It is all about slowing down, taking time for yourself and establishing new habits that will last a lifetime.
Moving Stuck Energy
Did you notice any energy lifting or shifting?
What did you think about the idea of not judging yourself?
Overall, I have found this week a little frustrating. I have continued to do the exercises already learnt and have added the news one from this week but, and here’s the rub, I don’t seem to be able to see any concrete improvement in the way I look at things. My cupboards are gradually becoming tidier, I have less clutter about the place (not that I was very untidy to start with) and things are, in theory less cluttered but if asked to put my finger on why I would not be able to pin it down to anything.
As to the questions, well I just don’t know how to answer them. I can’t really say I have noticed any shifting of energies because I have not been looking to see if there were and as to the idea of judging myself, that I think is going to be open for debate for a long time. I am, by nature very critical of myself in general. I like things to not just be okay but to be perfect, which is why I am a stickler for details. If I do something wrong when I am knitting then the whole thing has to be taken back to either where the fault was, or right back to the beginning so I start again, and it doesn’t matter how much work or time has gone into it so far, if it is not right then it has to be done again. This attention to detail makes watching TV and films a nightmare because I notice continuity errors and if there are too many I lose interest and simply will not watch. So, to not be self-judgemental is not in my nature, which to be honest is a good thing when it comes to creative writing and teaching as I not only want to always give the best but also inspire the best from others.
One calendar month is not very long to change habits of a lifetime, so maybe I am being a little too hard on myself.
Things have changed. I have started not holding on to things simply because others expect me to. I have established routines by which to start my morning, which includes my daily forage into this course and I have started to take a little more time for me. All these things have been undertaken in just 28 days … so not bad really, I suppose.
