Building appreciation muscles/ laying new pipes/ building new thoughtways/ calibrating more to my inner beings perspective/ pivoting more to the wanted end of the stick: I appreciate my young supervisor. She's picking up the ropes. Others misinterpret her for being a little abrupt, but I can see tha...

I am in the process of constructing my practising thread. Getting over my perfectionist attitude :lol: I have wavered over making the transition to my new job, going over the pros and cons. Which I know does me no good! It just creates wobble, when I would be better off just looking at the pros and ...

I've been having a bit of a wobbler today, gone off course, and contrast can piss you off sometimes. Non Abers might just chalk it up, "well life just happens!" or "shit happens." I can also sort of forgive myself for going back to that place where I'm bent out of shape, knee jer...

Reflecting on this, there is actually a whole lot of stuff I could appreciate in my daily life. Even my job, which I moan about: it at least puts money in my pocket. I usually go the coffee shop and have a brew after my shift and reflect on my shift, relaxing. I have a roof over my head. Hell, I ev...

I go to the gym regularly. I suppose if I'm to use an analogy, it's kind of like that right? My appreciation muscles are underdeveloped and lacking. At first it's difficult, you have to stretch yourself, sometimes, even forcing yourself and you start with the lowest weight and train yourself to bigg...
