Can You Do Nothing for 2 Minutes?

December 3, 2011 in Cool Stuff, Dr. Phil Moments | No comments

I’m a mover, a do-er, nervous energy is my constant companion. If I’m not doing something I’m thinking about the next thing I need to do. Going to sleep at night can be a battle between my exhausted body and my ever running mind. I’ve got things to do, people to see, places to go. If I’m not busy then I feel guilty – this is inherited from my parent’s crazy work ethic (thanks mom n’ dad!).

Today in my net travels I stumbled across this little site called Do Nothing for 2 Minutes. It was a challenge to sit and watch the screen for 2 minutes without doing anything (I failed about 4 times before making it through). Give it a shot and let me know how ya do ;)

P.S. The parent site is calm.com which is also pretty neat and worth a look-sie.

Notes from the Universe

November 11, 2011 in Buggie Goodness, Cool Stuff, Dr. Phil Moments | No comments

Positive thinking has always been a stumbling block for me. I know that our thoughts have a major impact on our response to life and sometimes the outcome of situations. Still the “Negative Nelly” in me tends to turn my mental space into a minefield of nay-saying and worst case scenarios.

I’ve written before about the things I’ve tried to help me help myself in this regard. In some cases I’ve gotten better but I know that there’s a long way to go. One of the things that I’ve found that has really made a difference is my daily email from The Universe. Each weekday morning I wake up to a note from The Universe sitting in my inbox, they are non-denominational and encourage positive thinking, remind me of the good in life and just generally make me smile. My weekday ritual is to wake up and before doing anything else I read my email from The Universe and try to commit to memory what lesson it’s trying to convey so I can reflect on it during the day. If you’d like to sign up (it’s free) simply click here. It’s a nice moment of the day and hopefully it does as much good for you as it has for me :)

Simply Life

Gotta get the bummer post off the top here…things are going well :) New people have come into my life that have showed me that it’s time to get out of my head and back into living. I find myself more happy than sad these days, there’s been more excitement and reasons to smile lately.

I hope this all continues on an upward swing, God knows I need it. Like Dory says “Just keep swimming!”

Because it’s All Just a Little Bit of History Repeating

My luck with certain aspects of life is not so good – this I know for a fact. Just when I think that things are looking up they take a somewhat terrible but predictable turn for the worse and I’m right back to square one. It’s not like I try for this…it just happens. I’ve noticed that this particular aspect of my life tends to run in a cycle. The same events run over and over again. Literally the same game just different players. If one was to believe in reincarnation you could say I haven’t learned whatever cosmic lesson I’m supposed to have been taught. I always thought things of that nature were supposed to be spread over various lifetimes…not just one.

But I digress.

I need an insight into the moment that I’m repeating that is causing the wheels of fate to turn in the direction they inevitably do. Just a peek at the course of events or action that is causing the repeat so I can prevent it in the future. The continual reboot mode that I’ve been trapped in is starting to get a little old, I’m starting to get pretty damn jaded. Not much is left except for my own weak theories these days and even those have slowly begun to fade out into the background…
