2012 - The year to take control of emotions

The way to get energy, is not from other people. The way to release it, is not through others either.

I have been fortunate enough in the last year to have been exposed to a way of releasing the build up of
tension without needing to take it out on others. I have also been able to continously renew my energy source without getting it from anywhere outside of myself.

If you would like to talk more about it, contact me.

modern day madness

I was at the YMCA gym today running on the treadmill . The screen on the treadmill showed a little red marker, which was me, climbing up a steep mountain . My actual view from the treadmill was a window, facing a large concrete wall on Burard street?

Less than six months ago, I was living on a beautiful mountainside in the Philippines, right on the ocean. Now, here I am, running indoors on a treadmill facing a concrete wall on a grey, Wednesday afternoon in January.  To say the least, I have been having a really hard time these past few days. Photos, documents, clothes from my life in the Philippines, all needed to be sorted through yesterday. I can feel a tightness in my throat right now. I received an e-mail from while in the change room getting ready. It was something I was not prepared to hear. After only one day of feeling ok about my life here, things were not going well. My jogging on the treadmill, after that e-mail must have seemed borderline obsessive. I imagined I must have appeared like some weight obsessed teenage girl desperately trying to shed some pounds. I thought if I ran hard, I could just run away.

Me looking into infinity, El Nido, Philippines

Last night I had a dream I was looking for my apartment and I couldn't remember where it was amongst thousands of them, all lined up and looking exactly the same. I had two bags I had to deliver there and while looking for the right door, I put the bags down and then couldn't remember where. When I finally found the apartment, I remembered I had placed the key on the bag. It was a disaster and I kept waking up, feeling really uneasy.
