Before moving on the next house and its themes, I just want to take a moment to go back to the starfish. This is the list I made about a month ago with the things I wanted to do less of or stop doing altogether, as well as the things I wanted to do more of or start doing. The list was based on the inventory I made around the new moon in Capricorn. I will come back to both in the Summer, when the full moon occurs in the same sign, on 13 July 2022.
I am really glad to see that things are already moving and changing. The dedicated focus on money, assets, resources and self-worth has actually encouraged me to take my business to a new level. And this time I am not just thinking or talking about it; I am actually making progress.
I am delegating unpaid work, I have revised my financial planning, explored my resistance to (making) money and I have negotiated a higher fee with one of my clients.
I have scheduled my portfolio updates and already found one new project which will allow me to work with students for a few months in the Spring and early Summer.
I am much clearer about when I can or cannot have a meeting or meet a deadline and will further explore setting boundaries and stop scattering my energy in the weeks ahead when daily life comes into focus.
The daily meditations and my therapy sessions are a great help when it comes to fearful thoughts, comparison and self-judgement. And actually, developing this practice, writing the blog and sticking to the steps is also making me feel a lot better about myself. It feels empowering to create something and it is a great comfort to always have this place to turn to.
In the outside world the pandemic is raging, storms are making the house tremble and some of my dearest loved ones are not well at all. But despite all that bad weather, I find pockets of calm right here. Instead of spiralling down in fear or worry, I will often just open my laptop and revise some paragraphs or write a post on supportive tools. Restless energy redirected.
I look forward to adding another layer to this blog by creating the artwork. And to do so in a clear and decluttered house.
