What advice is your higher self giving you for this new year?
Grab some paper and write it all down.
You might be surprised at what you hear...
I know I did.
I was expecting a lengthy lecture or an elaborate 'How to'
butt all I got was this..
Be Happy.
Seems my higher self is a firm believer in simplifying things....
Ask.
And you shall be given.
Anything and Everything.
I promise.
Happy New Year!
Writing is a strange thing.
When you write anything, anything at all, you transfer a great deal of your personal energy into it.
Meaning, not just that your thinking energy is translated into words, but that the way you feel as well as parts of your personal
magnetic energy are transfered into your writings.
People who read them can sense that.
Instantly.
From the very first sentence.
They can sense your energy and feelings and relive them each and every time they read your stuff.
They probably cannot put this into words, so they just say, out loud or to themselves ''Great style of writing!'' or ''what crap is this'', depending on whether they resonate with your energy and feelings at the time you wrote it.
It's not just your ideas they resonate with ( though they may reason it is so).
It's not your style of writing.
It's not the hard work you did or didnt put into perfecting it.
It's not whether they like you, personally, or not.
It's the energy you transferred to it ,
because of who you are and how you felt when writing it.
People resonate with your energy and feelings at the time you wrote your stuff. And it usually resonates with them because they either feel the same way as you when writing it, or would like to access the same feeling as you or, more often than not, because they are attracted to your personal energy that you transferred into your writings.
So here's the recipe for a masterpiece:
-Write from the heart, from the core of your being.
Don't censor yourself.
Write as if those were your last words before you leave this world, or as if your life depended on it.
Give people a jolt of jenuine emotion.
Be you in all your scary, magnificent , outspoken self
-Write only when you feel the same way you want your readers to feel when reading your writings.
And since it's not convenient to wait until you feel that way to start creating, learn to get into that special place of feeling before you start creating. There are countless ways to do that. It's a conscious effort and sometimes just stating your intention to feel a certain way is enough to get you to that place.
So now you know.
Go write something that's gonna blow your and our mind away!
Then share it with the rest of the world
Feeling good, no matter what, is an extreme act of courage because we are all under a lot of pressure to feel bad.
Society expects you to get upset about war, terrorism, crime, poverty, scandal, global warming, politics, taxes, all the shitty stuff that goes wrong around us. In most cultures, feeling bad about bad things is a virtue. It means you are in solidarity with everyone else. You fit in. You watch the news, read the paper, and rehash all that negative (resistant) energy with your friends and family. It gives you something to talk about.
Whereas if you feel good? You stand out.
You might attract envy. ''What is she so happy about?'' or raised eyebrows ''she's naive and stupid, cant she see what's going on around her?''
Happiness is a lifelong habit, folks.
After some time, it gets easier. But it still reqwuires consciouas effort.
Every single day.
You have to wake up and shift your mood carefully and deliberatelly.
Because the natural tendency of us humans is to feel like shit it's like a weed. It grows of itas own, whereas happiness and positivity hjas to be cultivated..
It's easier too. Feeling like crap gives you the best excuse to stay in inaction mode.
But you know what?
One of the fastest roads to old age, bitterness and being a grampy old man or woman, is feeloing bad.
Think about it. Each time you think a grumpy thought, you grow old faster, physically and mentally. Your positive thoughts on the other hand is a mental workout that keeps you mentally and emotionally fit and young
Choice is yours
9 things you probably dont know about me:
1. When I was one years old I almost died of dehydration. I was so ill that I had to be transfered to hospital where they practically hooked me to an IV and forgot all about me. Since I was exclusively breastfed, with the odd solid food now and then I stubbornly refused any and all kinds of nourishment in hospital and was practically starving myself to death. Then one day my mom got sick and tired of hospital shit, she very angrily declared that she was taking me and let her see anyone try to stop her. So she took me home and nursed me back to life. Hence my irrational fear of hospitals and doctors.
2. I taught myself to read and write when I was three just by watching my older brothers and sister do their homework, was considered a child prodigy by my family and started reading Dostoyievsky when I was 5. Didnt understand much about social context in said books, but it gave me a morbid taste for romanticizing poverty and squallor.
3. My most valuable possession is a book with various texts from ancient greek writers printed in 1876 that belonged to my greatgrondmother who was a teacher at a girls' school . I had to fight for said book with my oldest brother who was also claiming it as his. I won because my argument was stronger: our great grandma would have liked her book to be in the possession of a female teacher great-granddaughter, after all.
4. When I was 19 I had a love poem handwritten for me in Latin,with my name included in the verses, in perfect metric after the fashion of a latin lyric poem. The German boy who dedicated it to me predicted that one day I'd marry the love of my life and have four kids( I did). I had lost contact with him for 20 years until one night I astral travelled to the university he is now teaching, wondered why I was taken there when I woke up, then searched for his name in the list of teaching stuff, and lo! behold, I found my teenage crash again, as an esteemed professor in Mainz, Germany.
5. I own a little Roman coin dating back from the 3rd century BC, found in former Yougoslavia ,now Serbia depicting an emperor or something called Gratianus given to me as a present by an illicite trader of antiquities. I have every reason to believe it's genuine, it probably costs a small fortune and it is probably illegal owning it. But I will never part with it even if I ended up homeless in the streets.
6.I can throw up by just looking at someone chewing bubble gum or by touching a balloon. Baloons and bubble gums are my pet loathing.
7. Was mercilessly and rellentlessly bullied for being a precoscious child in elementary school and for wearing a full-body brace for treating scoliosis in high school. Bullying would sometimes get so worse that I would throw my guts out before going to school and had the shakes while walking there every morning.
8. My favorite pastime as a child was saving puppies and kittens from the streets, hiding them in old abandoned houses and stealing food from our kitchen to feed them. I was beaten several times by mom for this
9. If I had three outrageous wishes in the world granted to me, I'd choose a/ to stay fertile for as long as I live naturally, without the heany artificial hormones, b/travel in alternative universes at will c/have a little daughter of my own
