The World Waits For You!

Today, as I write and schedule this post, it is Nov. 21st, and I am one day away from my first Christmas market of the season. Since I have been even busier planning and organizing for the past two weeks, my level of inspiration is not very high. So, I helped myself and picked an oracle card from my favorite deck, “Gateway Oracle Cards” by Denise Linn. When I saw the card, I smiled and thought it was so obvious that I picked that one, but I was still surprised at how precise the universe is in picking up one’s vibrations.

I Would Go With A Smile …

A friend’s post reminded me of what I am often thinking: If I were to die today, I would go with a smile.
Yes, I would like to stay longer, but when I look back, I can say I truly lived:

#JustAThought… “I Don’t Like Mondays”

A couple of weeks ago, I discussed the negative feelings about Mondays with a friend. We were talking about why Monday is connected to something negative. My friend said it was because the relaxing stress-free weekend was over and people had to return to a job they really don’t enjoy. Of course, hanging around without appointments, sleeping long, meeting friends, or enjoying a trip somewhere is fun. But doing it for weeks, months, or years without having a task to fulfill, would that be fulfilling? We all have a purpose to fulfill. Sooner or later we would become discontent.

I May Be Sad But Not Unhappy!

Lately, I noticed in discussions that unhappiness and sadness may be seen as the same thing. I believe that this is not the case. In my opinion, happiness is an inner concept we recognize as part of who we are. It has nothing to do with subjective, personal assessments of situations that we allow to influence us from the outside. Otherwise, that would mean we are dependent on particular circumstances or the goodwill of others. But that is not true. I remembered a post I wrote many years ago and would like to share it again:

Lately, we had some discussions comparing what one achieved at the same age. First I said that it doesn’t matter what one achieves since someone else achieves other things. But what if you are wishing for certain things to achieve, but you simply can’t due to your current life situation?

The Monster in Me

I think there are only few people who are free of any inner chains or demons. The more I could get rid of some of my inner demons, the more I recognized them in hindsight. I don’t know whether I free myself of them during this lifetime, but it doesn’t matter. They are there to make us overcome them and develop through the experience of this overcoming.

#JustAThought… Decide to Like it

Lately, we were driving somewhere, and our middle child was with us in the car. We talked about winter and the cold and my son said, “Since I decided to like November, there is no month anymore I don’t like.” I was surprised to hear it coming from him so naturally.

No More Excuses – The World Is Yours!

The beginning of the year is a time of reflection for many of us. We look back and think of what went well and what we could change in, add to, or ban from our lives. Sometimes we may come to the conclusion that an adjustment is necessary. I remembered this post I shared about 10 years ago and thought it would make a good first post of the year. Always remember: new beginnings can be made every day!

Priorities

Isn’t it a pain when you love doing something (or have a lot of interests), but together everything goes beyond your daily or weekly agenda? You are used to giving 100% of whatever you do, when too many particular activities need too much room at times, you cannot guarantee the quality. Plus your mental health can be affectd.

You Are An Influencer!

There is so much chaos in this world right now and I thought this short post from four years ago fits well.

We are constantly exposed to external influences. These influences determine how we influence ourselves. Because in the end, the influence of thoughts and deeds is only by yourself. Being influenced AND influencing happens unconsciously until you understand that your own thoughts do not just happen but can be controlled.

#JustAThought … New Beginnings

After we lost our cat and thought of getting a new one, I thought a lot about beginnings and endings and how different people look at them. Some feel guilty about starting something new after something ended. I often observed this in relationships. My mother-in-law felt guilty about enjoying life after her husband died. She spent 23 years in depression that she caused by her conviction that she does not deserve to be happy and has to grieve for the rest of her life. She thought it was not ok to feel or show joy. That’s why on the one hand, she complained about being lonely but on the other hand, hid in her house, avoiding any company. I totally understand the shock, the missing, and all the struggles that go along with such a loss. It all needs time, and people should take their individual time. What I mean here is that some think they must bury themselves in sadness as an unwritten law.

Tools That Make You Feel Better

There are times, circumstances, or even only moments when we struggle to see some light at the end of the tunnel. But exactly then, it is all the more important to have a lamp light at hand to find the way out and fill the heart again with joy. Here are some suggestions to set nervosity, anxiety, anger, disappointment, and worries aside and regain inner warmth and power to lift us above that struggle.

Although I did not have much time when scheduling posts for this week, I don’t want to leave you without some Monday Inspiration. I decided to repost this one from December 2020 and hope it speaks as much to you as it did to me again.

Recipe Against Rage, Anger, And Stress

Again, this week’s post was inspired by a person and her work I found on Instagram. (Yes, there is a lot more level on Instagram than this “important” self-display with posts about fingernails, new hair-dresses, pets, food, and sharing current activities). However, I saw excerpts of lectures from this amazing German woman, Vera Birkenbihl. She was a highly intelligent researcher, an inspiring speaker, and an impressive personality. She worked as a management trainer and non-fiction author. She scientifically explains what we feel as our inner struggles, even though we can’t name them, why they exist, why they are in our nature, and why we run into walls by denying them. I don’t know if her books have been translated into English, but if you google her name, you’ll find a flood of information. I saw several excerpts of her profound and humorous teachings. I don’t know if two of them were part of the same lecture, but they feel like problems and solutions.

