Clearing the clutter

My head is finally still again. This week was a huge learning proces. Afterwards you can look back at it and smile, but when you are in the middle.... I got sucked back into all the old traps I thought I had left behind me for good. Working too much the last two weeks. And because e-mails kept coming in, I kept answering and not relaxing even after I promised my coach I would do so. I did make little steps. Reviewed the scedule and to the dates and enddate off. Now every week I will look at it and select some tasks I think I can finish that week and if I don't finish them... tough! That took some getting used to. I am great at sticking to scedules, and fairly proud of it. But my body doesn't like it very much and I did make my body a promise, back to keeping it now.

I also cleared some of the clutter in my room. Untill about two years ago I couldn't throw anything out even if I could sell it. I was attached to every book, cd, piece of junk I ever bought. When my rooms became soooo full that I couldn't buy new stuff anymore I finally started and now I am much better at it. I can sell old Cd's, video's, boardgames and books. This time I even managed to but some of my old Roleplaying books on ebay. That was hard, many memories there, but I am playing less and kept the ones I really like. It is time for these to go and make room for stuff on the practice. If you want to have a look on ebay my name there is gawainne67.

Now 3 hours after putting the stuff on ebay my head does feel better, the clutter there is less. The decisions I needed to take this week have been taken and next week I will have new energy.

Only thing I am not looking forward to is the Neurologist on monday.I am going to tell him the truth once more but I don't expect him to listen, in that case i will not make a follow up appointment. Wait and see.

Sixth holiday blog

We are coming to the end of my holiday. Friday was the last day of sightseeing and we had selected Porthsmouth. Again not too far a drive from Winchester. Here you can see two great historic ships. The first is HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar. Last time I was here you went in with a guided tour, now it was selfguided. And I remem bered correctly how hard it is on us who are a bit taller. With 1.84 it is not fun. And the poor captain of the boat was 1.93. While would anyone of that length want to enter the navy of that time is beyond me. We all enjoyed the tour very much and after this one we went to the Mary Rose museum. She is a Tudor royal ship, named after Henry VIII's favorite sister. There is about half of the ship left and it is still being sprayed with a solution to save her. Amazing that it sunk almost 500 years ago. This year in September she will be dry and then they will preserve her and build a new museum that will open in 2012. I do want to come bac...

Flow!

Image
Flow is a wonderfull thing, it makes you creative and you want to keep going and going without ever stopping what you are doing. But.... if you are a chronic sufferer like me, it has it's drawbacks. I function very well if I take many a n to my practice in fact. It came to me last week. I don't have my own space for sessions so I have to rent. I like to communicate with people all over the world and already want to work with people from foreign countries who live in the Netherlands. Why not branch out to internet coaching? And use modern techniques as voice and video on the computer. I could then branch out to people who are thinking about moving and give them advice. And even do regular counseling/coaching for people who find it hard to come to my location. nd long breaks throughout the day. And well that kinda breaks the flow. finding my way in this process has taken me a long time. And I am there now, most of the time. This week I found it very difficult to stop in time, bef...

Dutch drivers

Image
There are days that I hate Dutch drivers! I had to take my dad to the hospital this morning for a check-up and of course it as during rush hour. In town I have to cross a point were it is almost impossible to get on the road at that hour because nobody will let you in. So I avoided this point by taking a detour and ended up there on the right road. Now I was thinking about the other people who have trouble merging in. And I let one car in what all the cars ahead of me didn't do. But then the other cars waiting pushed their way in in front of me. And that makes me mad!!!! you try to help and then they take advantage of you. Not good! At the hospital which we made with minutes to spare we found out that the doctor had been stuck in traffic and there was a 45 minutes delay. Grrrrrr not a nice morning. Started a new book this morning when I got home. romantic historical novel set in the time of Charles I. It is a new writer for me, so it is wait and see. I like a good story in my roma...
