Day 4150: Eventful

This weekend was very eventful, as I completed setting up my Eventbrite event for my upcoming event — a concert/live album taping of original songs. (The eventful link for the event is here.).

As usual, my mind is full of events and possibilities (including worst case scenarios), so I have been working on how to approach this upcoming eventful event remaining present, hopeful, and prepared.

In a recent eventful EMDR therapy session, I came up with the idea of listening to myself with “loving ears.” The reason this is eventful is that I have very discriminating ears and can always hear what sounds wrong, off-key, etc. While I don’t want to lose that ability to hear something that’s imperfect and make it better, I want to be loving towards myself (instead of harshly judgmental) as I fine-tune what I sound like singing and playing the ukulele, the piano, and the drums. That would be very eventful and helpful change.

Is there anything eventful in my images for today?

The Daily Bitch is suggesting how to make our lives more eventful.

Thanks to all who make my life more eventful, including YOU!

Day 4149: Awareness

In my therapy group mindfulness exercises, I often suggest that people breathe in gratitude, acceptance, unconditional self love, and awareness.

For me, awareness includes understanding and letting go of old, outdated, and unhelpful beliefs — for example, if I put myself out there, something terrible will happen. My awareness tells me that old belief is born from an awareness of superstitious fears in my family as well as terrible things happening (including scary heart problems and painful hospitalizations and operations) when I was just starting to put myself out there as a child.

People who regularly read this blog may have an awareness that I will be putting myself out there in a matter of weeks in a concert/album taping of my original songs. My awareness tells me that something terrible might happen but good things are more likely.

Do you see awareness in my images for today?

Perhaps people now have the awareness that this blog post was inspired by International Awareness Day.

Here’s what I find when I search for “awareness” on YouTube:

What is your awareness of your thoughts and feelings about this “awareness” post?

I hope there is awareness out there for how grateful I am for YOU!
