Shoo Shoo

I’m wasting my time reading stuff about friends or people in general on the internet or FB. There’s no point reading all that stuff, tho it’s relaxing in a way it also has a downside to it besides lost time. I’ve decided that whilst I’m enjoying time off from having to look for a new project, I should be using this period to clean out boxes and throw away stuff I no longer want or need in my life.

I’ve forgotten to get rid of clutter and people, so it’s time that I’d practise some more. It’s rewarding… The weird thing is that whenever I clean out the old, new stuff comes in at an even faster rate. Good new stuff tho but still. I’ve been listening to NLP CDs again, lessons that helped me reach my goal a few years ago when I’d moved back to NL and had to start from scratch.

These CDs tell me lots of valuable info on how to organise your brain so that whatever it is you wish for will happen. It’s about clutter in your life, wrong people, attitude, belief and that you need to surround yourself with those who are positive, supportive and encouraging. Those who add to the creative flow instead of taking from it only. So I guess that’s why I’m in this modus once again.

I’ve found a way to make my new plans work, but in order to achieve this I will certainly have to make room to make this happen *literally*! I should stop reading about others because -according to science reports- reading about others on FB is not a healthy thing to do. It leads to comparison which leads to having feelings of unhappiness and in the worst case, resentment and/or jealousy.

I’m not jealous, I do feel like it’s a waste of time though so I’ve stopped the habit. Instead I’ve started cleaning out boxes and throwing out things I don’t need. Space… I need space in my head and in my life. I’m working on furniture projects this time which is awesome and fun. A start of something bigger along with the jewellery designs. So more energy should flow into that direction!

Whilst I’m thinking about how to decorate the furniture using really cool techniques, I’m also thinking about how to finish the necklace that I’ve designed. So far I’ve had amazing reactions. People who are eager to see the finished items. So there it is: whilst I still have time, I should clean out and once that’s done there will be energy ready to finish what I like to do most!

I’m on a high ;) so I guess I should continue cleaning out those boxes and tonight I’ll be working on cutting out Asian patterns out of paper to decorate the furniture with. Yes I know I sound vague, that’s because it’s an evolving idea and whilst typing this I feel the urge to stop the writing and finish what I should be finishing *hehe*. So I’m gonna stop writing this post now :D

Bogged Down

I seriously need to get stuff out of my system soon. This month is dragging me down knowing what is waiting ahead of me. All sorts of unfinished business. My contract with the government ends so I need to look for new projects. I have so much admin stuff that has built up over the last couple of weeks which needs sorting. Plus there’s some things I need to think about…

I mean really think about. I’m currently not in a happy place and trying hard to make the best of it but I’m so in need of some time off so I can work on my jewellery project. I ordered some things which came in last week but I have not had a chance to use it. Working on the jewellery is like meditation to me. And I’ve got soulsearching to do and think about forgiving someone.

I’m not sure if I can deal with this tho. I’m feeling kind of empty at the moment. Being creative and in meditational mode might help finding myself again. Although I’ve noticed that when I’m sad I can’t create stuff. I need to be happy in order to make beautiful things or come up with great ideas. I need to be inspired. Right now I’m lacking the energy because of this confrontation.

I wrote a letter to get things off my chest. I’ve asked to let me be for a while until damage is healed again and if it doesn’t heal than I’m going to draw a line. I’m getting things to change around here. I’m going to change myself and my perception. It’s once again time to do so but somehow I get bogged down by circumstances. I can’t change those but I can change myself!

Focus is all that is needed. I’m gonna do this.
