Yesterday i quit tobacco, pot and alcohol.
Yesterday i began The Presence Process again.

**I Am Here Now In This**

Today I got up about 2 hours earlier than i have been lately.
Today i sat in the mat for 15 minutes to do The Presence Process meditation (it's been too long since i sat regularly - probably since December!)
Today i did ten push-ups
Today i drunk some of my urine (i'll write more about this perfect #naturalmedicine another time)

**This Moment Matters**

For those who don't know, there's a small group who are beginning The Presence Process Procedure together (starting on the same day, or perhaps a week later to give time to read the instructions). You can read more about it in [this post](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@atma.love/the-presence-process-a-journey-into-the-unknown) and [this post](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@atma.love/join-us-on-an-emotional-integration-journey-begins-14th-march).

Those who have indicated they may well join this ten week self-facilitated emotional integration procedure are:
Myself @ atma.love, @ khing.khong @ littlehyper-nm @ riverflows @ trucklife-family, @ holisticmom, @ jaytaylor, @ awakening.soul, @ mountainhigh, @ lio.ness, @ khing.khong's sister and possibly two friends. I know that @ awakening.soul and @ mountainhigh have only just got the audio book so it may be a week or so before they begin.

In the first of the posts linked to above, there is a link for a slightly older version of The Presence Process. In the latest version there are a few slight changes, so i will list them below for those who don't have the newest version.

- The Conscious Response to be used for the morning and evening sessions for the entire ten weeks is:
**I Am Here Now In This** (as opposed to *I Am Here Now* in the older version).

- The Conscious Response to be used during the day (Week One only) whenever remembering (but not for the morning and evening sittings) is:
**This Moment Matters** (as opposed to *This Moment is Valid* in the older version).

Most of the weekly Conscious responses have not changed, but i will make a weekly post (tagging you if you've indicated you are joining us) with any differences. Feel free to ask in comments in case i forget.

So, there were several times yesterday and today so far when i noticed the urge to smoke, then the urge to move toward food instead. When i was aware enough not to indulge to food impulse, i connected my breath and (internally) repeated this weeks conscious response **This Moment Matters**. 

My intentions for doing The Presence Process Procedure again include 
- to be more aware when urges to engage in addictive behaviour arise and to make better choices to keep this body mind more pure,
- to be more aware of the present moment for more of the day. 


So, how are you feeling? Any challenges? Any questions?  Feel free to comment below (or make your own post - tag me if you do please).

Namaste
