Bloom True Boot Camp
Thur Sept  4. Get Quiet
" If you ever wanna know what a creative person's mind feels like, imagine a browser with 2,857 tabs open. ALL. THE. TIME "

I will never forget the first time I read these words... it wasn't that long ago and it was one of the many aha moments we have when we're on the road to self discovery.

I'm not sure if it was the fact that it described what goes on in my head so brilliantly that struck me most, or the realisation that  maybe there were others who felt the same way... maybe I am just "a creative person" and not insane after all. Maybe, just maybe I'm normal.

For me, along with creative you can throw in ambitious, sensitive, introverted and perfectionist with an anxiety disorder (there I've said it)... you can probably quadruple the number of tabs open on any given day. After nearly 50 years I'm still learning to live with myself and be comfortable in my own skin. I'm getting there.

So Getting Quiet is a biggie for me. I've dabbled with meditation over the years but I don't think its really stood a chance inside my head and I never gave it the time. Far too much chaos to meditate! 
I'm ready now though. Ready to ditch the chaos and see who's underneath it. Even as I speak those words I feel a mixture of fear and excitement because I'm well aware there's a part of me that finds comfort in the chaos... it's been my out, my excuse for many many years. When it's gone there's just me left... raw, alone. Will I be enough? Do I have what it takes? 

I think I do. I'll let you know.

Thank you Flora for your  Bloom True Meditation. It is perfect!

WOW SO beautifully said! I feel this way also! Thank you for sharing this!! Although i dont like to see others struggle, what an awesome feeling it is to know there are others out there who go thru the same things I do! Thanks again & off to try to do some of this meditation.!! Im great at prayer (talking to), but meditation (listening) is definitely a different story! One day at a time. One step at a time. Progress. Happy thursday!
