Quitting isn’t the answer

If we are sitting here on a Sunday afternoon dreading tomorrow and a return to our work, instead of enjoying the moment, the view, the chilling and time to contemplate, then maybe it is time to make a change.

Change does not have to be quitting your job, it might be seeing our jobs and life through a new lens, one that sees what is rather than looking for what our minds want to see and believe about them.

Our reality is uniquely ours as we create it in our thought and beliefs, so how I see the world will be completely different to every single one of the other 8 billion humans.

If I dread Monday, not only do I numb myself to now, my real life, I create anxiety within me and when Monday does come, I do not enjoy it and wish I was elsewhere.

Quitting something however does not solve the problem as whatever is or was troubling us is our internal state which then manifests the external world, so unless we change the internal state, nothing will change from changing jobs, cars, houses, partners, clothes whatever else.

When we accept what is, when we become present in this moment, we can then react from a place of calm and peace, we can change how we choose to see the world and if we believe that the world is what we want to be then we can change how we see all things. That means that we can still quit our jobs if they are not nourishing our souls and if they are not what we truly want to be doing from our heart and soul.

Quitting isn’t the answer…learning our why and doing things from our heart is.

Used to count the days

7 years of blogging completed today, well according to the notification that I received from WordPress.

There would have been a time when I was focused on the days, especially as I started to do daily blogs about 4-5 years ago. I would know exactly how many continuous days I had completed.

Then I said ‘Why am I doing this?’. If it was for completing ticks in a box of continuous days of blogging, then I should stop, if it is because it makes a difference to me, and perhaps others, then I could choose to continue.

I used to count the days, views, likes and any other stat, now I do this because it brings me joy, even if no one read it, I would carry on. It does enable me to share things that matter to me with others who may well appreciate them too.

To all, thank you for taking the time to stop by and read.
