Work through The Artist's Way (Julia Cameron)
Life-changing! 15 months ago

I started The Artist’s Way about 8 years ago and have worked through the book about 8 times! Every time something new comes up, releasing old blockages and making room for more a more creative approach to living.

Practice "And How Am I Like This?" when judgementalism, impatience or annoyance raise their smug heads
putting it to practice 2 years ago

this is such a great way to go through the day…although I often think of it too late. One thing I read yesterday (from Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Wherever You Go You Are There) really helps in approaching situations along similar lines:

“Experiment with being soft when your impulse is to be hard, generous when your impulse is to be withholding, open when your impulse is to close up or shut down emotionally.”

Too often I have found myself mirroring emotions in other people when that’s just adding fuel to the fire. I like the idea of bringing balance to the situation by going with what seems to be your opposite impulse. It makes you stand back and think about your reaction in the first place. I think I’ll make today opposite day and see what happens!

Get along better with my sister (read all 4 entries…)
a new beginning 2 years ago

after being away from my sister for over a year, I am back and staying with her while I look for a placeof my own. we’ve been getting along pretty well and I think my willingness to listen has been a big part of that. I think that so often when we harbour anger towards life, the world, unfairness, whatever, we take it out on family because we think we can. Too bad. So rather than judging her I’ve been asking her questions and then quietly asking myself the same questions. We’re going to be living in two different towns, and that’s probabaly good. I’m looking forward to growing a new relationship with her. She is my teacher.
