"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once." - Audrey Hepburn
It has been two seasons since I last blogged. I have spent all morning, afternoon and now a good portion of my Saturday evening desperate for inspiration. Why am I desperate for inspiration ? It is because I confess I am stuck! Ok, so I am slightly embarrassed to disclose this feeling but we have all been stuck at some point in our life time right? Take these examples, maybe we are not certain if we should end our relationship of 5 yrs because that will mean we will have to be single, or maybe we want to resign from our uninspiring job and pursue our passion in life as a fashion photographer or a lonely planet travel writer but there are concerns we are getting too old, or maybe it is because we are feeling empty in life and have very little hope or maybe we have a awful habit we can't shake.
How does one find inspiration? Some people are lucky and book a holiday to exotic Brazil, whilst other people aren't as lucky and instead scramble for change and go to a local pub and enjoy a few drinks, others follow in the foot steps of what have worked for their friends i.e meditation classes, tarot reading, philosophical classes, acting lessons. I on the other hand decided to take up the latest fad "Live A Better Life in 30 Days" challenge. It is much like boot camp but without the arduous sit ups and being passed twice by a grandmother whilst doing laps around the oval. Instead the challenge is to complete required exercises everyday of the month, in my case the month of November in a notepad, one of which I will explain later below, and then consciously reflect on what is happening in your life and then finally committing yourself to make a difference so you can grow and live a life of wholeness. I have always believed that you are in the pilot seat of your life and it is you that is responsible for it. If you wish to join me in this 30 day challenge please swing by the following website http://celestinechua.com/blog/live-a-better-life-in-30-days-challenge/
p.s I was skeptical about commencing day 1 of the challenge which was to create 'My Life Wheel' but I learnt there is particular areas in my life wheel where I scored a frightening '1'. I realised I didn't want to stick with the low score forever either! Here is the link to the page which explains the life wheel in detail http://celestinechua.com/blog/30dlbl-day-1-life-wheel/
