How to relax in a busy world

Dear Creatrix,

What did you think about the aboriginal statement I shared with you in the last lesson?

Did it help you to slow down your life?

Did it help you to relax?

Or did it make you feel uneasy? Was it too slow, too mindful?

Can you imagine yourself paying the outmost attention to everything that you do?

To know that whatever you do is the most important thing and nothing in the world is worth hurrying for?

Over Christmas (2023), I went to watch Perfect Days, a film by Wim Wenders, about a person who cleans the public toilets in Tokyo – very mindfully and respectfully.

And just like the protagonist in the film takes his job very seriously, so does Wim Wenders when portraying his life.

It’s a great film, and I can highly recommend it, but, as it is with most things – it’s not for everyone.

Some people I talked to after the film, who lead very busy lives, found the pace of the film incredibly difficult to handle.

When you don’t allow yourself to quietly watch the stars and the seasons change, or find pleasure in watching the leaves play with light, it’s not easy to watch other people do these things.

And we all have free choice and can live our lives as we please.

In fact, it is most important to me that you do only what you feel serves your highest good, and in the CREATRIX School in general. And again, if there are questions, doubts, insecurities – ask me – other people might have the same questions, that I’m not yet aware of and I’ll be more than happy to help and answer everything that comes up and add it here for all.

Remember that this is your life, so you need to make your own decisions and decide what you want and don’t want, and to only change things if it feels right and makes sense to you.

As human beings we have free will will, so either we deicde consciously what we want, or life just plays out and we have to deal. We will always level up. But if we don’t value and learn to take care of ourselves, while we still have that option, sicknesses or accidents – life – will slow us down eventually and that is most likely going to be more painful.

And the best thing about this is, the happiness that comes with it, really.

Before I was avoiding quiet time as much as I could, now my mind is happiest when I’m quiet.

My life is most fulfilled and joyful when I’m at ease, at peace, relaxed and have the mind space and capacity to be fully present with and to what I do – especially if that is just sitting and allowing my thoughts to sort themselves out.

And that’s not just my experience, science does back this up.

And you always have the chance to find out for yourself – by trying.

Changes, trying new things, can make us feel odd and uncomfortable at first – that is very normal, but it doesn’t mean that it is bad for us, or something we can’t do. It’s just an invitation to be OK with being uncomfortable.

Studies have shown that even five minutes of meditation daily has a positive impact on our lives; on our sleep, on our performance, on our overall health.

One of my teachers, Daniel Goleman, PhD, co-wrote a book with Richard Davidson called Altered Traits. For the book, they went through thousands of peer-reviewed studies on meditation from the best scientific journals and found the 60 most effective meditation and mindfulness practices.

And they found out that mindful breathing is the absolute best. I’ll show you how it’s done in an upcoming lesson.

Being quiet and meditating allows us to come back to our default setting – at peace and as one with all there is. No thinking, no differentiating, no judging.

And this is what allows us to breathe and relax and recover from the business of life.

We have discussed the importance of meditation and quieting our minds in the CREATRIX School before, and if you follow this link, you can also learn how to set up your regular meditation practice right now.

Today, however, we will have a look at the questions from last week, and introduce a new ritual that will help us to understand ourselves better and which will allow us to find new ways to meet our needs in the future.

Let’s start with the first question from the first lesson. I asked you to check in with yo…

🌈 You have the power to create your reality.

Body – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the CREATRIX School

Our lives are such incredible miracles.

Everything is moving, is changing at all times. We are always in motion, life is always in motion. Life is motion.

And we will become more familiar with the motion of our bodies, and what we like about them and what we need them for, and how we can influence their well-being, and our natural, radiant beauty in the best possible way in this chapter.

In this lesson, we start by becoming more familiar with the topic and also more aware of our bodies.

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the creatrix school

What does mindfulness actually mean? And how can you become more mindful?

Mindfulness can become an integral part of our lives, it’s not a practice, that’s separate from anything else.

And we will actually start right away, by noticing how we talk to ourselves and seeing how we can begin to stop judging ourselves.

How to overcome negative thinking

One of the most common obstacles we encounter on our way to living our best life or the life of our dreams is negative thinking.

In this lesson, we will look at where it comes from, why we’re so used to it, and how we can overcome it – because we won’t ever feel better or do better, because we are shaming, judging or punishing ourselves.

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 3

Mindfulness – Week 1 – Pt. 3

Everybody is Always Doing Their Best, Including You

In this lesson, we go even deeper, by exploring how we are really all doing our best at all time – because we are.

the more conscious and aware we become of what we do and why, the better we can choose, so we will start with becoming aware of how what we want shapes what we choose and how that creates our expereiences.

You Are Perfect ❤️

What is the first thing that comes to your mind, when you hear that you are perfect?
That you’re not perfect?

That you couldn’t be perfect because you made this mistake or didn’t do something like you were supposed to?

That you couldn’t be perfect because there was a time when you disappointed or hurt someone?

What if I told you that none of that mattered and that you are perfect, no matter what you do?

What if I shared with you that we are each perfect, exactly the way we are, simply because we exist?

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a new chapter in the CREATRIX School

This is going to be exciting! We will look at our food stories, and how care and nourishment and food are connected, we will see what we need to have a healthy diet – and mindset, and how to create a sacred and mindful kitchen.

And, in this lesson, we look at all of these topics a little bit, to become more familiar with these topics and to be able to set our goals for this chapter well.

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 2

Food – Week 1 – Pt. 2

Let’s explore our food stories

In this lesson, we explore how our past influences our present.

We will look at our relationship to food growing up and how this still shows in our present, and then we will look at what that tells us about how we deal with our emotions now.

Do we try to use food to emotionally regulate? Because bringing awareness to this, is the first step to creating healthier eating patterns.

Ritual: Connecting without Recreational Drugs

Ritual: Connecting without Recreational Drugs

Let’s make new friends – while being sober.

Drinking alcohol seems like such a normal part of the lives of many. Just looking for stock photos of ‘friends’, it’s difficult to find pictures without alcoholic beverages in them.

We get offered free drinks at restaurants, and often people act as if you are insulting them, if you don’t choose to have a drink with them. But we don’t have to be an alcoholic to not want to drink. We may simply wish not to cause unnatural highs and lows, that don’t serve us.

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 1

Welcome to a New Chapter in the CREATRIX School

And we will start this chapter by asking ourselves some questions to find out where we are and where we would like to go in terms of friendships and true connection.

Friendships – Week 1 – Pt. 2

How can we overcome loneliness? 🩷

Let’s explore more of what we are wishing for and see how we can overcome loneliness – individually and collectively.

Because we do all need each other. Friendships can bring us closer to our shadows, and they can help us heal. More friends are not necessarily better than a few good ones – and in the end, it all boils down to what we really wish for.
What’s that for you?
