How to Be a Guinea Pig

So, on the heels of that 'practical application' post, a few interesting things happened.

One was that a woman walked into my office, shortly after publication, seemingly needing eveything I had to offer. She needed some help getting her life and health back on track - I had a wellness program thingy to flesh out, and viola! a beautiful partnership was born.

Being a scientist, she's quite familiar with the guinea pig idea, and therefore was quite willing to be my first case study.

More on that as it progresses.

The other 'thunk on the head' I got was that, hey, couldn't I be my own study? I mean, I have stuff I'd like to work on, I have some beliefs that the work I offer could help, and if I'm asking people to participate, shouldn't I be doing this, too?

So, what follows, in writing, is my stated intention to commit to my rough draft of a program.

For twelve weeks, I'm going to partake of shiatsu, exercises and a macrobiotically-inspired diet to address some nagging stuff that's been bothering me. And give weekly updates about my progress on my blog. I'm thinking Fridays.

Nothing like accountability, right?

So, tomorrow or Thursday, look for a post outlining some specific issues I'm hoping to work on, and a rough outline of what I'll be doing. I expect challenges and setbacks and tweaking and all of that, but hopefully, I'll have a good idea of what I can offer to folks who would like to work with me in the same vein, as well as some reality to go with it.

It's time.
