Yesterday was filled with me running all over town and hanging with friends that I needed to catch up with, so I was unable to update from my computer.
Something that I've struggled with for as long as I can remember are the clear boundaries that all relationships must have. It doesn't matter if it is a friendship, dating, or another, there are always boundaries that have to be decided on unconsciously and then vocalized if necessary. I've had it happen multiple times were the boundaries are not clear and then someones feelings get hurt and so forth, so from this point on, I'm choosing to make all my boundaries clear and respect other peoples better. It seems like such a common idea, of course every relationship has places it goes and doesn't go, but when the lines get smudged, it gets messy fast.
This morning I finished the last task for week 2, Shape Shifting. This is a 10 question, fill in the blank, assignment. The goal of the exercise is to lead you into admitting areas of your life that you've always had interest in, but never took the time you seek out and explore. After filling in the questions you have to write to your "inner artist" for 15 minutes in the form of a letter. My letter consisted of apologies for ignoring myself, some of my wants and dreams. I made promises to listen to myself more and to explore areas of my life that i've always been interested in, but for one reason or another choose not to check out. There is a pottery class around the corner of my apartment that I've been meaning to check out, so now would be the best time to do it. :-) One of my sisters is great on "the wheel" and I've often been curious about working with clay. It seems like it could be very soothing, and anything that I can relax my mind to sounds like a good time to me.
Morning Pages:
CHECK!
Tomorrow I have to go on my artist's date. I don't know what I'm planning for myself yet, but it's going to be fun.
