I have professional goals I want to meet, and in order to do so, I need to put myself out there a bit more

Keywords: {0}

This terrifies me, as I am a private person, and have not been a real big-risk taker in my life up to this point. But I have realized I want to move forward in my life and reach some of my dreams, and make room for new ones. I don’t want to have lived my full life and have the nagging thought ‘if only I’d…’. The idea of putting something out on the internet has the feeling of a lot of permanency behind it, and there is the part of me that wonders if anything I have to say is important enough to put out there. It may not be to most, but may be meaningful to some/one.

Whenever I want something, the unspoken assumption is that once I get this thing, life will be better, my nagging desire will finally cease

It dawned on me this morning that wanting is part of what it means to be alive. Even though we may reach our goals or obtain whatever it is we desire, that wanting is not going to go away. There will always be something else to fixate on. We are all going through life chasing a moving target. At first this can seem rather depressing. Will we never truly reach happiness then?

I became a therapist so that people who feel judged by therapists or ashamed that they need support can feel safe to open up

I have learned that therapy is a technology not unlike ministry for the secular world. And like that clergyman who found me sleeping on bench in front of the cathedral, I want to help the people he can’t reach. I’m here for people feel judged and afraid to enter into a relationship with a therapist. I’ve never been ‘normal’. I’ve never been perfect. And, I’ve learned to be ok with who I am.

The type of life I want to live is the type that requires me to be better, and that is ok

Keywords: writing

I will move towards that in love. The bedrock of self love and self respect is laid. It is not perfect, but hey we say a flower is in bloom as soon as but one petal emerges. At 25%, 50%, 75% bloom etc. we just say ‘in bloom. So I have love and I’m on my way towards a richer inner love. I can now set goals and trust that I will take the steps to meet those goals out of love, not out of punishment or feelings of lack or anything opposite of love.

I want to reach as many of you as I can without having to spend all my time with my laptop instead of needle and thread

Almost every creative type I know, no matter the medium, has experienced a slump over the last half year. With so many things not operating in the normal way it is not a stretch to understand that energy once devoted to creative thought and activity is being used up in other ways. Understanding this is not our personal fault can help us to be less hard on ourselves but it doesn’t get us going again. After many years of studying creativity, and fighting my way back from many major and minor slumps myself I have found that there is no one single strategy that works all the time. So the following is a list of possibilities to try out if you need a blast of creative mojo.
