Lesson 81: Tune Into Your Home or Workplace

Today is all about tuning into your home or workplace and see how it feels for you. What does the weather map show for you when you enter certain spaces or rooms? Are you more prone to go to certain rooms because it feels good?

At work, I love my current desk because it’s next to the window and it’s warming when the sun shines. I find it’s a more open space. I find the mood of the people can really make a room. If everyone is stressed then that can change the mood of the room. If you’re around approachable people, then the room is inviting and fun. Like today I had a laugh with my co-workers because of something funny that happened. The room really felt alive at that point but when we go back to our work, it’s quite settled and quiet.

If I think of my home, it’s a loft apartment and has open living. I really feel like something is missing even though it’s cluttered. I think the feeling is that I haven’t truly made the space my own. It’s more that I just live there. So I guess I feel a bit unsettled in my own home in this way. I will make it a good space to live in time but for now it seems very much incomplete and therefore I feel that way also.

What do your spaces feel like for you?

Day 73 - A Year to Clear - Tune Into Things

Lesson 73: Tune Into Things

Today is all about tuning into possessions that you hold. Does thinking about them or holding them just don’t have the same feeling you once had towards it. This can be anything from a ring your mother gave you, maybe a photo with old friends, that birthday present you got when you were 18. Whatever it is, you will feel some good feelings or maybe some discomfort.

Today I am to tune into a physical item and see how it makes me feel without judging whether it’s good or bad.

I know I have some items from my ex that I still have but not on display. I am still contending whether it’s worth keeping for the memory or not, or do I just let the past die. I like looking at this canvas he made me with some fun memories we had on it together. I feel good towards how I felt in those moments, but then looking at him, I obviously have ill feelings towards him. In regards to the item itself, I don’t really judge it as good nor bad. It’s why I find it hard to get rid of as it’s kind of neutral. I don’t place it on display and I never would again, so I’m not sure if keeping it actually is worth it? I guess I keep it around because it was heartfelt at the time and that’s always a good thing but the question still remains of, should I really keep it though?

Lesson 35: Check In WEEK 5 - Tuning In

Today is the last week’s theme check in of “Tuning in”. Very much focused on the senses that we tend to lead with, find out what it revealed about myself as well as viewing spaces differently and the people in them.

I learned more about what is developing within me. On this spiritual journey, I am opening up my mind, loving and accepting people more, whilst not trying to take on other people’s energy that may leave a cloud hanging over me. I am pleasantly surprised by things I pick up along the way that adds value to my life. I feel like I’ll be learning until the end. The wealth of knowledge that enhances my experience but also me as a person, just continues to grow and expand constantly. I also feel I gain a lot of my own insight and mental clarity through meditation and gain answers that are already within me. Funny how that works - We are wise if we choose to be No matter how we are guided, there are answers we can find if we just look within. We always need to start with ourselves before we can help others. I have never known that to be true, more so than now.

I know that spaces where I don’t feel right are the ones I will try to avoid. I think trusting those initial instincts mean everything. You aren’t a bad person for wanting to leave a room or avoiding it entirely if it doesn’t sit well with you. I know that I need to protect myself more from other people’s negative energy. Whether you choose to believe it or not, negativity spreads like wildfire. It can take one passing comment or feeling, to spread within people in a room. That collective energy is powerful and we should always try to turn it around into a positive environment. I know if it gets too much and I feel it in my body, I will just walk away. I can’t be around people who don’t want to reason and take on a better approach. It’s something I’ve noticed more in the last year or so, and I will continue to stand for my own values on this.

Even now I recognise I’m being dragged down from work and have some negative thoughts in my head. I am aware of them fully and actively trying to seek some goodness to enrich my life outside of work. It’s a bit tough managing but I know only I can turn it around. I know I will figure it out and work won’t bog my mine and exhaust me as it currently does. My work situation is definitely out of my control, but I need to take control on how I can feel positive at work. It’s tough when you spend most of your time there and i's now pushing me harder to work towards my goals.

It’s been a good week, honing in on my senses and being aware. Gained some further insight to this journey which I’m appreciative of.
