What is this about? Please refer to the Introduction/ Disclaimer/ Index Page.
As mentioned at the end of Part 5, we will be having a Summer/Winter/3 Weeks Break starting August 03, 2024.
A fun “homework” idea I came up with is this question posed to you:
What make you come alive?
Activity. Cinema. Person. Place. Food. Season. Light. Time. Music. Idea. Clothes. Sport. Dream. Friend. Ideology. Interest. Memory. Shoes. Color. Scent…
Come alive, as in, stir your soul. Get you excited silly. Get you out of bed. Make you smile/sparkle.
As always, please ask yourself and wait for the answers/ideas to surface from within. As many as you got. Some you may have known all along, some may be news to you, as there are always something to discover about ourselves…
Some of them may feel to you that you shouldn’t – for variety of reasons, be it loyalty, obligation, guilt, doubt… If those “counter reactions” come up, please do acknowledge them and jot down, as those things are of great value for the purpose of self-discovery/exploration.
What I am saying is that, there may be a chance that mulling over what make you come alive actually make you feel lousy first. Anxious, angry, apathetic…
Unless it feels overwhelmingly horrible – in such case I recommend you postpone the quest – I’d take that as an opportunity, if possible explore as to what it is about. It’s my experience that sometimes, I have to remove what is in the way, to hear what I have to say about what make me come alive.
Just thought I’d share that with you, in case you have to hit the “lousy” bump in the process.
It’s worth it though, even just asking your self. Even if what makes you come alive is not within your reach at the moment.
Your answer(s) may surface rather hesitantly. Shyly. I ask you that you be there for you, all ears, for I suspect the following to be true…
Your attention can be the most precious of all gifts you can give to yourself.
Please be generous with it. You got three weeks to indulge.
The “class” will resume on Saturday, August 24, 2024.
See you then!!