#JustAThought… And Suddenly They See

A couple of weeks ago, Colin of meandray.com mentioned the quote (above) of a young woman called Jane Marczewski in a comment. I remembered that quote and immediately checked YouTube. 30-year-old Jane participated in the show America Got Talent. She had already beat cancer twice. But shortly before she got on stage, she was told that they found cancer in her liver, her lungs, and her spine. She had a two percent chance of surviving. She said: “I have a 2% chance of survival, but two percent is not 0%. 2% is something. And I wish people knew how amazing it is.” And she smiled all over her face. She also said that it is important to her that everyone knows that she is so much more than the bad things that happen to her. Although she had that diagnosis, she appeared so full of life and joy and was literally glowing. You will see it in the video I shared at the end of this post. Sadly, she passed away only a few months later.

Today we are heading towards the most eastern part of Austria (which will be a ride of about 9 hours). My sister is getting married and we will be back by Friday. So, since I won’t have time for replying to your wonderful comments in the coming 4 days, I decided not to post at all.

Don’t Let Their Discontentment Control Your Life!

Seven years ago I translated for two English mediums at their sessions. I remembered this post I wrote a few weeks later and would like to share it with you again. The sessions were insightful in many ways. I learned so much and got confirmed in many things I was already convinced about. One case touched me a lot. There was a woman who was involved in a bad accident some time ago. She was close to death but survived. The accident caused massive brain injuries and she still suffers from a limited way of understanding and comprehending. She is slower in thinking and moving, and the left side of her face is still a bit paralyzed. But she has come such a long way due to her strong willpower and she is still progressing. She even started an education on the internet in order to step back into life actively. Now what hurts her so much is that her husband has turned away from her. He is only complaining and blaming her for each and every little thing. She cannot do anything right and gets screamed at all the time. She desperately tries everything to be loved by him the way he did before the accident happened.

Red Noses are Great Teachers

Haven’t we all come to a point in our lives, where we asked ourselves: Is this it? Where’s the thrill? Where’s the challenge? Where’s the appreciation? What have I missed? When thoughts like these arise, something within us begins to move, change and grow. We begin to look for new adventures or what we’ve noticed we’re missing.

How is it that beautiful memories can make you cry? Even though all the people involved are still with you. When I listened to the song I am sharing tomorrow, suddenly, I was taken back to our Christmas in Williamsville, Buffalo. A string of single moments appeared, and I felt the joy again of spending these days with our little daughter. Just the three of us. A time when new traditions were born.

Gratitude is the Key

This year our equivalent of the American Thanksgiving Day took place on October 2. It is not such a big family celebration as in the USA. But for us, there is a different story behind it. As the name suggests, we celebrate it out of gratitude for nature’s gifts at harvest time and, therefore, always in the fall. There is Thanksgiving Sunday when the priest symbolically blesses harvest gifts during Mass. Although we don’t celebrate this day so exuberantly over here, I think it doesn’t hurt to share some necessary thoughts about gratitude again.

It’s Not The Time, But The Feeling

When times get tough, we tend to think back to “better” times. Times when everything was more relaxed, less hectic, less strenuous. Images of moments come to mind that you begin to miss or miss even more. And maybe you wish you could go back to those times and lose yourself in a bubble of the past. Maybe, you only realize how blessed those times actually were.

Thought Gyroscope

Not only are the days of many of us already filled with obligations, ideas, plans, visions, jobs, and tasks to do. But there is even more that we absorb, even though it may not concern us in the first place. Injustice, war, diseases, tragedies, natural disasters can burden a lot more than we may think. Although the days may be well balanced and nothing has actually changed in daily routines, still, there can be a feeling of sudden overwhelm. The walls may appear closer than before. Simple tasks or even everyday things feel like a burden, whereas before you didn’t even think about it. Or maybe some discussions or statements throw you off track that you usually don’t even ignore.

Clear Your Channel

QuoteFancy.com

I found a post again that I shared three years ago. It spoke volumes to me, since currently, I have to remind myself of the important fact that only in distancing from life, I find the necessary overview and the needed solutions. My employed job has been overwhelming me in many ways more and more for years. I don’t want to go into details because I don’t mean to please you with my problems. The irony is that I slipped into it for a purpose that does not even exist anymore. But that is life. Sometimes you start something only to be led to the actual lesson. Nothing is in vain, but when something no longer serves the purpose, it begins to show itself in internal and external tensions. Maybe this speaks to more of us than only to me.

Happy Ending of 2021 – Welcome 2022🍀

I have had a really good year. Of course, it wasn’t always rosy, but overall I can hardly count the blessings I experienced and the many wonderful memories I made. Everyone experienced this year differently. Away from all the negative things that may be at the forefront, let’s focus on the good it has brought (maybe even just because of difficult situations). Let’s take the good into the new year and sow the seeds to reap more of those good things that happened. Jump on a train with me and carry the good vibes of what we are grateful for into 2022.

