Riding The Tidal Wave

Posted on by

A friend and I were discussing life in general in an email the other day and noticed that we both seem to have some kind of energy flow going on in our lives. A flow that’s rising and falling like a tidal wave, one moment it can be steady and quiet, the next it becomes this huge wave crushing everything that gets in the way.

Right now there is such an immense change going on that I can feel the energy rushing through each and every aspect of my life. It feels strange in a way, even scary at times but I’m trying to hold on to this feeling and accept it as it is. There’s no point trying to go against it -even if I wanted to- because I’d drown for sure.

I think I might have fought it if this would’ve happened a few weeks ago but I feel so ready this time that I’m allowing things to happen. Today I received a really nice email and if all goes well I might have reasons to have a celebration after the summer break. I can feel it in my gut that I’m about to get the long expected break.

Today is a happy day and I’m grateful for all the new opportunities that have been presented to me over the last two weeks. I feel that energy rushing and I’m finally ready to cling on to it and go with the flow. Change can be amazingly powerful if you let it and once you can, it comes with such a great unexpected force!

I don’t think I could ever go back to the person I was before if I wanted to, but I don’t want to. I’m happy with my newly found strength and like I mentioned in my previous post, it all started to bear fruit, in my social life and in business. It’s hard to put that kind of gratitude in words because I don’t think it could be described very well…

I’ve decided to go on a strict health regime starting this Friday when I will register at the gym. I’m planning on getting up early each morning, exercise for an hour and a half, go home and start my day properly. Since I’ve started the courses almost six weeks ago I’ve built up this daily rhythm that I’d like to continue.

Tomorrow will be my last day at the course and I will truly miss the people that I’ve met there. Twelve different people, different in age, culture and social background but each of them has taught me something that I will treasure for the rest of my life. There were serious times and there was lots of fun and laughter.

I will continue my quest though because I’ll have another three months to work on my career change and dream job while I’m being coached by a really nice woman whom I’ve met last week. More self-exploration and hopefully more insight, to discover the small steps that I’ll need to take in order to reach my goal.

I’ve also been extremely creative lately, I’ve sketched a lot and I’ve been working on my painting. I’m having a great time using acrylics and developing my own technique. I’ve been very active on FB as well but I should be careful because it can be time-consuming especially when certain friends show a special interest…

Anyway… I’m all energetic and happy so if I become quiet again on here, it’s because I’m enjoying this energy the best I can!

I Choose To

Posted on by

Oh how peaceful and quiet this blog will be again… I’m trying to regulate traffic: I’d one post still that attracted lots of traffic because it was directly linked to an experiment I took part in two years ago. I’ve moved that post to the blog on my business website, so traffic will be redirected to the proper source from the website it was linked to. I like my peace and quiet especially when I feel that what I write is too personal to share with certain people *wink*. Although I often choose to keep that to myself anyway…

I’m getting rid of links to the past because I want to start with a clean slate and live in the ‘now’. No more referring to and living in the past, I’m through with that and it’s about time that things are put away in the drawers since it’s all unnecessary ballast that I no-longer wish to carry around with me. Been busy last week and there’s still more stuff in the pipeline that I can’t tell about yet but whenever I had a moment I’d been reading my ebook -and listening to its audio version at the same time- while taking notes.

It’s extremely helpful but it’s a bit of a project… one not to be taken lightly… It’s necessary to write a proper plan and think about certain issues and subjects while trying -at the same time- to reprogram your mind and your way of thinking. And if those ways and convictions have been engrained for donkey years than it’s quite the challenge trying to change that. But… I noticed that it works: it makes me feel great if I manage to struggle through another chapter, writing down what I choose/want to remember.

Today I need to wish to update my folio and convert it to a pdf file so I can send it out. And I have to would like to write a letter as well. See how I still make the same mistakes? I don’t have to do anything: I choose to do something *wink* That’s the kind of thing this book teaches you and it feels kind of liberating if you succeed in making these ‘simple’ changes because somehow you can feel the weight being lifted of your shoulders… I like this approach and I guess it’s what I need in my life right now…

I -once again- had to deal with a few disappointments last week (when do I get that well-deserved break? *raising hands to heaven*) but I’m not giving up… far from it… So I’m off again because spring is here, the sun is shining, gorgeous spring flowers like Snowdrops (my favourite) poke their heads above the ground and it lifts my spirit. And while I’m in this mood, I’d like to design a new pdf folio, write a letter and make a follow-up call later today about a new exciting project…

p.s. I’m not around much these days so it might take a bit longer for me to reply to emails or comments…
