Hi Friends!
This is a glimpse into my train of thought the past 10 mins as i sat there trying to think of what to blog about today:
clever point no 1 --> analysis no 1 --> follow-on thought --> further padding of follow-on thought --> (frustration starting to creep in as i began to realise it was all very 'staged') --> thought of Sascha Baron Cohen and his staged humour in Bruno --> eyes wandered to the open FB page in front of me --> decided to update status that i am having zero inspiration --> abandoned idea of blogging tonite --> looked at people's posts --> funny! --> played internet voyeur for a bit --> more funny bits --> saw my update again --> INSPIRATION CAME!!!
now i am rocking and waving my arms in the air to the friday nite music celebrating the rebirth of freedom, acceptance, relaxation, non-trying and just-being :)))
my client yesterday had an insomnia problem. of course the more she tried to sleep, the more she was awake. then she berated herself for not sleeping, upping her level of stress hormones, again less likely to sleep.
Now if only she could lobotomise me and look at my thought associations just mentioned. hehe, but lobotomy is so passe and we all know it only works when people can promise that they wont get depressed from managing the pain after getting cut up, otherwise it is a lost cause.
now makeup and playing dress ups. we've all heard of 'effortless chic' and looking nice without looking like you had spent a lot of time on dressing up. And how when women wear makeup they strive to look like they are actually NOT wearing makeup :) 'Being' without trying (but in my case re makeup, hehehe well that will be another post :D)
in meditation, as i understand it, the more you try to clear your mind, the more thoughts come flooding in.

This pose below in yoga is called the Non-trying pose. note that it is quite difficult, and you need help from a more experienced person ;)
Similarly, with my striving for inspiration just now, i didnt get it, and it only came when i did other things and became relaxed.
what am i rambling on about? i think the word i am thinking of is 'by-product'... happiness, love, money and many other things in life come when you dont look for it, when you dont strive for it. like you can't actively LOOK for money but if you do your job properly it is the result/by-product at the end of the month when your salary comes. these things, they pop up when you go about doing the daily necessities, living and enjoying your life in spite of, and simply relaxing and accepting your life.
Thus, I think my slogan for the day will be:
-------->"Why try, when you can simply get by?!"<--------
and to prove my point that I am not trying too hard here, i will simply insert a random doraemon video here for your viewing pleasure :)
Cheers and happy Friday nite everyone!!!
I like your slogan. But your picture of the two yoga dudes are too "hands on" man! Eh, how can that pose be called the "non-tring pose"! They look like they're trying like crazzzzy. Like die-die must still try!
ReplyDeletedrey, that was a joke what i called the yoga pose! LOL :P