#JustAThought… When the Lights Return

About ten days ago, we turned on the Christmas lights around the house. Every year, this is a moment I wait for impatiently. At this time of year, these lights do something to me – and I mean Christmas lights in general. They make me smile, bring back the child in me, take me back to cozy and soothing December evenings when the kids were little, or remind me of lovely times at Christmas markets.
In summary: They warm my heart and support it to open up.

#JustAThought – Filter

QuoteFancy.com

On Instagram, I saw posts about #NoFilterDay. That got me thinking. Does this mean that a lot of people post pictures of themselves with filters, basically? I am not talking about the funny filters with dog tongues, cat ears, and distorted faces but filters that make them look “better” (whatever that means). I never paid attention to this until now because I don’t use such things myself. Is it because these people want to impress others by looking a certain way that they think will get them more followers, or don’t they simply like the way they look? When I think about our “selfie” society, where people focus on themselves and the importance of what they do and eat all day, this would make sense.

Why do so many people have problems enjoying the moment they longed for only because that moment is determined to expire? I remember a homeopath I went to many years ago. It was the beginning of June, and summer unfolded its warmth and light as we love it. The weather was gorgeous that day. When I sat with her, I mentioned how much I enjoyed the season and how wonderful that it only began. With a frustrated face, she said: “And it is over so quickly.”

Set An Anchor In The Future

Do you know that too? You were so full of anticipation for a particular event, for a special meeting, a vacation, or something you planned for a long time to experience? And then, the time arrived, and it was fantastic. Perhaps it even exceeded your expectations, but when it was over, you felt like falling into a hole. Even though you may be a realistic person, it was hard to accept that what you were so looking forward to turned into a memory in an instant. It can also happen when beloved habits or traditions suddenly change, like when friends or family members we met regularly move far away.

Enjoying A Gorgeous Summer Day🌞🏔🍧

After about two weeks of rain, we are enjoying our first real summer weekend. Yesterday, my husband and I decided spontaneously to take a trip to a nearby alpine lake (the Voralp Lake) in Switzerland. It is another beautiful and scenic place that is only about 25 minutes away from where we live. We walked around the lake and enjoyed some coffee, cake, and ice cream at the end. I enjoyed this spontaneous trip and the visit to the small lake restaurant so much. It felt like being on vacation, and it energized me like that.

Fill Your Years With Life

We hear it so often that we should enjoy life, not put anything off, let our soul unfold, and follow the call of the heart. There are commitments, yes, but not all of them are real commitments. Many we do out of habit, even though times and circumstances have changed and the reason we took them on no longer exists. We sometimes need to stop and examine how we are actually filling life. Is it only filled or is it also felt?

Focus

I wish for sunshine
Wish for joy
That no one needs
To feel a void

How To Let Go?

Every other week, I publish an audio meditation on my website erikakind.com. Usually, I do group meditations in person, but due to the Corona situation, I switch to the audio option. However, the topic of this week is bringing clarity, balance, and steadfastness into life. To achieve that, we need to let go of illusions or self-imposed pressure due to the requirements we set ourselves.

You’ve Come Here to Thrive

You’ve not come here to fight a war
To beg for love or deny what you adore

You’ve not come here to argue and scream
To doubt your worth or self-esteem

The Process of Progress

A good friend of mine opened her new store this morning. She has already been self-employed as an interior decorator and designer. But now she has a beautiful showroom tastefully decorated with perfectly matching items to welcome clients. This way, she has not only the possibility to inspire them and give them an idea of what she can do, but she can also sit together with them right there and work out some first ideas. No more visiting them, then preparing drawings and offers at home, visiting them again, and only working with catalogs instead of a choice of samples. Of course, so much went wrong the closer the date of the opening came, but she is such a power-woman. Like a magician, she switched to alternatives that turned out as a much better option than the original idea or order.

How The Well-Being of Others Becomes My Freedom – #60

In 2008 Dr. Wayne Dyer published the book “Living the Wisdom of the Tao”. It contains the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching. Wayne Dyer wrote an affirmation to each verse to bring the meaning of it to better awareness. I was fortunate to buy that book the first time I experienced Wayne Dyer live at a lecture, and I even got the book signed by the author himself. Still, it is giving me goosebumps to think back to the moment when I was standing in front of him, handing him the book, and getting it signed.

Simply Enjoy!

This post is the last Monday post before Christmas. It would be obvious to talk about remembering the true meaning of Christmas or to relate to the current situation. But instantly there was one single word in my head: Enjoy!

What If… I Had Only One Day Left?

It is interesting what thoughts lead to the next one and the next one, and how they take you to solutions or insights you would never expect them to tell from the first thought. Lately, I was helping someone move into a new apartment. They moved into our closer neighborhood. While I was driving to that apartment, I was thinking of how the area had changed only within the past 5 years. Many things came to my mind that changed in general during that time, and my thoughts went 20, 30 years back. I began to think of what my life impacted, what pushed me, what directed me, what guided me, and what I myself moved (with or without the influence from outside). Even though I often think that I got stuck when emotions are surfacing which I thought I had worked out when actually, I was only successfully pushing them back.
