I “can't wait” for something all the time
I “can't wait” for something all the time - there are days when I can't wait for the evening, there are days when I can't wait for the morning to come, I can't wait for the kids from school and the nursery, but other times I can't wait to be alone. Sometimes I can't wait for the workday to start and then I can’t wait for it to end.
I can't wait for something all the time…
When I was little - I wanted to grow up faster, to work and make my own money - to be my own boss and not mom`s , when I started working and I having other bosses - I couldn't wait to work "for myself"
I couldn't wait to finish school - now I'm studying and I can't wait for new trainings to come ... I can't wait to learn more, to get more and more knowledge…
I can't wait for something all the time…
When children were under my heart - I wanted to see them sooner, I was waiting for the first smile, the first words and sentences - I was so much waiting for them to say "Mom, I love you!"
I can't wait for my next vacation, trip, next holiday and visiting friends and then I can't wait to be alone…
I can't wait for something all the time…
But now I want and learn to go, talk, even breathe slower and believe that everything will happen as it should…
It's more about being here and now - to be for real in small moments and enjoy little happy things, because, as Ziedonis once said - there is no such big happiness - there are only many small happy moments…
Is it too late to learn?
"Well, Liene, how much can you learn?" I was recently asked by an acquaintance. In the past, as a child or more as a teenager, I couldn't get myself to school sometimes when I had to, and now when I am much older, when already have graduated from college and started my career, I am sitting on the school bench again (more on the computer).
One might wonder - how much more you can learn? But I will say, friends, I am now learning with a completely different enthusiasm and passion - now I am not doing it because of my parents, teachers or my certificate. I do it for myself and I catch an unreal fun feeling! I enjoy sharing my knowledge and at times it feels like I am walking advertising agent for therapists - because I love and believe in what I do and learn so much!
Therefore - no, I don't think it's too late to learn - and by the way - if we continue to actively make our brain work - there is less risk of developing dementia, etc. :)
So - keep learning - it is never too late! :)
What is psychosomatics?
One of the topics close to me, especially since I started learning therapy, is psychosomatics. Often people ask me what it is and then, as a hard-working student, I get excited and want to explain this subject in therapy terms and definitions, but not this time. In simple words, it is an illness on a physiological level from psychological consequences. The easiest, example, I think is an example of a headache - I suffer with unreal headaches (and used to be true story of myself) - I go to all the doctors - family, neurologist, etc.
I don't find anything on a physiological level - then through therapy I realize that my head is "going nuts" because of anger that I suppress...
I once read somewhere that with a suppressed emotion it is the similar as with a water tap which is being closed with a finger - somewhere the running water should go - just as if we suppress the emotion - somewhere it will go anyway - head, stomach, heart, etc.
The secret of long life - is there such?
One of the things I really enjoy is spending time with people...
Today we visited our aunt - 91 years old, she survived the Second World War and much more -> having an easy and cheerful talk - even about the vaccinations, what's happening now in the world, etc.
She seems to be more worried about what's on the table - whether there is enough cookies and for the tea to be served warm ...
We are talking about firewood preparation for winter, other interesting things that are seemed important at the moment ...
When I ask about the secret of a long life - aunt takes a long break ... thinks and responds I don't know ... I don't take vitamins ... I eat a lot of vegetables, berries, drink tea and something stronger if I want to ... I just go and do things ... if I fall - I get up and keep going ...
Sounds so easy - right?
So, let's just go, do things and live, and if falling - get up and move on!
I wonder, maybe, there is nothing difficult in long life success, you just have to live - take smaller or longer breaks, and learn to get up and move on?
And what is your secret, going forward?
