The Dining Room.
Our dining room is a mess... An honest-to-goodness disaster area. I hate it. I hate sitting in it. I don't feel at home eating in it. I hate looking at it. I hate the energy I feel from it. I was journaling the other day, like I do. Every single day I try to write … Continue reading The Dining Room.
Sleep.
Life hasn't been smooth-sailing lately. I have been quietly wading through a trough in my depression/anxiety experience these past few weeks. I'm grateful for recovering, however slowly. I'm also extremely grateful for the new insights I've had this time around. It's amazing what a look at the basics will yield... a good honest look at … Continue reading Sleep.
Save Yourself.
Save a part of yourself for yourself. Always. You don't have to give every single ounce of yourself away. I once lived under the delusion that I owed everybody everything. I gave 1000% of my effort, energy, and attention to everything because I thought I was only as good as what I gave to the … Continue reading Save Yourself.
The New Moon.
I've started paying attention to the Moon Phases in the past couple of years. It's amazing what a difference tracking the Moon makes when you look at cycles of energy expansion and contraction. The idea is that in the time between the New Moon and the Full Moon, energy expands as the Moon waxes, and … Continue reading The New Moon.
Doubt.
"How can I share my gifts with the world? *Live my experience and write.* Spin, spin, spin. "I'm not a writer." Spin, spin, spin. "I'm a terrible example of how to live a successful life." Spin, spin, spin. "Maybe this means I need to..." Spin, spin, spin... *The fact that this is being pondered so … Continue reading Doubt.
Feel No Evil.
I am the Queen of Avoidance. I say this not as a brag or a proclamation of my greatness, but as a description of the hereditary and culturally upheld nature of this trait. When I was growing up, there was a familiar refrain "ignore it and it will go away." Variations of this included "don't … Continue reading Feel No Evil.
So… What Do I Want?
You can have whatever or be whatever you want. That's cool. So... What do I want? I have struggled with that question for so much of my life, but I know the truth of it is that I did not struggle when I was young. Very young. I grew up with several siblings. I remember … Continue reading So… What Do I Want?
Drop Your Story.
Or put it down gently. I really don't know how well it's serving you. What I do know is that carrying around that story is limiting you. It's the story we default to when something goes wrong. "I do it because that's how I was raised." "It's a habit." "It's what I've always done." "It … Continue reading Drop Your Story.
The Path of Least Resistance.
Many people are drawn to the idea of the path of least resistance. They want the diet that tells them what to eat and gets them results. They want the religion that tells them the way to live to get into paradise. They want the good leader who tells them what to do and takes … Continue reading The Path of Least Resistance.
