Change Of Plans...

Daily writing promptWhat is your career plan?View all responses To be brutaly honest, I totaly screwed myself out of a great life, and a more than decent education. All because I thought it was more important to be the cool guy, the funny guy, the I could care less guy… How’s that working for me..? It’s not, before Covid, I was lost. Looking for what I should have already found in post high…

20 yr anniversary meet the owners spotlight on winemaker Jesse. What is he most proud of? Of course family, the winery, & a number of accomplishments. But it’s when he really pushes himself like running the Deadman Ultra, a 56 mile race in southern NM or becoming fluent in yet another language that brings him satisfaction. “I guess I’d say, my life as a whole, as long as I keep pushing into uncomfortable situations that keep me learning, that test my knowledge and abilities I will continue to be proud of myself”. Cheers to that! What are YOU proud of? #wine #goals #surpriseyourself https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVLutIvTmF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven't even happened yet. -Anne Frank

If you haven’t surprised yourself lately, you’re being too rigid. We frequently hold ourselves too tightly, because we are afraid. The problem with this is that we don’t allow for flow in our lives. Yes, the only thing you have control over are your actions and reactions, but you don’t have to hold them so tightly in control that you don’t get to really live.

 

Relax.

It’s okay to voice your opinion. Should you use tact? Probably. But you still get to speak up.

Have some fun. Let yourself go loose, just a little. Jump in that fountain, stop and smell those flowers, sing a bar of the song stuck in your head. Maybe not at work, but you shouldn’t be at work 24/7 anyway.

Today, on your lunch break or after work, have some fun. Indulge in some silliness. Allow the childlike energy it generates to loosen the muscles in your shoulders, to help you breathe, to make you smile and laugh. 

You might be surprised how much closer this brings you to the Divine.

“Yes”-Theory

Whenever I want to have some Me-Time I usually end up watching Netflix. But I´ve noticed that I´m not really recharging anything, just laying there vegetating.

I´ve been devestated feeling like life is just passing by, so I´ve naturally packed my schedule with all those fun things to do with friends.  Not only have I done that, but I´ve added almost everything into my schedule that people proposed to me. I´ve been staying in school overtime for clubs, been running errands and said yes to working whenever. The plan was to say “yes” more often.

As I´m seeing it typed out I´m wondering how it even suprised me, that my sleeping quality has been in the lows! I´ve eventually had a small little breakdown on Wednesday, that made me rethink my way of doing the “yes”-Theory. It´s kind of ridiculous, because it wasn´t even as much as it sounds like. But just like it sounds, it felt in my head.

You see Wednesday was supposed to be the day that I have this Time-Out with myself, to regain the energy to live the rest of the week to the fullest. That´s when a friend made me realize that I´d been putting off those things I had scheduled to do for myself, because of Netflix. Because I was “too tired to do anything else”, I didn´t do the things I actually needed for myself.

Maybe we don´t need to say “yes” to everything but we need to say “yes” to the right things. Maybe we need to dare to spend some alone time with our thoughts, far away from any technology. Maybe that way we will be able to deal with our feelings and know our priorities to have the energy to surprise ourselves with saying “yes”. Maybe the “yes”-Theory isn`t just about saying “yes” to other people, but also about saying “yes” to yourself in the right way.

Maybe that combined is what you really need to do to say “yes” to life.

I miss my Chicago dogs since trying to go more plant based. This looks amazing! Where do I find these Smart Dogs?! Posted @withrepost • @loveandlemons (#ad) It’s #nationalhotdogday so we made Chicago Dogs!! 🌭🌭We grilled up @LightlifeFoods’ juicy plant-based Smart Dogs, stuffed them into poppyseed buns and topped them with all of the classic Chicago Dog toppings: dill pickles, tomatoes, sport peppers, mustard (never ketchup!), and homemade day-glow relish. Here’s the relish recipe, which is super yummy:� Relish: 1 ½ cups diced green pepper 1 ½ cups diced cucumber ½ cup diced white onion 1 cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup cane sugar ½ tablespoon sea salt ½ tablespoon mustard seeds ¼ teaspoon celery seed ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes� Make the relish. Combine the green pepper, cucumber, onion and ½ cup of the apple cider vinegar in a small pot and bring to a simmer. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain, discarding excess liquid, and return veggies to the pot. Add remaining apple cider vinegar, sugar, and the spices and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, then chill until ready to use. (Makes about 2 cups) Grill the Smart Dogs for 2 minutes per side or until lightly charred. Assemble dogs with the toppings. ☀️ #SurpriseYourself #SmartDogs https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BpfVYhVMI/?igshid=ffz53l9rv51w

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or sing or live as only you can.

Which way did he go...?

Daily writing promptWhat gives you direction in life?View all responses My sense of purpose gives me direction, my sense of belonging, also gives my life direction. If I have a certain skill set, that can be utilized for the purpose of bettering a situation, object, or environment…that will also give me direction in life. Some of us may have a calling, some of us already know our purpose. And…

Repost from @shrimatiphue For the very first time I felt quite comfortable cycling in the drops. Awesome weather, awesome ride 🤗 #surpriseyourself #mühsameseichhörnchen #cycling #fixedgear #spring #cakeladyride #exhaustedbuthappy

Behind me stretches out a tidy straight path, cleared of debris and hazy with known comforts. If I don’t turn back at the usual limit, I can define today by having some courage and forge a new messy crooked path; I can take on new miles shining with unknown sources of awe. . . . . . #pushthroughit #shakeupyourstyle #surpriseyourself #putyourselffirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CR39cORDR9l/?utm_medium=tumblr
