What I have been learning over the past few weeks is that your mindset/thoughts/beliefs have a huge impact on your life and the things that happen

I am very good at what I do and as I do it more I will become even better and more and more people will want to work with me because more and more people will find out that the clothes I make are lovely, last a long time and make people feel awesome in them. Money is a funny thing. There is something about being grateful for what we have that increases and expands what we have. There is something about giving and sharing also that expands what we have. I [think] this realization about gratitude is important right now because I wonder if my worry and concern over money is actually preventing me from being fully grateful because I am always afraid I’m going to lose it.

Anything I did value would often get shelved for the people I wanted to value me

Keywords: {0}

I would supress, shelve and ignore what I valued until one day I woke up and didn’t even recognise myself anymore. Yet when I became single, I found that I spent an almost unhealthy amount of time alone, this was however a necessary evil because in that time I picked apart everything I had ever known, I studied scripture, watched sermons, read self-help book after self-help book. I analysed, I tested and reanalysed. Eventually, started hanging around different people, I observed, took notes and after a lot of trial and even more error, I started to understand what I valued, more importantly I started to understand why I valued those things.

I want to be able to be more confident

Keywords: {0}

Usually when I’m talking to a friend, adult, or coworker, I don’t make a lot of eye contact and I stutter on my words. In most of my communication I use humor because I have done that for so long, I find it difficult to stay away. I don’t see anything wrong with using humor because if there was only one way of communicating, I would find it very boring. One form of communication I use a lot is “intrapersonal communication”. Sometimes I don’t like what my inner voice is telling me, but I get the message. One common scenario I have is “oh, this is embarrassing”. Honestly, it’s only embarrassing if you make yourself feel embarrassed. I would love to accomplish all that I can presented to me in this course. At the end, not being nervous to talk in front of people and communicating effectively are two of my main goals. In order for me to achieve this goal, I need to know inside and out what I’m talking about and I need to have fun with it, as long as I take it seriously.

In the day of my dreams I will be retired

Keywords: cabininthewoods , Dayofmydreams , isolation journals, Journal writing , Reflections

I want to retire. I am ready now to retire, but not sure how to go about it. Maybe one more year of teaching and occasional performances, and then I’ll decide on a new adventure. Gradual retirement will not work for me — too many exciting opportunities are available, and I can’t see to let them go by without accepting the challenge. I have tried to semi-retire, but within a few months my schedule was full again.

When people say “I want to see you happy” without knowing anything about me or my life it offends me

Keywords: life

And there are people who suggest life options to me because they think that makes me happy. And the worst part is when I am blamed for somebody else’s unhappiness. First of all why is everyone assuming I am not happy in life. Just because I made different choices in my life doesn’t mean that I am unhappy. Lets say suppose it seems that way. Then its on me to find a way back. I get when people care and want to check how I am doing. But I feel suffocated when people push me to choose their version of ‘happy life’. Every single person in this world is responsible for one’s own Happiness. So I feel its unfair whenever I get questioned for not thinking about somebody else’s happiness.
