Happy Book

Posted on by

Who would’ve thought that one simple question could cause such a stir? I’ve been trying to figure out the answer but it seems to trigger a lot more than I could possibly imagine. So I’ve decided to start another what I call ‘Happy Book’ and dug out one of my many gorgeous notebooks so I could start with a clean slate and lotsa blank pages.

I’ve chosen the bigger version of the Moleskine notebook that I normally carry with me in my handbag. It was a birthday gift and I had put it away in one of my house moving boxes knowing that one day it would be useful for a certain project. I intend to cut out pictures and glue them on the still empty pages along with notes that I’ll jot down.

The questions that started all this were: ‘what do you want in your life…’ ‘what is your goal…’ whilst following a method to ‘reprogram the mind’: picture yourself in the new situation as if it is a present one, not a future version. But I have so many goals and/or wishes that in order to make them real I need to put some kind of structure in the chaos.

Because of this I needed to start a new ‘Happy Book’… this way I can reorganise my thoughts by organising clippings, sketches and written affirmations. While working on this I suddenly realised that this might take a bit longer and might need a bit more effort and hard work than I first thought but ‘the plan’ is going to be a great one…

Mark my words! *wink*

New Approach

Posted on by

I’ve repeatedly listened to parts of an audio book each night before falling asleep, it has been extremely interesting so far and I can’t seem to get it out of my mind since I’m thinking about its message all day long. I’m preparing today for an interview tomorrow morning at 09.00, who would’ve thought people would be ready for an interview first thing on Monday morning?

I thought they’d need to exchange weekend experiences first with their morning coffee? Not that I mind but 09.00 on a Monday morning seems strange to me. Anyway: this interview is part of the ‘new’ plan. The book is teaching me to have a different approach in life, to make things happen, to create your life the way you want it… I know… it all sounds too ‘new age’…

But it isn’t really, it’s based on logic, psychology and scientifically proven facts and the things that are said actually do make sense. So today I’m focusing on the new approach and in a few minutes after I’ve finished this post I will start to write down my plan… I have to admit it’s kinda exciting and scary in a way because you’ll have to face your ‘demons’ big time.

A lot became clear to me while listening to the book and I’m determined to try this new approach and make my quest work for me. It’s going to be an interesting journey from here and it will definitely show me some odd angles, it already has but they finally start to make sense and I can finally see why I made certain choices in the past or why I didn’t.

I no longer will be able to procrastinate or look for reasons why I believe I can’t do certain things, coz I can(!) it ‘just’ takes a new way of thinking… It already scares the hell out of me but that’s just another excuse to procrastinate *hehe*. Oh yes your mind is very good at tricking you right back into your easy comfort zone so you won’t have to face the issues…

Off now to prepare myself *wink*

Update Monday 15:18:56: the interview went really well but the funny bit was that both people opposite of me complained about the fact that they had to interview someone at 09.00 on a Monday morning and even mentioned the fact that that was a first to them *LOL* To me as well btw. I’m struggling with the plan, perhaps I’ll write more about this later… I need to answer certain questions that make me think… Deeper than usal and that is already pretty deep *wink*.
