Today I am grateful for:
-finding out that there is a reason everyone has been feeling off their game. The moon. Apparently, astrologers are calling this full moon The Monster Moon.
"September is due to close with a very volatile full moon in Aries this Saturday. The relative position of other planets in the sky will combine with this moon to create what will feel like an astrological lightning storm for all of us from now until around the 4th of October...Some astrologers are literally warning people to hide out until the storm is over. This isn’t necessarily bad advice as it is true that there will be real potential for high drama in the heat of the moment. However there won’t be anything you can’t deal with. Just remember to breathe...This is the perfect time to reflect and find the courage to finally realise what positive changes you need to make in your life and what you need to let go of now. What has been holding you back? Be brave and let the energy of this time give you the courage to be the new you."
It was really nice to see a facebook thread this morning where every one was banning together to work through these difficult few days. One more day and things should be at rest.
-being able to say no. "Being uncomfortable is better than being resentful." That was my unofficial motto today as I had to say no to several potential gigs. Well, I actually had to say no to gigs that I had already said yes to first. Woof. That was rough. It still is rough. I'm practicing my 4 steps right now. 1. Recognize what's going on (I'm in shame. Shame that I'm not good enough and that I'm a disappointment. I'm such a people pleaser. I don't want to disappoint anyone. How can I say no?! I already said yes!) 2. Calm Down (Alright. Take some deep breaths. 1...2...3...4...) 3. Put things into perspective (If I say yes to these gigs, I'll start to resent them for it, even though it was my fault for taking them on. Not to mention it is way more added stress to my already over packed schedule.) 4. Stop thinking! (Alright seriously. Stop thinking about it. You've wrote it out, Taj. You're done.) I think time will make it better, too.
-the basics.
-Hanging out with Ruth. We got tea, chatted, played on a playground, laughed a lot, talked about boys, went and saw Next To Normal.
-The truly amazing fall weather. If this was the last day of nice weather, it was good to have you fall. I'll see you on the other side.
-Laughter. True. Genuine. Laughter
-Hanging out with Brittany. Watching The Voice. Catching up.
-Finding small pockets of joy.
-As always, my friends
