Creating space, preventing burnout and standing up for myself
"The go go go attitude"
Jumping in the midst of fear is important sometimes to live life without regrets. Life can be challenging. Sometimes I feel when we only push ourselves do we understand our limits. Furthermore we understand the meaning of life and the people around us on another level. On a day to day basis we may never stop to think what are we doing etc etc. I think it is important to stop and think about life. It’s also important to make life fun and creative without making it repetitive and mundane where possible. This is a hard thing with the stereotypical life construct, of the wake up and “the go go go attitude”. It’s hard to snap out of this. The more variable the day and life is the better for mental health and well being. We can create the life we want if we want to. However small that step is, one small step is a starting point.
Belief and magic
Life is about having faith not just in ourselves but in our surroundings. It’s surprising how a different atmosphere such as being with a different person , or being in a different place can change the way you feel . I’m talking about vibes here, people vibes and environmental vibes . It is powerful stuff . I have written about this in previous blogs too. I guess it’s an important one for me.
Confidence
Where does this actually come from? It’s an inner deep vibe that transcends itself. It is about walking the life that we believe that gives us more confidence than doing something with no purpose. A purpose driven life keeps me going. Small steps in the right direction help build the path and make it flow more easily, starting with baby steps.
Writing blogs
There maybe similarities in my blogs. I guess this resonates with the way I feel and the importance of certain concepts. The purpose of my blogs were to help my mind to focus and to clear the clutter. It has helped me gain clarity in several different things. I will continue to learn things from my life and try to create meanings or understand things. I guess when something as big as suicide happens in our society, let alone at my own doorstep it makes me question life, it’s meaning and my purpose at several different levels.
Life is too short. Sometimes it’s hard to take life and live it as if it was my last day. Why? Maybe because of responsibilities but isn’t life much more than responsibilities and the ‘to do lists’? I often forget to put myself on top of that list, or even beyond that.
The importance of you and ME
Time for ME, the importance of ME, how special I AM, how important I AM to myself, to my family and my friends. The importance of giving yourself value. Something that is often forgotten. We have a duty to look after ourselves. If other things crash it’s okay but if we are not okay nothing else can flow in our lives and there is no point in anything. Being happy , being true to myself and following what I believe and making a stand even if I am alone is what is important to me to help myself. If I have to stand on my own I will and I am.
