“Social” Drinking

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

This post probably is not going to make me popular, but I feel that it’s something that I should post anyway.
I would like to place it in context though, not because I am afraid or worried about annoying people or hurting their feelings, but because I believe it is important to know where I am… »

Spring is in the Air

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

That’s great to start with!
I’m so happy we are having a few good sunny days. I really am influenced quite badly by dark gloomy weather, but the last few days cheered me up immensely.
On an even happier note, for the last few weeks I’ve noticed a change in me that I am very happy with:… »

Positive Thoughts

Friday, February 19th, 2010

This week we have been working with positive daily mottos at work.
The idea is that apart from the other practices we do during work you formulate a positive motto to work with during a particular day.
I must say that I liked working with them.
The first two days were hard, because I started making the motto… »

Monday, February 15th, 2010

It’s shameful, I know, I haven’t posted in yonks!
I’m just too busy at work. All’s going well and I’m enjoying myself.
I thought I’d just give you a guided tour in pictures of what I’ve been up to the last weeks. Here goes! Just use the arrows below the picture to browse through them.

Profound

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Reading back over my posts over the year, I am reminded that most of the insights I’ve posted about don’t seem that profound when they are written down.
And to be honest, they probably aren’t.
Be kind to people, be aware of what is happening, don’t let emotions cloud your judgement, they are all pretty much things… »

Work and practice update.

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

So, I’ve been posting in small sentences the last two days.
This is mainly because, however trite these saying may sound at first glance, they are actually more profound than you’d think.
At least, they do for me.
Especially the one about time has become more and more important for me.
The interesting thing is that although it I… »

Meditation

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

- Sit comfortably with your spine erect.
- Be aware of your breath as it comes and goes.
- When you notice you are distracted, return your awareness to your breath.
That’s all there is to it.
Nothing… »

Back to Work

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

I’m so glad to be back at work, and from now on for four full days a week!
When I started out in April last year, I could barely manage two and a half days, so there has definitely been progress.
Work has started out slowly, which is nice. So far just a few orders have come… »
