So What Am I Doing Now?
09 March 2024
I am still focusing on these 3 things:
- Seeking reality in everthing I experience and discover.
- Improving my physical and mental fitness.
- Searching for what I want to do for a living next.
The first item is one that has changed, and continues to change, my life!
The second item is one that is part of the first one. I have found that the technological advances of the present day make this harder, not easier. The exercise that we used to get in the course of our daily lives has been reduced by this and it takes more deliberate action to build in times and routines to embed this back in daily life.
I am still looking at options for earning a living. It's looking less likely that I will remain on my current job. Why? It is a different "me" that is there, and that "me" is much more open to new thoughts and willing to try to understand them; while I work among many people who insist that the way we do things is the way that we've always done them. That attitude seems to be, if anything, more entrenched than I've ever seen it - but perhaps that is because I've been developing eyes to see it! Where this is leading, I'm still not sure. I do know that change is constantly happening in my life and am enjoying the ride.
I have also been looking at my life and Subtracting things; part of which is trying to observe what they are and why I feel drawn to them. My goals were long-delayed because I kept adding things without stopping to think about them, what they are, and what - if anything - they really mean to me. Check out the post To Move Forward, Subtract for some of my earlier thinking on the subject.
Subtracting, and getting back to the idea that I need to focus on one thing at a time, is leading me to do a lot of cleanup in life.
I've been going through piles of stuff and getting rid of a lot, for I realize now having large piles that are saved for "Maybe some day?" only clutter up life and hamper the person collecting them.
I have have cut all of things I was trying to learn down to just one thing. Why? Because trying to do too many things meant I had no pleasure in doing any of them!
I am taking music lessons and learning music theory. In my youth, I took many hours of music lessons - but never once did anyone teach me how to create music. It is a new, very enjoyable experience and I'm having a great time with it!
