A snippet of my new upcoming creation.
A sneak peak into the small part of my new creation.
Today, I feel like sharing this small part from my new upcoming creation (which will be revealed to you soon what it is). I talked about this before. Still, I certainly feel strongly about this topic.
âMaybe itâs not about always experiencing grandiose and impressive things all the time. Maybe itâs about being more comfortable with more ordinary, more stillness, more mundane, more simplicity, and more serenity.â
I was in this pattern during my initial stage of deciding to leave the traditional path (my masterâs degree in Edinburgh that I signed up for out of a feeling that I had to make the next sensible step at all costs to look explainable to society). After I interrupted my study, I still operated every day on this pathless path/ soul path out of the feeling of needing to look like I had made good, tangible progress to others. I could not go by each day just relaxing or spending time sitting, doing nothing. I was constantly driven by the old narratives in my head of being an incarnation of a human to do something big, contributing back something good to society. And all of my life has to be a compilation of âthose impressive great thingsâ. I was in the narratives like a kid who finished doing some homework, feeling proud of that progress and constantly needing praise from a teacher. I need validation for doing something great and something impressive to the world. Certainly, it was very uncomfortable for me to get no validation for the path that I was on. And I then began to realise this pattern that I had. âWhy do I always crave the attention of others to validate what I do? Why canât I just do it because I want to do it?â Then it began to click that I had this pattern living unconsciously in my life.
The time in the UK certainly put me back into my own cave. Sitting with myself until I found myself more comfortable being on my own. I found myself in the new light of enjoying simple things in life. Going to the Supermarket. Doing house chores. Cooking new recipes, in contrast to when I was in Thailand, I struggled to cook anything. Writing. Sunbathing in the lush green field in the parks (if there is sun). Go for a walk on rainy days. Enjoy making and sipping cuppas. And this shed the new light for me that âLife doesnât always need to look like you experiencing grandiose, impressive achievements, working on something super hard, living the highlights of life like Social media likes to make us think we need to all the time. Life can just be like this. I can enjoy myself and relax more than I thought. And doing less than before does not mean Iâm not enough. Itâs the exact opposite. Iâm already enough in the first place without needing to be or do anything. I am already more than enough.â
In a way, at that time, I was certainly addicted to the whirlwind pace that my previous business career provided, I would say. Itâs how things have been done for such a long period. So, jumping onto this soul path; more coming back to earth, slower rhythm, more living, would require me to gradually fine-tune myself to the new ways of doing things.
Thank you for allowing me to share this.
As always, sending you so much love.
