So incredibly helpful. I will definitely heed your advice. Personally, when I hope something goes away instead of addressing it directly, that’s when the negative energy sets in and I get defensive, probably because I feel guilty. An example is, I have an aunt who lives abroad and only has a landline. She has no whatsapp/facetime and when I call her, she keeps me at least an hour on the phone - and I can’t help but think I’m going to be down 70 to 80 eu each time! Plus, since my mum died in 2016, long phone calls don’t really happen so I have to psyche myself up each time. I’m going to suck it up, though, because I always feel a cloud lift after I talk to her. I am also guilty of not touching base enough with my friends and I aim to improve there as well.
Another thing, and
@Gertrude referenced this - is that the pandemic has given us a new, unforeseen, normal, whereby we have our own work/life routine from home. I absolutely agree with her with regard to the anxiety of returning to a more tumultuous reality. It is inevitable but it will be hard.
I would love to do the clap for energy every month. I really enjoyed the run up to it as well - a thorough clear out and spring clean, the feeling of everything clean and bright as prep, and wearing something lovely, all contributed.
My lovely money toads arrived! So happy. Still waiting on the rose quartz, though.
