Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? No... I do not spend more time, I do it all the time.. why? Because I don't know how not to think about the future or the past. I have been trying harder for the last two weeks though.... To think about … Continue reading Present
Addicted
I'm addicted to worry... I never realized that until today. This last week... I was experimenting with my own thoughts. I made notes about my thoughts at that particular moment... Sad, worry, the past, regret, another worry... And so on.... And yes.. almost every minute I worry about something. So .... I'll try to talk … Continue reading Addicted
Playtime
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you? Hmm... Does Duolingo count as a playtime? I have been playing it for 772 consecutive days. Perhaps the next question is : does it work? Can we really learn a foreign language through playing with Duolingo? It's a complicated question, but I'll say … Continue reading Playtime
Bienvenue 2024
No more resolution this year, I'm no good at keeping promises I made for myself and I blame myself relentlessly because of those broken promises. No more resolution this year, the future is not a place we know, not even a tiny part. The best time is now, the present, and to appreciate the "now" … Continue reading Bienvenue 2024
Name
I finally know how noisy my head is. And I want to make it calm, every time it mentioned something from the past, I said : the past is dead, each time it says about the weary future, I said: pay attention to what I'm doing right now, I'm ironing, the clothes must be neat … Continue reading Name
Rain
Hello rain, it's been some time since the last time we met... You're busy pouring down; purifying everything, and I'm writing with a hot cup of tea by my side, trying to tap into my being. I believe you bring a lot of stories from afar... I believe you bring blessings to all living things, … Continue reading Rain
Situations
What do we do when we face some particular life situations and we don't know what to do? An old church song came into my mind: Are you ever burdened with a load of care?Does the cross seem heavy, you are called to bear?Count your many blessings, every doubt will flyAnd you will be singing … Continue reading Situations
Mindless
I never knew... Until just recently, a mindless state is not a bad state at all... I get used to the continuous streams of my own thought and I never knew that I could stop the stream, and it seems so normal. Don't overthink, don't sweat the small stuff... There are so many quotes about … Continue reading Mindless
Pause
Sometimes the life that I've been holding to, shatters, no announcement, no symptoms, it just shatters. After it happens several times, now I know that it's a great reminder to pause. It seems so unimportant - to pause-, but it really is. Let's take time to stop for a while, to not entangle into thoughts, … Continue reading Pause
Now
So, in the most absurd coincidence way, I currently read the Eckhart Tolle book, the power of now, and I can understand why this book is so famous. The coincidence is that I already bought this book in may 2023... Mind that... And it sat quietly in my book shelves, so neat, yeah, still wrapped … Continue reading Now
