Day 1/7

Shall we start this again?

I feel like I have tried to make journaling an everyday occurrence for couple of times now. How long will I last this time? Maybe I need to put it in calendar, block off some time during day. And have a notification? Probably won't work, there are so many notifications already and most them are being ignored. Notification detox might work. 

Reminder put - 10am daily until Sunday

Baz Lurhmann

This morning I listened to an episode of a Table Manners podcast in which a mom and a daughter has Baz in for a meal.

And now I'm most likely gonna do a little marathon of his movies, starting with Moulin Rouge. I never actually realised how much of pop songs are mixed in the film and the songs the characters sing. Musical.

Baz Luhrmann is an Australian writer, director and producer

with projects spanning film, television, opera, theater, music and recording industries

3 questions to answer for myself

*What strengths or abilities do you have that you are most grateful for?

    I have something to contribute.

*Which of your personal quirks have you learned to be grateful for? 

    Being normal is boring. 

* Who in your life has had the greatest impact on shaping the person you have become?

    Role models who inspire us to take risks, to try new things, to look at things differently, to know that failure ultimately leads to success.

Fox & Badge - Vampires of the Heart

A beautiful immersive event. I can see myself being part of Fox&Badge's team and create these beautiful, mysterious and exciting events. Love their community code, their vision:

EXPRESS
Be bold & creative.
Share your authentic self; let others share theirs.
EXPLORE
Try new things. Cross new thresholds.
Open yourself & unleash.
ENGAGE
Connect. Make friends (not judgements).
Participate rather than spectate.
RESPECT
Ask, don’t assume. Listen.
Love, respect and care for others - & yourself

Notes for next event for myself:

Allow yourself be immerse even more in the experience.

Give yourself time to properly set yourself up for the party. Research. Preparation.

The Woman King

What if I don’t get any random thoughts?

The Woman King - great soundtrack! Good cast and acting. Maybe needed a bit more depth and complexity in the story, it felt very (one sided is wrong word) linear.

The walk home though.

Maybe the random thought. My hair style today reminded me of my teens when I used little hair clips to make mini ponytails. And it made me feel cute. 😂 Or maybe it was the glasses! Loving the new frames! And giving my eyes a bit of a rest. 

That’s all.

10 random thoughts

What actually is a random thought?

*Reaching a certain excellence, it’s about the journey not about reaching the point of excellence. As the description of excellence will change as soon as you reach it.

It wasn’t even my thought. And maybe I need to note those random thoughts as I go through my day. As I think them.

Ok. I’ll try tomorrow.

Early mornings

I love early mornings. 

They are quiet.

It is the best time to have with your thoughts.

Alone.

Njord - Dark Water

The piano. The forest. The breeze.

P.S. I have realised that I am an introverted extrovert (prime description found here). I fully am both - an introvert and an extrovert, depending on my environment and people around me.
