Working on my desk and currently due administrative tasks now that one AGM (annual general meeting) is nearly over as people continue to discuss who is a member / whose vote can count. Many building dramas as the new neighbor above did not announce very loud major work nor contact our building management for authorization. Must download decibel counter as noise and dust unwelcome! Water leak thru hole in floor above on my internet equipment which shut down electricity and required cleanup and patience for equipment to dry. Lots more fine dust even on plants in the courtyard.
Oh wow, Diana, I send you all my best wishes to find your way through this challenge. I think of you!
Neighborhood can be so different! To me it somehow seems to be part of (ideal) life, cannot really be chosen . So, I currently met the lady living on the third floor. I carried some food and a bottle in my hands, as I have my fridge in the basement. She said: “Oh, obviously once can see you with full hands”. So strange. And another day I found her boyfriend frying sausages in a camping equipment in my part of the garden…
M1L3, Connect to Action: Since I just turned the shelf, the stored things on it move like by themselves. And also everything around the shelf. So now, the shelf with my sketches, old drafts, some tools a.s.o. has become part of the wall with my mood board from the beta-version. Some of the sheltered things need to be put on the wall, as they have been part of my version of ideal for many years, without me being conscious about it in the way I am getting conscious actually. Doing so, the board grows more and more.
I could name this room my office, as during beta-version I recognized it as a space I can use although the street is so close to it. Moved the laptop and printer from the kitchen to it, my books too, a table and so one. When my daughter and granddaughter came to visit me, we had a nice and inspiring conversation about this room and now I name it by myself leeway (?), wich in German means “Spielraum” and invites to play with different meanings of the word. I love this so much! And I need it so much.
I will also choose my bedroom, I have chosen this room because as I reflect on lesson 2 I feel that the way my bedroom currently looks, although not bad, it is not in alignment with who I want to be. I have justified keeping things out of place because I didn’t think it really mattered and I had a plan to either clear them or put them away later. I didn’t see or get the significance of these items.
Now what I am beginning to understand is that these small things contribute to the misalignment between who I am now and who I want to be in both words and deeds. I am now curious to see what will happen when I clear them.
This sounds so good, supporting, inviting to me, Christelle. To enter a tiny bedroom and look at a beautiful bedspread. Wish you good night!
Me on my part did a very small but useful action today: turned a shelf 90 degrees so that it has become much easier to get to the things, I store there. This feels inspiring and it looks better. And I found out, that some things need a new place, that they don’t belong there anymore, so interesting. Will try to put some pictures tomorrow.
I need to be supported and recover energy. That’s why I will choose to work first in my bedroom.
For now, as first action, I will declutter my bedside table and store the books accumulated on it.
I will also look for a beautiful bedspread to put on my bed.
Oh I can so recommend it. I exchanged my bedspread just a few weeks ago, but it makes such a difference. Best of hopes for a supportive room!
