Today was a wonderful
day. I had been planning to write a new blog post. Yet, before going to bed the
previous night I “ordered” a healing dream and asked to help make my next
day such as to move me in the direction most beneficial for me.
Not even remembering
that I’d asked for this I started my day – still planning to write the new
post.
But then resurfaced
ideas about selling on etsy, scanning drawings and other art related things. I
got new ideas that might be my next steps in creative land. Also – I found solutions
to technical problems I’ve had for a long time.
Other suggestions I
make before going to sleep: “I’ll wake up refreshed, full of energy – before
the alarm clock”. This works fine – I do wake up before the alarm clock, but
unless I am going to the city, it’s been difficult to actually get up as soon
as I am awake. I’d welcome any useful tricks in this area. Let me know if you’ve
discovered any. The only one I know so far is when I need to do something for
my husband. Then I jump out of bed immediately.
An
anonymous quote I came across: “God has 3 answers to
your prayers: Yes/Not yet/I have something better in mind”.
On
Another Note
Centuries ago we used
to trust and turn attentive heart and ear to ourselves, but then we largely
stopped. We switched to our elders, books written by others, scientists and
doctors. We started thinking, “They will give all the answers, they will know
what to do”. Listening to myself more than to any other person alive is the way
to go for me – now. Others can be of help – but each step needs my personal sincere approval.
The
importance of telling yourself often “I did it eventually”
Less pressing yourself
to do things – more noticing – what you feel like doing today – from your
weekly/monthly list. Inserting now and then things from your ‘Have to’ list.
It is better than
repeating ‘I haven’t started the book, the blog, the laundry, and so on’.
“I did it eventually”.
Beautiful
World
There is a piano in the
hall of the Amsterdam train station. The sign on the floor says “Show your
talent”. Anyone who feels like playing can sit down and play. While I was
there, a young man, and then – a young woman played something to make me stop.
The photo - is of my great grandmother. One of my favorites.
