Blooming Thoughts Part 2
Last time we discussed letting your thoughts bloom, and expressing them fully. Sometimes there is some blockage from expressing your thoughts. What’s stopping you?
Everyday life, that’s a reasonable explanation. Responsibilities making you forget what you have living inside of you? This could be work, school, kids, and the other relationships we balance. The things we put off for later because we’re too busy then turn into never, all due to the fact we’re “too busy” with the mundane or activities we’re not even passionate about. Distractions block your inner truth, and then we’re stuck with whatever thoughts that are left over, if we can even remember the thoughts to their full extent in original form.
After graduating college, I noticed I had more free time on my hands than I knew what to do with and it’s sad to admit, but I didn’t know what to do with the time I would’ve used to study, attend a class, intern, or run around the city doing whatever I was doing during that whirlwind of four years.
Post grad observation: I don’t have a hobby, something outside of work to keep my attention, nothing for fun because I was solely concentrated on making a living.
Then came the pandemic, and a popular term began to be thrown around left and right.
Passion project: the term is kind of corny to me but do you have a podcast, YouTube channel, design skills you should put out in the world? At a time we had dance classes offered to us, art classes, organized groups, sports etc. When did the only thing we concentrate on become work related?
In this time, “Getting to the bag” has been the main focus.
As an adult I noticed I became a victim to something I like to call the “broken cycle”
Broken Cycle: Going to work, toxic relationships, and going to the bar/club on the weekends.
This can’t be our new extra curricular activities. If so, then we had it made in school. The only place where I can remember where options were laid out in front of you on a silver platter, and you were offered an array of avenues you could take to express your creativity or just try something new even if you weren’t an expert at it.
What did you, or I want to do before all of that? Before the distractions of achieving, getting caught up in our everyday routines, frustrations, and a range of other flaring emotions?
It’s all hindering our confidence in letting our ideas out. Modify what you can and let go of everything you can do without.
Let everything else out.
