okay now you understand why point location can be a little challenging with or without scientific terminology!

In any case this point is very effective for bringing ones energies down and "grounding"- I've found this a most effective point (from guinea pig revelations) to target reiki into especially with people who have way too much happening in their heads. Massage is also great either do it yourself or if you're lucky your hubby/partner can do it for you :) Mmmm...Foot Massage that's what every hardworking woman deserves!!

What I'm feeling happy about: Real Friends.

I'm feeling really contented since I "friend culled" :)

For too long I've been used and abused. I've always been the friend for the person in need- the one to fill the void until they find their partner to fill that void, the one that people go to when they have problems but forget about when everything's fine, the one that's true value was more in being padding to make the other party look "popular" especially once a year on their birthdays :P. At the same time at the first sign of when I've needed help or have been in trouble, these pseudo friends suddenly did an impressive disappearing act or even more blatantly started running the opposite direction!

I've had it with pseudo one sided friendships...and people who just Take Take Take, So it is with Enormous Satisfaction as I get more and more certain with each passing day about life direction and how I want my life to be I cut out the dead wood and ditch the psuedo friends...I'm so glad I am no longer investing my precious time and energies on these slackers and am able to redirect this energy into people and ventures that ARE worthwhile! :)

At the end of the day though, the bottom line is, people can only use and abuse you for as long as you allow them to...so if you have loads of slacker friends- my advice is bid them Good Riddance and you'll feel better for it, I promise :)

I Love Liberation :)

Tee Hee...these types of men make me LAUGH!!!

You know the types I'm talking about- the people who were born Adonises and KNOW IT ie: they feel they're doing you a favour when you open your eyes and have them in your presence rather than the short stumpy dude with bad acne who sits in the corner and hangs his head so that nobody will notice his acne is especially embarrassingly bad today...

I'm not denying that some of these people aren't attractive...just their self-adoration is SO BLATANT and OVERT that you can almost hear that voice in their heads on repeat saying "Im so Hot I'm so Hot I'm so Hot"....people like this crack me up!!! I find it genuinely Hi-Lar-Ious!!! Surely, they could exercise a bit more restraint, humility, grace - at least in public...

Lucky that Smart Girls ;) don't get suckered in by men like this especially when they don't have the mind and heart to back it up!!!
