Congrats! That must be a great lifestyle - does it mean you have 7mnths 'off' per year? And nice to have two places to live, two groups of people to interact with, and the opportunity to lead a diversified life. Are the two cities far apart?
Quoting: Parabola Almost 7 months off yes, but i do some work occasionally here and there during these months. And yes i have two groups of people to interact with, so the time i started standing up for my beliefs and state them all over the place everywhere and anywhere was when i just started working again. This was planned weeks before i left for work, something i just had to do ^^ Breaking a cycle in a way and starting a new one.
And its about 5 hours between the cities but i work so much that i hardly have time to go ^^
You are right about the importance of learning how to become better at the process, and how the right mindset can take you a long way, while the wrong one can greatly impede progress. I think that process will continue to evolve for me throughout life- something I am excited about.
Quoting: Parabola I like your way of explainin this but i just want to add one very important part. And basically i just want to say that when you choose the wrong mindset you can be able to spot this. Find the inner inner feeling, its always right. You will feel your wrong mindsets if you just look for them.. If things/situations/accidents happen more than once you have yourself a new pattern. Spot the patterns, and remove the ones you dont like or cant relate to.
Awareness is a key word, and living in the now, its here you will spot these mindsets and patterns.
I think sometimes things can be very hard, no matter how you look at them. But maybe in these cases, belief in oneself, and belief in progress (though not always easy, because of experience, for example) will help you overcome the challenges. And when empowered with these tools, it does become easier to seek what you want.
Quoting: Parabola Some things will always be hard, but the key is how long you keep letting each incident/action that was hard effect you. All things are different, and some things are harder than others, but all cases can be cured.
The reason its so hard is the world around us, a cold world with people who have lost their abillity of emphaty.
Theres lots of interesting study on the emphaty genes.
Perception is the trigger behind all of this =)
Fear is a broad term, and manifests itself in so many different ways - sometimes hard to identify. You know, I haven't brought this up on GLP, but these discussion of fear hit home for me because I struggle with PTSD, and have for about four years. At the roots of the symptoms of PTSD are anxiety and panic - both driven by fear responses. I share that to let you know that your threads help maybe in ways you hadn't intended, and to share with others who might be battling similar plights. All of these discussions of overcoming fear have helped me explore my 'triggers' and responses more deeply, and have helped me shed them, as I hope they do for others too.
Quoting: Parabola Very impressive of you to go out and say it out loud. Its an very important step, its the same here as with all others fears, first step is always admitting, speaking out about it =) You might have done this before, but to do it here just shows you are honest about it, which is sooo important. You are becoming aware more and more, the more ways you react/interact around/with it =) Maybe a hard sentence to grasp hehe ^^
Anyways i have read a lot about ptsd (on norwegiann *cough*), hehe and i just want to give you one good tip which i have read over and over that has helped with people with the same condition. Now you kinda ruined it already by telling me that you are 30 and have moved 30 times but i just want to ask you, do you like dogs?
Dogs are true love, they love you from the bottom of their heart. They are pure love, always, they are always there to listen.
Now i dont say this because im a big big dog lover, i just say that if you learn how to interact with a dog, learn to know him as a spirit, then his good energies can heal you in great ways. By interact i mean understand his behaviour, learn to know his body language, know to react to it the way he wants you to. Almost become a ghost whisper like the guy on tv hehe, and well, the dog will heal you =)
If it will help for all problems, doubt it, but people become stronger, way way stronger, and the stronger you are the easier other things are as well =)
Also like i said in the earlier reply try to do something crazy you would normally not do every now and then =) And your perception is the decider of whats crazy, just challenge yourself in places you dare to do it.
Thats the best advice i have, and ps i know you didnt ask :P
And thanks for the encouraging words, i just want to say that this is very much intended and this is why im here on this forum =) But im sure i dont understand half of the perceptions of what i write^^ But i will not change subjects on this forum i will continue to do this for quite some more months before i have to work again ^^ I know you cant see it, atleast not the way i do it, but the world is really waking up to their fears right now =) I see it, and i feel it with every bone in my body.
It might get worse before it gets good, but everything will become easier and better at some point, and i know you dont think the world is that crazy and all, i just want you to remember these words, one day in the future :P
The head will only wander like that if you are thinking about the right things, the things that is important or interesting to you, its based on the inner feeling ^^
Enough love propaganda now, hehe but yeah, thanks rightbackatya =) You fuel me also sometimes!
